Abstract
Gelatin gel with a gradient structure was produced by a vapour crosslinking procedure. The crosslinking degree at various depths (distance from plate surface) and its gradient are dependent on the crosslinking time and vapour temperature. The experimental data indicate that the gelatin gel with a gr adient structure does not follow a second-order swelling kinetics. The diss olution rare can also be regulated by crosslinking time and vapour temperat ure. (C) 2000 Society of Chemical Industry.
