An innovative route to prepare in situ graded crosslinked PVA graphene electrospun mats for drug release

Emmanuel Fortunato Gulino et al.

Summary: We present a fast and one-step method to obtain PVA/graphene/chlorhexidine nanofibrous membranes with a crosslinking gradient. The crucial role of graphene in promoting heat transfer throughout the entire structure is revealed, leading to 70-80% crosslinking degrees and preventing delamination issues. The release behavior of the materials can be tuned from instantaneous/burst to sustained release (up to 500 h) by adjusting formulation and preparation technique.
