Wound dressings play a crucial role in promoting wound healing by providing protective barrier against infections and facilitating tissue regeneration. Electrospun nanofibers have emerged as promising materials for dressing applications due to their high surface area, porosity, resemblance the extracellular matrix. In this study, chitosan, biocompatible biodegradable polymer, was electrospun into potential use dressing. The chitosan were characterized using various analytical techniques assess morphology biocompatibility. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed formation of uniform bead-free with diameters ranging from tens hundreds nanometers. Structural analysis, including Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy X-ray diffraction (XRD), elucidated chemical composition crystalline structure nanofibers. Furthermore, vitro studies evaluated cytocompatibility human dermal fibroblasts, demonstrating cell viability proliferation on Additionally, antibacterial properties assessed evaluate preventing infections.

The growing pollution of the environment with slowly decomposing waste, as well increasing drug resistance pathogens, including antibiotic bacteria, has led to a search for new solutions based on biodegradable and natural materials, which are known their potential bacteriostatic properties. This study aimed produce nanofibers by blowing from polylactide (PLA) polymer solution containing compounds (e.g., beeswax, propolis). As result conducted research, were produced PLA various additives. fibers’ mean diameter ranges 0.36 2.38 µm, depending process parameters. To authors’ knowledge, fibers first time blow spinning propolis beeswax.

In this study, polysaccharide-based nanofibrous fast dissolving oral films (FDOFs) were developed using pullulan (PUL) and xanthan gum (XG) via electrospinning. The edible, continuous, bead-free nanofibers with average diameters ranging from 181.17 nm to 260.84 prepared. morphological, thermal, mechanical, water-soluble properties of the FDOFs characterized. For prospective future applications PUL/XG FDOFs, a model nutrient vitamin C (VC) was encapsulated into FDOFs. success VC encapsulation confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. efficiency above 85% ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. amorphous structure in film demonstrated X-ray diffractometer. addition, edible could dissolve water within 3 s. we prepared be used as or drug carriers packaging film.
