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 60Β°C, free aldehyde groups (up to 150 mol/g) were introduced in the film. The bonding

β¦ Synopsis
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 at random. The chemistry of the acrylic monomer decided the hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties of the ultimate product. This paper describes the preparation and properties of such grafted, crosslinked gelatins.

The reversibility of glutaraldehyde crosslinks has been suggested as a reason for failure of long-term bioprosthetic implants. The stability of such crosslinks was investigated in tendons and model compounds. Small but cytotoxic levels of glutaraldehyde were still released from crosslinked tendons e
