Khudzari, supervisor Biomedical engineering and health sciences Not available Wound healing is a complicated process that has been affected millions of publics due to inappropriate care and management. It is important to give full medication for any injuries as to make sure that all the tissues complexion is fully reinstated to the original state. The current study was done to fabricate nanocomposites composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) as well as edible bird nest (EBN) extract of different ratios through electrospinning for the wound healing application. The ratios proposed were 12:0, 11:1, and 10:2 of PCL to EBN extract concentration. The polymeric solutions were dissolved in a mixture of chloroform and dimethylformamide (DMF). Various methods had been used such as contact angle measurement, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in order to provide physicochemical properties of the newly form nanofiber scaffold. In general, the diameter of the fiber decreased with the decreasing concentration of EBN and the pore size of the scaffold were decreased with the increasing amount of EBN concentration. In addition, the contact angle measurement revealed that the addition of EBN extract to the pure PCL had increased the hydrophilicity properties of the nanocomposites. Based on the results obtained in the present study, the newly fabricated nanofiber verified required properties that are well matched to be used in wound healing applications, precisely as wound dressing. fahmimoksen UTM 68 p.
