β¦ Synopsis
THE theory of drying and swelling of gelatin gels is discussed, and observations are reported which make it more reasonable to believe that a so-called " case-hardening effect " is responsible ior the maintenance of the original shape on swelling and drying. The initial stages of the drying process take place at edges and corners, thus creating a drier, rigid framework which guarantees the shape, and hence, submicroscopic structures inherent in gelatin are unnecessary to account for this phenomenon.

The swelling behaviour and elastic properties of gelatin gels are reported. Ampholytic swelling properties have been investigated. Antipolyelectrolyte performance is observed when gels are swollen in di β erent salt solutions. Swelling behaviour in high salt solutions is di β erent from that in low sa
## Abstract Samples of epichlorohydrin crosslinked potato starch were prepared by using a high ratio of starch to water and alkali concentration below the gelatinization level. This yielded crosslinked samples that were partially crystalline, and where the number of crosslinks could be varied betwe
