Production and characterization of biocompatible nanofibrous scaffolds made of-loaded polyvinyl alcohol/tragacanth gum composites.

Electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and tragacanth gum (TG) were used to develop nanofibrous scaffolds containing poorly water-solubleSitosterol (S). Different concentrations and ratios of the polymeric composite includingS (10% w v) in PVA (8% w v) combined with TG (0.5 and 1% w v) were prepared and electrospun.
