Abstract
The present research is mainly based on the fabrication of biodegradable nanofiber mats (NFM) through the process of electrospinning using a novel combination of Gum Ghatti (GG) and Poly vinyl alcohol (PVA). The prepared NFM was crosslinked (CL-1) using Glutaraldeyde-HCl vapours and was characterized for its tensile strength along other analytical characterizations using FTIR, TGA, DSC and XRD. The mechanical strength of the NFM was found to be sufficiently high than in comparison to noncrosslinked sample and PVA NFM. The internal architecture of the CL-1 by use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that there was very well formed crosslinks suitable for drug loading as well as cell proliferation. The wound healing properties of the CL-1 in mice animal model indicated the healing within 5 days as compared to the control wound. Moreover, the sample was also analysed for its ability as polymeric scaffold and no toxicity was found onto the locally applied tissue on histological investigations.
