Bioartificial polymeric materials based on collagen and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

Films of collagen (CLG) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAAm, were prepared by casting from water solutions. These bioartificial polymeric materials were studied to examine the influence of PNIPAAm content and glutaraldehyde vapor cross-linking on the thermal and biological stability of CLG. Mix...
