Explorative Image Analysis of Methylene Blue Interactions with Gelatin in Polypropylene Nonwoven Fabric Membranes: A Potential Future Tool for the Characterization of the Diffusion Process.

ABSTRACT: This manuscript explores the interaction between methylene blue dye and gelatin within a membrane using spectroscopy and image analysis. Emphasis is placed on methylene blue's unique properties, specifically its ability to oscillate between two distinct resonance states, each with unique light absorption characteristics. Image analysis serves as a tool for examining dye diffusion and absorption. The results indicate a correlation between dye concentrations and membrane thickness. Thinner layers exhibit a consistent dye concentration, implying an even distribution of the dye during the diffusion process. However, thicker layers display varying concentrations at different edges, suggesting the establishment of a diffusion gradient. Moreover, the authors observe an increased concentration of
