摘要

Hydrogel has high water content and structural similarity with natural extracellular matrix. So it has been widely studied and applied in the field of biomedicine. In order to further develop multifunctional hydrogels, we prepared mixed gels with anti- ultraviolet properties. This study found that the addition of polysaccharides and polyphenols was beneficial to the rheological, me- chanical properties, and biological activity of the protein. Chitosan (CS) could significantly improve the viscoelasticity, hardness, gel strength, thermal stability and crystallinity of gelatin. Interestingly, the addition of gallic acid (GA) could not only provide significant cross-linking effect, improve gel properties and microstructure, but also improve the UV resistance of the mixed gel.
