Increasing Elasticity through Changes in the Secondary Structure of Gelatin by Gelation in a Microsized Lipid Space by Atsushi Sakai (331283)

“…We found that gelation inside a microdroplet covered with lipid membranes increased Young’s modulus <i>E</i> toward a plateau value <i>E</i>* along with a decrease in gel size. In the case of 5.0 wt % gelatin gelled inside a microsized lipid space, the <i>E</i>* for small microgels with <i>R</i> ≤ 50 μm was 10-fold higher (35–39 kPa) than that for the bulk gel (∼3 kPa). …”
