    Wound healing requires advanced solutions that can support tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and prevent infections. This thesis presents the development of an electrospun wound dressing made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), alginate, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and curcumin. The objective was to create a multifunctional dressing capable of improving healing in burn wounds by combining the mechanical stability of PVA, the moisture retention of alginate, and the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of AgNPs and curcumin. Rheological tests were performed to identify critical polymer concentrations and determine the influence of molecular weight on fiber morphology. Electrospinning conditions were optimized to obtain bead-free nanofibers with diameters ranging from 200 to 600 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed the presence and distribution of active agents in the fibers. Biological evaluation using fibroblast 3T3 cells under direct contact conditions demonstrated good cell compatibility, especially in the first three days. It is important to highlight that by day seven, the culture medium was not replaced, yet cells still showed metabolic activity despite the reduced nutrients and suboptimal pH. This result suggests that the material provides a suitable environment that supports cell viability over time. The results show that this electrospun dressing has potential for use in burn wound healing applications.
