In this work, gelatin was chemically cross‐linked using epichlorohydrin. Then, a series of gelatin‐based hydrogel nanocomposites containing CuO nanoparticles were prepared by immersion of gelatin hydrogel in CuCl2 solution with different concentrations. Gelatin was chosen, due to its cheapness, nont...
