<![CDATA[The research on fabrication and characterization of high molecular chitosan film with hydrogel gelatin has been successfully conducted. High molecular chitosan was dissolved in a solution of 1% acetic acid and gelatin was dissolved with aquadest at ± 60 ºC. The formed chitosan and gelatin solution was poured into the glass plate glass and then dried in an oven at ± 50ºC for 24 hours. Volume number variations of chitosan and gelatin solution were 25% : 75%, 50% : 50%, 75% : 25%, respectively.The formed chitosan was characterized using tensile test, SEM, and FT-IR analysis. The tensile test results showed that film chitosan with no gelatin was 1.280 Mpa compared to the ratio between chitosan solution and gelatin solution were 25%: 75, 50%: 50%, and 75%: 25% which tensile test results were 2.156, 2.840, and 9.604 Mpa, respectively. The FTIR test also showed the difference between chitosan and chitosan-gelatin film functional groups where the band at 3433.29 cm-1, which indicated N-H groups of chitosan and changed to be OH groups in chitosan-gelatin film at 3653.18 cm-1 bands. This study also found that three films produced a relatively smooth surface and not rough.]]>
