ABSTRACT

This work demonstrates the preparation of polymeric composite of carboxymethyl cellulose and gelatin incorporated with nanoparticles of calcium and Catharanthus roseus. Carboxymethyl cellulose and gelatin were crosslinked using glutaraldehyde. Calcium nanoparticles have been proved to contain intrinsic antibacterial activity and thus it can also be used in wound healing composites. Catharanthus roseus is an important medicinal plant possessing phytochemicals holding antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antidiabetic and anticancer properties. Several important characterizations such as Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR analysis) and UV-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis) were also performed. Along with this, chemical analysis i.e. Swelling study was also determined. Keywords: Carboxymethyl cellulose, gelatin, calcium nanoparticles, Catharanthus roseus
