Abstract

1H spin–lattice relaxation experiments have been performed for gels based on fish collagen in order to analyze water dynamics. The covered frequency range ranges from 10 kHz to 10 MHz; in some cases, the temperature has varied as well. The relaxation data have been reproduced in terms of two models of water motion—a model including two relaxation contributions associated with the diffusion of water molecules on the macromolecular surfaces and a second model being just a phenomenological power law. The concept of surface diffusion has led to a very good agreement with the experimental data and a consistent set of parameters, with the diffusion coefficients being about five orders of magnitude slower compared to bulk water for one of the pools and considerably faster for the second one (smaller by factors between 2 and 20 compared to bulk water). In some cases, the attempt to reproduce the data in terms of a power law has led to a good agreement with the experimental data (the power law factor varying between 0.41 and 0.57); however, in other cases, the discrepancies are significant. This outcome favors the concept of surface diffusion.
