(323) Electrospinning of nanofibers and the perspectives for dermatological application
Introduction: Electrospinning is a versatile technique that produces nanofibers with unique properties such as high surface-to-volume ratio, flexibility, porosity, and superior mechanical performance compared to other materials (1). It can also serve as a delivery system for active ingredients, enhancing dermatological treatments (2). This study aimed to develop an electrospun nanostructured material from a polymeric solution containing essential oil, focusing on its antibacterial action and exploring its potential applications in dermatological products.
Learning Objectives:
To develop a nanofiber made of ethylcellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone containing essential oil
To evaluate the morphology and properties of the nanofibers.
To explore the potential of the material as a new vehicle for dermatological applications.
