Thermal (in)stability of type I collagen fibrils

We measured the Young's modulus at temperatures ranging from 20 to 100 degrees C for a collagen fibril that is taken from a rat's tendon. The hydration change under heating and the damping decrement were measured as well. At physiological temperatures 25 to 45 degrees C, the Young's m...
