Cover: 1,6-Diisocyanatehexane promoting gelatin crosslinking was studied and exploited to prepare stable gelatin hydrogels supported on textiles. In the picture a gelatine IPN (inset) and the corresponding hydrogel prepared with cotton textile are shown. Further details can be found in the article by M. Bertoldo,* S. Bronco, T. Gragnoli, and F. Ciardelli on page 328.
