The developed hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)/Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposite films were examined for structural property and surface wettability using X-ray diffraction and contact angle measurement. Antibacterial activity of these films was evaluated as a function of ZnO concentration. The microstructuralline parameters ( and (g in %)) decreased with increasing concentration of ZnO nanoparticles and there was increase in hydrophilicity. Addition of ZnO nanoparticles in films resulted in antimicrobial activity against tested microorganisms.
