Abstract:
Nanoparticles are disclosed, consisting essentially of an aqueous gelatin gel, wherein the average diameter of the nanoparticles is at the most 350 nm, the polydispersity index of the nanoparticles is less than or equal to 0.15 and wherein a gelatin is used as starting material for the production process. A process for the production of these nanoparticles is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method for producing shaped bodies based on crosslinked gelatin, which may be used as carrier material for tissue implants and have an individually adjustable degradation time, is disclosed, comrising: a) preparing an aqueous gelatin solution; b) partially crosslinking the dissolved gelatin; c) producing a shaped body starting off from the gelatin solution with the partially crosslinked gelatin; and d) crosslinking the gelatin contained in the shaped body.
