Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a versatile synthetic polymer, used for the design of hydrogels, porous membranes and films. Its solubility in water, film- hydrogel-forming capabilities, non-toxicity, crystallinity excellent mechanical properties, chemical inertness stability towards biological fluids, superior oxygen gas barrier good printability availability (relatively low production cost) are main aspects that make PVA suitable variety applications, from biomedical pharmaceutical uses to sensing devices, packaging materials or wastewater treatment. However, pure present limited flexibility poor biocompatibility biodegradability, which restrict its use alone various applications. mixed with other polymers biomolecules (polysaccharides, proteins, peptides, amino acids etc.), as well inorganic/organic compounds, generates wide PVA’s shortcomings considerably improved, new functionalities obtained. Also, transformation brings features opens door unexpected uses. The review focused on recent advances PVA-based hydrogels.

In Vitro Biocompatibility and Wound Healing Potential of Bilayered Scaffold With Electrospun Gentamicin‐Loaded Pullulan/PVA/Gum Arabic Nanofibers and Solvent‐Casted PLA

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 15, 2025

ABSTRACT Wound healing, especially for severe injuries, require dressings that absorb exudate, prevent infection, and support healing without causing trauma upon removal. Traditional single‐layered often fail to balance moisture retention protection, hindering optimal healing. To address this, a bilayered scaffold was fabricated comprising an electrospun hydrophilic sublayer of Pullulan/Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/Gum arabic blend loaded with Gentamicin solvent‐casted hydrophobic top layer Polylactic acid (PLA). The designed direct wound contact ease dressing removal, while the enhance mechanical properties, loss, protect against external environment. exhibited antibacterial activity Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli , controlled release 93.09% ± 2.63% within 48 h, best described by zero‐order model ( R 2 = 0.9850). It demonstrated swelling index 611.85% 15.05%, indicating its excellent exudate absorbing capacity. water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) porosity were 94.20 14.50 g/m /day 70.56% 0.58%, respectively, both falling permissible range Additionally, in vitro biocompatibility assays conducted on human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells confirmed noncytotoxicity applicability applications.
