Gelatins

Gelatins is a non-toxic, non carcinogenic, biodegradable, and non irritating natural polymer derived from partial hydrolysis of collagen. Due to its strong liquid absorption and swelling ability, Gelatins has excellent hemostatic properties and can be used as a matrix material for the reduction, growth, and stability of metal nanoparticles. Gelatins can also be used for tumor cell culture and tumor therapy[1][2][3].
