Abstract

This paper deals with obtaining and characterization of some bioartificial materials based on polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)/hydrolysed collagen (HC) blends. The film samples have been obtained by mixing of the solutions of polyvinyl alcohol and hydrolyzed collagen of 10 wt% concentration in different proportions. By a complex of physico-chemical and structural methods such as DSC, thermogravimetry, IR-spectroscopy etc., the compatibility and interactions between components has been established. On the basis of the obtained data can be concluded that optima compatibility ratios are 95-70 PVA wt %/5 – 30 wt% HC..
