Elastin as a kinetic elastomer : an analysis of its conformational, mechanical, and photoelastic properties

The elastic tissue composite is made up of a number of materials that are characterized by different chemical and mechanical properties. The protein elastomer elastin makes up almost 80% of bovine ligamentum nuchae with collagen and the matrix substances making up the other 20%. The analysis of the...
