Abstract
THE infra-red spectra of collagen and gelatin fibres and of hot- and cold-cast gelatin films have been reported by a number of investigators1–9. No data are evidently available, however, on either collagen or gelatin sols. It was of interest, therefore, in connexion with present work in this laboratory on the physical-chemical properties of ageing connective tissues10 to determine whether or not such spectra could be obtained, especially during the course of the well-known gelatin sol-gel transition.
