abstract = {The hierarchical structure of gelatin hydrogels mimics a
natural extracellular matrix and provides an optimized
microenvironment for the growth of 3D structured tissue
analogs. In the presence of metal ions, gelatin hydrogels
exhibit various mechanical properties that are correlated
with the molecular interactions and the hierarchical
structure. The structure and structural response of gelatin
hydrogels to variation of gelatin concentration, pH, or
addition of metal ions are explored by small and very small
angle neutron scattering over broad length scales. The
measurements of the hydrogels reveal the existence of a
two-level structure of colloid-like large clusters and a 3D
cage-like gel network. In the presence of Fe3+ ions the
hydrogels show a highly dense and stiff network, while Ca2+
ions have an opposite effect. The results provide important
structural insight for improvement of the design of gelatin
based hydrogels and are therefore suitable for various
applications.},
