✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Acid‐soluble collagen solution in 0.1 M acetic acid are studied by electrical birefringence. Specific birefringence is independant of concentration (for c < 100 mg/l.) and follows Kerr's law at low fields. Birefringence decays present a single relaxation time, and reversing pulse experiments show a very low contribution of induced moment compared to permanent dipole orientation. This result is also confirmed by birefringence rise measurements.

The electric birefringence of collagen solutions has been measured over a wide range of field strength with the pulse technique. The soluble collagen was from rat tail tendon. The solvent used was dilute acetic acid. Very pronounced saturation of the electric birefringence was observed, permitting c
