Chemical cross-linking of gelatin is achieved using a thermosensitive reactive copolymer based on N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM). The copolymer bears 5 mol % acrylic acid units which form amide bonds with the amino groups of gelatin in the presence of a water-soluble carbodiimide. The cross-linking r
