Studies of the optical birefringence of solutions of acid-soluble collagen from rat-tail tendon a t 22Β°C in the pH range 1.0-6.0 show that collagen exhibits an isotropic to mesophase transition only between pH 2.4 and 3.0 a t 10% weight concentration. Such liquid crystalline order is probably essent

It is important to obtain information about the collagen fiber orientation in biological fibrous tissues such as human and animal skins because the collagen fiber orientation in the skins may closely relate to the motional functions of the body. However, no reports are yet available on the distribut
The photoinitiated polymerization of 2-chloro-1,4-phenylene bis [4-[6-(acryloyloxy)hexyloxy]benzoate] (1M) was studied. The monomer 1M exhibited a broad nematic phase between 24.9 and 113.7 Β°C on a DSC cooling scan. It was oriented in its nematic phase at a substrate coated with polyimide and unidir
## Abstract Most people are interested in recovery of skin defects caused by burn, scald or trauma from the aesthetic and functional point of view. It will occupy an important role for successful skin graft for patients with such skin defects that the orientation of collagen fibers in the grafted s
Experimental results are presented that support an earlier hypothesis that the bulk diffusion near surfaces is orientation dependent. From a literature study, the calculated surface energy of the (110) surface is higher than that of the (111) surface in fcc crystals, which could lead to different va
