Improving the mechanical and thermal properties of gelatin hydrogels cross-linked by cellulose nanowhiskers

TL;DR: Rheological measurements confirmed a 150% improvement in storage modulus (G') of the cross-linked hydrogels compared to neat gelatin and increased the resistance of the gels towards thermal degradation above the melting temperature of gelatin as observed by thermal scanning experiments.
