Nanotechnological Dressings Containing Pomegranate
Abstract
Electrospinning, which is a nanotechnological method for rapid healing of wounds of diabetics, is aimed at naturally existing wound dressings. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), which is very useful, has been used for the electrospinning method, which includes properties such as being easily soluble in water, easily rotated, and forming permanent nanofiber surfaces. A mixture of 10% by mass of pure water and granular PVA was prepared by weighing on a precision scale. The mixture was stirred in a heated magnetic stirrer for 3 hours up to 80 °C and left at room temperature for 24 hours. To the remaining 10% PVA, 5% potency pomegranate (PP) additive was added and mixed in a magnetic stirrer at 30 oC for 45 minutes. Body wounds need calories, protein, vitamins A-C and zinc to heal. PVA, PVA-PP composites have been successfully obtained with the difference of nanotechnology without allowing possible welding formations by electrospinning technique.
