Abstract: Hydrogels based on gelatin and chitosan were created by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. Carbon Black (CB) is utilised as an ingredient in the production of composite hydrogels. DSC, TGA, FTIR, and XRD were used to characterise the gels that were created. The gels were discovered to have excellent mechanical and thermal characteristics. Swelling experiments were carried out in acidic, neutral, and basic environments and found outstanding results. When the concentration of CB increases tenfold in acidic conditions, at pH 1.2 and 4.0, the percentage swelling increases. However, when the concentration of CB increases, the percentage swelling decreases. Swelling diminishes gradually with increasing CB concentration in neutral and basic mediums at pH 7.0 and 9.0 respectively. Similarly, no trend was found when the content of glutaraldehyde was varied in the acidic medium. However, in neutral and acidic conditions, the percentage of swelling reduces as the content of glutaraldehyde increases from 2 to 8%. In all pH circumstances, the proportion of swelling reduces steadily as the amount of chitosan increases from 0.5 to 1.5%. The gel content was calculated for all gels and ranged from 71 to 85%.
