Chitosan and it’s derivatives has varity of advantages likes in industrial and biomedical fields. In recent years,research has been focused on biodegradable films of natural polymers like chitosan,starch,cellulose and etc. Such polymers may be proteins of plant and biological materials. Natural biopolymeric films with tridaxprocumben have potential advantage over the synthetic products since they are totally biodegradable from biological materials. Tridaxprocumbens extract is used for wounds healing as anticoagulant, antifungal and insect repellen. It is well known for application to treat infection and skin diseases in folk medicines,etc. The present study was focused on impregnation of tridax-procumbens extract into chitosan to develop a antimicrobial films. Further, they assessed was for physicochemical properties through x-ray diffraction and flourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy studies and antimicrobial activity.
