Polyvinyl alcohol nanofiber based three phase wound dressings for sustained wound healing applications

Herein we present our research on a novel three phase antibacterial wound dressing prepared from carbon nanotubes, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and polyvinyl alcohol nanofibers. The AgNPs were generated on carbon nanotubes surfaces to synthesize carbon nanotubes-AgNP nanoparticles which were added into the polyvinyl alcohol nanofibers prior to electrospinning to prepare PVA/carbon nanotubes-AgNP composite nanofibers. All characterizations...
