Composite fabricated from starch and different concentrations of clay was prepared by solution casting method. The casted film was irradiated to different gamma irradiation doses 10, 20, 30, and 40 kGy. The dispersion of clay into starch was investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The structural morphology of the composite was measured by scanning electron microscope and infrared spectroscopy. Film properties, such as water vapor transmission, mechanical, and thermal properties were also measured. The gel content and swelling behavior of the starch/clay composite were investigated. It was found that the gel content increases with increasing clay content and irradiation dose. The results obtained indicate that the starch/clay composite showed an increase in the tensile strength, thermal stability. Moreover, there is a decrease in water vapor transmission (WVRT) which improves its barrier properties. Both XRD and infrared spectroscopy showed that starch can be intercalated into the clay galleries. Also antibiotic drug Chlortetracycline HCl was loaded into the starch/clay composite by direct adsorption method. Chlortetracycline HCl adsorption capacity of composite was found to increase from 1.13 to 4.20 mg Chlortetracycline HCl per gram dry film with increasing amount of drug concentration. In vitro drug release studies in different buffer solutions showed that the basic parameters affecting the drug release behavior of the film are pH of the solution, drug concentration, and time.
