In the present work, silver nanoparticle, sodium alginate, chitosan and gelatin are used to form nanocomposite films and films have been prepared for wound healing application. These films have been characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and an antibacterial study of the sample. The dynamic release data were interpreted with various kinetic models. These film has shown remarkable antibacterial property against E.Coli, thus offering their candidature for the application in the near future.
