This study investigated the influence of xanthohumol and propanediol on the properties of collagen films before and after UV irradiation. The results showed that these additives modified the surface and mechanical properties of the collagen films and reduced water loss after UV irradiation.
Fish skin collagen films are widely used as adhesives in medicine and cosmetology. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation can be considered as an effective sterilization method for biomaterials, however, it may also lead to material photodegradation. In this work, the influence of xanthohumol and propanediol on the physico-chemical prop-erties of collagen films before and after UV irradiation was studied.Collagen for this research was extracted from silver carp skin and thin films were fabricated by the solution casting methods.The structure of films was researched using infrared spectroscopy. The surface properties of films were investigated using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements. Mechanical properties were measured as well. It was found that the addition of xanthohumol and propanediol modified the roughness of collagen films and their mechanical properties. UV irradiation led to the water loss from the film and modification of the collagen structure.In the presence of propanediol and xanthohumol the water loss after UV irradiation was smaller than in UV -irradiated collagen films without these additives.
