Mechanistic insight into the regulation of gelatin hydrogels structure and gel-forming properties by reactive species in plasma-activated water
This study established a refined plasma activated water (PAW) system to distinguish the effects of acidification and H2O2 from the broader effects of PAW-derived reactive species on gelatin gelation. Acidification altered surface charge and resulting in an increased in β-turn content (38.90%) and ionic bonding (15.23%)...
