        abstract = {In marine settings, the wound healing process is hampered by the constant presence of high-saline water, microbial biofilms and frequent mechanical (repeated collision with the environment). Traditional dressings which have been ineffective under this situation call for innovative biomaterials. PAN contributes to mechanical property, chemical resistance, and PVA contributes biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and hydrogel formation. These properties are utilized in conjunction in PAN–PVA hybrids, especially in electrospun nanofiber and hydrogel composites, to make wound patches apt for challenging aquatic conditions. The mechanical, chemical, biological activity and performance of PAN, PVA and their derivatives have been reviewed, in particular, the focusing issues of electro-spinning, crosslinking ways, saline resistance, antibacterial effect modifications.},
