In Situ Electrospinning Iodine-Based Fibrous Meshes for Antibacterial Wound Dressing

Abstract For effective application of electrospinning and electrospun fibrous meshes in wound dressing, we have in situ electrospun poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)/iodine (PVP/I), PVP/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)-iodine (PVPI) complex, and poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB)/PVPI solutions into fibrous membranes by a hand...

Description
Summary:Abstract For effective application of electrospinning and electrospun fibrous meshes in wound dressing, we have in situ electrospun poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)/iodine (PVP/I), PVP/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)-iodine (PVPI) complex, and poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB)/PVPI solutions into fibrous membranes by a handheld electrospinning apparatus. The morphologies of the electrospun fibers were examined by SEM, and the hydrophobicity, gas permeability, and antibacterial properties of the as-spun meshes were also investigated. The flexibility and feasibility of in situ electrospinning PVP/I, PVP/PVPI, and PVB/PVPI membranes, as well as the excellent gas permeabilities and antibacterial properties of the as-spun meshes, promised their potential applications in wound healing.
