 Abstract:

The study aimed to fabrication  a scaffold from biopolymeric materials to serve as a bioactive wound dressing for treating skin wounds. A physiochemical test was conducted  such as: FESEM, FTIR, wettability,    Swelling degree, DSC, amino acide composition, MTT and antibacterial activity test

and the results showed that this scaffold is suitable for use as a wound dressing in medical applications.
