Abstract

The tensile force‐contraction characteristics of cross‐linked reconstituted collagen fibers have been studied for 30 different water‐soluble reagents. The data were obtained via a “polytonic” loading technique, which was neither isometric nor isotonic. Certain data were found to fit a master curve, which did not depend strongly on the denaturant. For many denaturants the contractile force appeared to be a maximum at a denaturant concentration corresponding to all the solvent being consumed in denaturant hydration. Also, the maximum contractile force appeared to vary in the same manner as does the hydration number of the individual cations and anions in the solution (i.e., H > Li > Na > K, and I > Br > Cl > F). Several denaturants were found to be as effective as the well‐known LiBr and KSCN in contracting the collagen.
