New Dimension of Gelatin – Success of Scientists from Gdańsk University of Technology, UniLodz and the Léon Brillouin Laboratory in Saclay

We’re proud to share!

Our scientists (mgr Grzegorz Kowalski, Dr Karolina Kwaczyński and dr hab. Łukasz Półtorak, Associate Professor at the University of Lodz) are co-authors of research published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials. The project is led by Dr Tomasz Swebocki, Associate Professor at Gdańsk University of Technology.

The researchers investigated eutectogels by combining gelatin with natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES), such as reline (a mixture of choline chloride and urea) and glyceline (a mixture of choline chloride and glycerol). The result? Gels that exhibit no cytotoxicity toward epidermal cells while being lethal to bacteria.

This work presents a new material combined with an innovative physico-chemical research methodology (based on 3D printing, electrochemistry, and a range of other measurement techniques), enabling the evaluation of the material in terms of the controlled release of substances entrapped within the hydrogel structure.
