Objective: To evaluate the application of a fabricated dressing containing kaolin for skin regeneration in a rat model of excisional wounds. Method: In the present study, kaolin was loaded into electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/chitosan polymer blend to develop a composite nanofibrous dressing. To make the yarns, kaolin with weight ratio of 5% was added to PVA/chitosan polymer blend and subsequently formed into nanofibres using the electrospinning method. Scaffolds were evaluated for to their microstructure, mechanical properties, surface wettability, water vapour transmission rate, water-uptake capacity, blood uptake capacity, blood compatibility, microbial penetration test, the number of colonies, and cellular response with the L929 cell line. Rats with full-thickness excisional wounds were treated with kaolin-containing and kaolin-free dressings. Results: The study showed that rats treated with the kaolin-incorporated mats demonstrated a significant closure to nearly 97.62±4.81% after 14 days compared with PVA/chitosan and the sterile gauze, which showed 86.15±8.11% and 78.50±4.22% of wound closure, respectively. The histopathological studies showed that in the PVA/chitosan/kaolin group, dense and regular collagen fibres were formed, while wounds treated with sterile gauze or PVA/chitosan scaffolds had random and loose collagen fibres. Conclusion: Our results show the potential applicability of PVA/chitosan/kaolin scaffolds as a wound care material.

The polymer blend of Ethyl Cellulose (EC) with Poly (vinyl) pyrrolidone (PVP) of various weight percentages at different thickness are used for measurement of dielectric permittivity, electrical conductivity and optical properties. The activation energies of the EC and its blend with PVP are obtained through measurement of dc conductivity. The samples are characterized by using X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The blends of EC with PVP in the ratio of 50:50 weight percent using FTIR over the range of wavenumber 4000-500 cm-1. Key words: Polymer Blend, XRD, SEM, FTIR, dielectric permittivity, activation energy.
