Transdermal films of aceclofenac using chitosan, modified chitosan, HPMC, and sodium alginate were developed by solvent casting technique and evaluated with respect to various physical parameters. As a plasticizer, glycerin was utilized in a variety of weight ratios. The article also discusses conjugating chitosan with thioglycolic acid and the modification of chitosan with acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde, respectively for creating Schiff's bases (polymers-I and II). Modification and compatibility were confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and FTIR analysis respectively. The produced films were assessed for a number of characteristics, including thickness, folding resistance, swelling index, bursting strength, tensile strength, moisture content, water vapour transfer (WVT) rate, and in vitro drug permeation studies. All of the formulations for physical and mechanical characterization were observed, and it was found that the formulations produced the best results and the membranes were stable
