  Abstract

Gelatin is an easily obtained substance and has a good hemostatic effect, but its manufacture by using a single fiber is difficult. Alginate is a natural nontoxic polymer and is highly absorbable. We prepared with nonwoven fabrics from gelatin and alginate blend fibers for wound dressing. The manufacturing method of a wet-laid nonwoven process was used, that could control the final properties and performance, based on the length or quantity of fibers. The length and the areal density of alginate/gelatin fibers were measured to compare structure, surface, and mechanical properties of nonwovens. Moreover, the fibers were cleaned in combination with various solvents to ensure biological safety, and the cell growth rates were confirmed.
