“…In the current study, the tensile strength values of fiber mats declined when the PE content loaded into the PCL/GEL electrospun nanofibers increased. Our results also agree with previous studies demonstrating that loading plant extracts in elec-trospun nanofibers reduces the mechanical performance of nanofibrous materials [37][38][39]. Several explications have been attributed to the reduction in the mechanical properties of fibrous materials after loading natural compounds.…”

“…The wettability of electrospun nanofiber mats is an essential property for biomedical applications since they should absorb wound exudates and maintain moisturized environments for wound healing [5,15,38]. When the hydrophilicity was measured, it was found that the contact angle for the PCL/GEL/0.18%PE electrospun nanofiber significantly decreased compared to the PCL/GEL sample.…”

“…6,8 PCL is a semi-crystalline synthetic polymer used in biomedical applications because of its low melting point, high tensile strength, ease of processability, mechanical strength, adequate stability under ambient temperatures, non-toxic nature and biodegradability. 6,8,[10][11][12] PCL lacks an active surface suitable for cell functions, and its weak hydrophilicity reduces its cytocompatibility. 7,9 Therefore, scientists have considered combining PCL with natural hydrophilic polymers with chemically reactive surfaces, such as chitosan, alginate and Gel, to counteract this drawback.…”

“…7,9 Therefore, scientists have considered combining PCL with natural hydrophilic polymers with chemically reactive surfaces, such as chitosan, alginate and Gel, to counteract this drawback. [8][9][10] Gel is an easily obtainable biopolymer derived from collagen, the most prevalent structural protein found in animal connective tissues such as skin, tendon, cartilage and bone. 5 In addition, its low cost, biocompatibility and non-immunogenicity make it favorable in the biomedical industry.…”
