Abstract
Medical wound dressing with natural antibacterial efficacy is an important issue. However, few studies on Artemisia argyi oil based wound dressing have been studied because of the volatility of the Artemisia argyi oil. In this study, Artemisia argyi oil -microcapsules (AAO-MC)/PVC fibrous membrane were fabricated through emulsification-internal gelation and electrospinning method. The membranes were characterized by SEM, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and particle diameter, hydrophilicity, breathability, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), and antibacterial performance were evaluated. The results show that AAO-MC microcapsules excellent stability, and the slow-release property. Moreover, the prepared AAO-MC/PVC fibrous membrane indicated good WVT (72.47 g/(m²·h)), high hydrophilicity (30.5°), and outstanding antibacterial rate (94.3%). This study provides a new strategy to prepare microcapsule nanofibrous membrane with excellent performance and is suggested to be a promising candidate for medical wound dressings.
