ABSTRACT
In biomedical field, a bio adhesive wound-dressing material based on a correct ratio of gelatin (g) and chitosan (cs) was created and successfully applied. A chitosan – gelatin film was created using a solution casting process. When chitosan was combined with gelatin, the amount of water takes up by the film increased. Compared to the chitosan film. In all formulations, glycerol (1 ml) was utilised as a plasticizer. FTIR and XRD were used to test the compatibility of these two biopolymers. For the best wound-healing action, the right ratio of chitosan and gelatin was used. In everyday life, medicinal plants are used to treat a variety of ailments. Extraction of black pepper were used for antibacterial. The best antibacterial properties were found in composite film. As a result of these findings, Chitosan-gelatin bio composites can be employed as a replacement for traditional plastics in the packaging and bio-medical industries.
