Abstract
An electron spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA) characterization of films based on collagen-poly(vinylalcohol) blends, cross-linked by dehydrothermal treatment is reported. The semiquantitative analysis i ndicates a remarkable enrichment of collagen in the surface with respe ct to its initial percentage utilized to prepare the blends.
