Nanofibrous poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)/collagen/graphene oxide scaffolds for wound coverage.

The purpose of wound management is to prevent wound from infection, increase the fibroblast cell growth, and preserve cellular function. The polymeric electrospun nanofiber scaffold made up of natural and/or synthetic polymer provides an extracellular matrix for support and initiates the growth, proliferation and differentiation of fibroblast cells. The present study deals with the development of poly3-hydroxybutyric acid-co-3-hydroxyvaleric acid (PHBV) nanofibrous scaffold imbedded with graphene oxide (GO), and collagen.
