“…PVA polymer has either been used alone or combined with other biodegradable polymers and electrospun to form scaffolds for various applications. Furthermore, PVA has also been blended and electrospun with active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid/L-arginine, soursop leaves extract, silver nanoparticles and curcumin for wound healing [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Recently, we have developed, for the first time, a PVA bioactive wound dressing containing TE which showed accelerated wound healing [ 32 ].…”

“…PVA is a biocompatible and biodegradable hydrophilic polymer with good chemical and mechanical properties, and has been approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for different biomedical and pharmaceutical applications [ 27 , 28 ]. For instance, PVA has been used to create hydrogels for wound dressing [ 29 ] or electrospun together with active substances, such as silver nanoparticles [ 30 ], and curcumin [ 31 ], to produce wound dressings. Several wound dressings in the market containing active agents such as hydrocolloids or silver dressings often used on wound healing have shown negative effects such as allergic contact dermatitis [ 32 ], and use of dressings loaded with antibiotics has risk of developing antimicrobial resistance [ 33 ].…”

“…The rise in water absorption is mainly due to the nanofillers. It is known that the nano‐sized filler has high surface area to volume ratio leading to a large porosity and specific area to absorb water . Additionally, nanofillers are hydrophilic which tend to absorb moisture from the air naturally leading to the hydroxyl groups surrounded the nanoparticles.…”
