Chitosan-HPMC-methylparaben hydrogel film has been successfully synthesized. Chitosan, a key component with desirable characteristics for the production of hydrogel films, has some shortcomings that can be overcome by adding HPMC, a commonly used gelling agent that improves the physical properties of hydrogel films, and methylparaben, which enhances mechanical properties and antibacterial activity.
