In this investigation we studied the polymer films formed of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), both polymers readily available, and the synthetic first and second semi-synthetic. The films were prepared by evaporation of the solvent method and crosslinked with citric acid (CA) in order to improve their hydrophobicity characteristics. The crosslinked films and uncrosslinked were characterized via swelling measurements, the solubility and permeability to water vapors for testing the barrier properties of the films. In addition to these, antimicrobial activity assays were performed, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravimetric analysis and spectroscopy in the infrared region. Infrared spectra suggested the formation of the blend by displacement of bands and showed that the crosslinking process occurred. Crosslinked films showed better results in relation to the water barrier properties (solubility, swelling and permeability) compared to films not lattices, results as they were, in fact, expected some time crosslinking rearranges the polymer chains in order to hinder the passage of water molecules and control the passage of smaller molecules. Thermal degradation analysis showed that the stability of the films was affected by the presence of citric acid crosslinking agent so that crosslinked films with higher concentrations of BC had greater stability of the thermal point of view. The SEM of the films showed a smooth and homogeneous surface without phase separation of blends and no porosities. The antimicrobial activity performed with strains of S. aureus, S. epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and C. topicalis showed that no film inhibition activity on the growth of microorganisms. Besides characterization was carried out applying the transdermal films for controlled drug release, which we evaluated the release kinetics of acetaminophen and drugs fluconazole crosslinked films 20 and 30% citric acid. The results of controlled drug release showed that the film exhibited different behaviors across the control release so that the blends presented model release of zero order, carboxymethylcellulose films to uncontrolled release and PVA films were able to maintain a concentration drug constant in the receiving environment after 12 hours of testing.
