Polymeric blends as potential wound dressing were prepared. Natural polymer (Tannin) and synthetic polymers (PVA and PEG) were used to prepare heterogeneous blends. The product was identified by spectrophotometry. A diaphragm cell was used to measure the diffusion coefficient (D). The result shown the PEG-PVA disk was very faster permeability for all solution. The D of PVA/ PEG-Tannin blend was 0.184x10-3 cm2/s higher than Tannin-PEG blend was 0.038x10-3 cm2/s. The natural phenolic compounds that can be used artificial membrane to inhibit growth or kill microorganism such as bacteria or fungi
