Role of Storage on Changes in the Mechanical Properties of Tendon and Self-Assembled Collagen Fibers

Fibrous collagen networks are the major elements that provide mechanical integrity to tissues; they are composed of fiber forming collagens in combination with proteoglycans (PGs). Using uniaxial tensile tests we have studied the viscoelastic mechanical properties of rat tail tendon (RTT) fibers and...
