Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical and thermal properties of gelatin films at different degrees of glutaraldehyde crosslinking.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the use of GTA at low concentration, which is desiderable to prevent toxicity, allows to modulate the physico-chemical properties of gelatin films, in order to obtain stable materials with a wide range of possible biomedical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stabilization of gelatin films by crosslinking with genipin.
TL;DR: The mechanical, thermal and swelling properties of the films are very close to those previously obtained for glutaraldehyde crosslinked gelatin, and suggest that genipin, which is by far less cytotoxic, can be considered a valid alternative for crosslinking gelatin biomaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between triple-helix content and mechanical properties of gelatin films.
TL;DR: It was verified that the triple-helix content, calculated from the values of the enthalpy of denaturation associated to the endothermal transition at about 41 degrees C of gelatin, increases with the Bloom index, and these data are further supported by the results of the X-ray diffraction investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bonelike apatite growth on hydroxyapatite–gelatin sponges from simulated body fluid
TL;DR: In vitro bioactivity of gelatin sponges and hydroxyapatite-enriched gelatinSponges was tested through evaluation of the variations in their composition and morphology after soaking in simulated body fluid for periods up to 21 days at 37 degrees C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanochemical preparation of hydrogen-bonded adducts between the diamine 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and dicarboxylic acids of variable chain length: An X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR study

TL;DR: The carbon chemical shift tensors of the COOH group obtained from the sideband intensity of low speed spinning NMR spectra provide a reliable criterion for assigning the protonation state of the adducts.
