| Abstract: | In this work, glyoxal (Glox) - crosslinked gelatin (Gel) films have been loaded with aniline molecules, followed by their in-situ oxidative polymerization to yield Gel/poly(Ani) composite films. The films, so prepared, have been characterized by FTIR, XRD, TGA and AFM analysis. The water absorption of these films has been studied in the physiological fluid of pH 7.4 at 37°C.The dynamic water uptake data has been interpreted by various kinetic models such as power function model and Schott kinetic model. The various diffusion coefficients have also been evaluated. |
