Materials And Methods: Fabricated composite films are characterized by FTIR, H NMR, SEM, EDX, contact angle, DMTA, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. The cell viability and morphology of L929 cells are investigated by indirect MTT assay and SEM analysis, and the antibacterial activity of composite film is determined by the disk diffusion method.
