%X <p>This dataset contains data collected during investigation of hydrogels based on natural polymers (gelatin, sodium alginate), as part of the research project "Gelatin-alginate hydrogels for hard-to-heal wounds". The purpose of these experiments was to determine the chemical composition and the distribution of elements in samples of hydrogels saturated with an antiseptic (chlorhexidine digluconate).</p><p>Prior to structure determination, micrographs were collected on several lyophilized hydrogel films with a JEOL JSM-6510LV scanning electron microscope (SEM). To obtain high quality micrographs, a thin gold film was sputtered with a JEOL JFC 1200 fine coater on samples randomly spread on a carbon tape. An OXFORD Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer (EDS) coupled to the microscope was employed to verify the presence of Cl, Na, O, C and N elements and their spatial distributions within the crystals. The distribution of these elements is homogeneous, as shown in EDS elemental maps.</p>
