Morphological and wettability evaluation of electrospun polivinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofiber membrane for wound dressing application.

Many researches have focused on producing electrospun nanofiber membranes (ENMs) aiming to speed up physiological events of wound healing. However, it is still a challenge to fabricate functional ENMs using electrospinning technique, taken into account various factors that may affect the fibers diam...
