In the management of burn wounds, antimicrobial and wound healing properties are crucial. In this study, we prepared a three-layer electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) membrane for burn wound dressing. The hydrophobic electrospun PCL layer, embedded with silver nanoparticles (SNPs) (PCL-Ag), was coated with another layer of electrospun plasma-treated PCLAg to enhance the wettability of the membrane.

Although poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA) has certain mechanical drawbacks such as a weak barrier, it has widely been used in food packaging over the last many years. To increase the suitability of PVA (C2H4O)n and render it ideal for food packaging, a diversity of studies have already been carried out. In the below-mentioned script, we, for the first time, report the use of natural product osthol in making a new composite with PVA for enhancing thermal, physicochemical, and antimicrobial properties.
