ABSTRACT Wound ulceration induces inflammation, delays tissue repair, and may trigger systemic infections, thereby endangering bodily health. Hydrogel films are capable of accelerating wound healing processes. This study fabricated polyvinylpyrrolidone/polycaprolactone (PVP/PCL) nanofiber‐hydrogel membranes via juxtaposed electrospinning, overcoming the limitations of traditional electrospinning techniques. Hydrophilic PVP (15% w/v in ethanol with 0.03% DAS) and hydrophobic PCL (15% w/v in chloroform/ N , N ‐dimethylformamide (CF/DMF) 4:1) were employed, with PVP/PCL ratios precisely regulated. The optimal VC‐8/2 (PVP/PCL = 8:2) exhibited excellent performance, featuring a viscosity of 176.5 cp, a smooth, bead‐free morphology prior to swelling (diameter: 718.22 ± 142.96 nm), and a twisted structure post‐swelling (diameter: 268.71 ± 94.21 nm)—all enabled by optimized solvents and juxtaposed electrospinning that eliminated phase separation. Additionally, the VC‐8/2 demonstrated a tensile strength of 1.16 ± 0.10 MPa, an elongation at break of 94.35% ± 5.64%, and a 40% water absorption rate after 12 h. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR‐FTIR) confirmed the successful cross‐linking of PVP, while CCK‐8 assays revealed high L929 cell viability (87.23%–91.44%), exceeding the 85% non‐cytotoxic threshold. These biocompatible membranes integrate the exudate absorption capacity of PVP and the mechanical support of PCL, rendering them highly promising for advanced wound dressing applications.
