“…The area of the wound was measured using the planimetry method at one, 3, 7, 10 and 14 days after injury. The percentage healing is defined by equation (6): Wound area (%) = AT/AO × 100 (6) in which AO is the initial wound area and AT is the measured area. In addition, the wounded skin was removed at 7 and 14 days after injury for histopathological observation of epithelialization and granulation.…”

“…Many researchers have utilized electrospinning to fabricate nanofibrous PVA scaffolds for use in wound healing. [5][6][7] Additionally, chitosan displays unique polycationic, chelating, and film-forming properties due to the presence of active amino and hydroxyl groups. However, the poor solubility of chitosan in common organic solvents and water at physiological pH values (7.2-7.4) has restricted its use in biomedical applications.…”

“…This feature leads to the amount of storage a large amount of water and special surface property. Hence, in this background, synthetics hydrogels are awaken interest at tissue engineering, cell encapsulate and drug delivery [17]. Another type of nanomaterial that have attracted increasing attention due to their unique properties in multidisciplinary research fields are gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) [2] [3].…”

“…Another important characteristic of AuNPs is the ability of dissipating heat when absorbing light, being an interest approach for thermal therapy as a trigger to release of encapsulated drugs from thermosensitive hydrogels [9] [17]. Moreover, there are no reports on the use of BS for preparing crosslinked AuNPs hydrogel nanocomposites, despite its relevance in the context of new formulations for biocompatible hydrogels.…”

“…PVA is a non-toxic, hydrophilic polymer with biodegradation and adhesive properties that can form solid hydrogen bonds with water (Bolto et al, 2009;Garg et al, 2014). Many researchers have utilized electrospinning to fabricate PVA nanofibrous scaffolds for use as wound healing scaffolds (Draize et al, 1944;Cencetti et al, 2012;Charernsriwilaiwat et al, 2012;Nitanan et al, 2013). A characteristic of materials designed for wound dressing is its antimicrobial effect.…”
