Abstract
Gelatin is used as one component in ink receiving layers of some ink jet papers or foils. An important property for this application is the rapid absorption of solvents. We investigated the uptake of water and water diethylene glycol (DEG) mixtures of unsupported films of gelatin as a model system. The kinetics of the swelling properties of different types of gelatin were studied as a function ofpht and DEG content. The influence of additives upon the swelling of gelatin are discussed.
