The diploma thesis deals with the preparation, crosslinking and characterization of collagen films from various animal sources. Collagen from pig, Tilapia, horse, cow and crocodile was used to prepare collagen films. Chemical crosslinking agents EDC/NHS and Lyofix were used to crosslink the prepared films. In the experimental part, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method was optimized to determine the denaturation temperature of individual collagen films before and after crosslinking. In addition, the ability of films to swell and degrade has been analyzed. The presence of characteristic groups present in the collagen structure was verified using infrared spectroscopy. The sample morphology was analyzed using Scanning Electron Cryomicroscopy (Cryo-SEM). The results show that EDC/NHS is a better collagen crosslinking agent compared to Lyofix. The best source for the preparation of thermally stable films is piggy collagen, whose denaturation temperature after crosslinking with EDC/NHS was about 69 °C and could represent more than adequate substitution for cow collagen, which is currently most used in the field of tissue engineering and food industry.
