Scientists at the M.V. Lomonosov Institute of Fine Chemical Technologies (RTU MIREA) have developed a new hydrogel based on gelatin. This material may find application in flexible medical electronics, bioengineering, and other fields.
Hydrogels are three-dimensional polymer structures. They can absorb water while maintaining their shape. The new material has important properties such as self-healing, the ability to reproduce complex geometric shapes, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity.
Gelatin type B was chosen for the work, characterized by a low bloom level (from English Bloom, this is a test to measure the strength of the gel. The choice was also made in favor of type B gelatin due to its minimal tendency to form toxins, which expands the possibilities of its use in medical applications.
3-Isocyanatopropyl triethoxysilane (ICPTES) was used as a modifier in the new hydrogel to create a biocompatible structure. The new material is suitable for use as a membrane for medical sensors.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that in Novosibirsk they created the first Russian sample of a graphene sensor.
