Preparation and characterization of the dialdehyde hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/collagen (DHPMC/COL) solutions

Dialdehyde hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (DHPMC)/Collagen (DHPMC/COL) solutions were prepared with different DHPMC contents (0–70 wt%). According to the viscosimetric method, all samples were compatible. The compatibility was related to Schiff’s base, which formed between the amino groups of collagen and the dialdehyde groups of DHPMC. When DHPMC content increased, the cross-linking degree increased, and the synchronous negative cross-peaks...
