✦ Synopsis

Creep behavior of glutaraldehyde-crosslinked gelatin films was evaluated by short-time flexural tests at 30 • C. Samples were characterized by the number-average molecular weight between two crosslinking points, determined by using the Flory-Renher equation. Creep response decreased with increasing degree of crosslinking, which is an indication that crosslinking improves the film stiffness. Experimental creep data were compared with calculated ones by using two different approaches, the creep power-law and the four-parameters model. Good fitting of the experimental results with both models was found, leading to a relationship between the observed creep behavior and the structure of the crosslinked gelatin films. Chemical crosslinkages seemed to induce a decrease of the viscous creep and an enhancement of the elastic contribution.

The present study was carried out in an attempt to make a gelatin film strongly bioadhesive by introducing free dangling aldehyde groups. When gelatin films were treated with 0.5M of glutaraldehyde (GA) solution at 60°C, free aldehyde groups (up to 150 mol/g) were introduced in the film. The bonding

Acrylic monomers were graft copolymerized onto gelatin chains using potassium persulfate in aqueous medium. The graft copolymers were then treated with glutaraldehyde to establish crosslinks between gelatin macromolecules. This yielded a rigid water insoluble protein network sporting grafted chains

Hyaluronic acid (HA) was chemically crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (GA) to produce water-insoluble films having low water contents when brought into contact with water. The crosslinking reaction was performed using uncrosslinked HA films in acetone-water mixtures. This method could produce water-in
