dc.descriptionIn this work, double layer scaffolds were produced through the use of the electrospinning technique. One layer acts as mechanical support, being composed of polycaprolactone or a polycaprolactone/cellulose acetate blend (PCL and PCL/CA, respectively), while the other layer performs the role of primary wound dressing, being constituted by a chitosan/poly (ethylene oxide) blend (CHI/PEO). The scaffolds have the typical electrospun structure of interconnected open macropores due to the uniform distribution of randomly oriented fibers. The diameters of the PCL and PCL/CA fibers range from 1 to 4 pm while those of CHI/PEO fibers are smaller than 200 nm. The PCL or PCL/CA layers are responsible for the mechanical properties of the scaffolds: tensile strength of 1.4-1.8 MPa, Young's modulus of 10-15 GPa and elongation at break higher than 430%. The use of 10 wt% of CA in PCL/CA blends increases both tensile strength and Young's modulus, without loss of maximum elongation. There is a significant difference in surface Wettability of PCL or PCL/CA and CHI/PEO, as verified by water contact angle assays, being the CHI layer more hydrophilic (contact angle around 35) than the PCL-based layers (contact angle around 110) The double layer scaffolds PCL + CHI/PEO/PEO and PCL/CA + CHI/PEO/PEO presents a water vapor permeation rate of around 730 g m(- 2) day(-1) and a PBS solution uptake capability of up to 369%, being this characteristics attributed to the high volumetric porosity of the scaffolds (around 80%). The scaffolds properties meet the necessary requirements for application as dressings for skin lesions, showing also low cytotoxicity to L929 fibroblasts and promoting adequate cell proliferation.
