Hydrogels have shown enough potential for developing wound dressings due to very high hydrophilicity and functionality. Several wound healing dressings have been prepared with natural and synthetic polymer combinations. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has gained remarkable recognition in the biomedical field due to its excellent biocompatibility, hydrophilicity and biodegradability. PVA in combination with other biopolymers has come up as the most effective material in wound care management. Sodium alginate (SA), is a natural polymer derived from brown algae or bacteria. Keeping this in view, the present study aims at the preparation of the PVA/SA based hydrogel membrane. Prepared membranes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), to find out the functionality and crystallinity of membrane. Enhancement of thermal property and interaction between components of prepared hydrogel was evidenced by the increase in glass transition temperature by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The stability of the membrane under aqueous environment is also evaluated.
