TI  - Electrospun PVA Fibers for Drug Delivery: A Review.

AB  - Innovation in biomedical science is always a field of interest for researchers. 
      Drug delivery, being one of the key areas of biomedical science, has gained 
      considerable significance. The utilization of simple yet effective techniques 
      such as electrospinning has undergone significant development in the field of 
      drug delivery. Various polymers such as PEG (polyethylene glycol), PLGA 
      (Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)), PLA(Polylactic acid), and PCA (poly(methacrylate 
      citric acid)) have been utilized to prepare electrospinning-based drug delivery 
      systems (DDSs). Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has recently gained attention because of 
      its biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, and ideal mechanical 
      properties as these are the key factors in developing DDSs. Moreover, it has 
      shown promising results in developing DDSs individually and when combined with 
      natural and synthetic polymers such as chitosan and polycaprolactone (PCL). 
      Considering the outstanding properties of PVA, the aim of this review paper was 
      therefore to summarize these recent advances by highlighting the potential of 
      electrospun PVA for drug delivery systems.
