Influence of Crosslink Density and Stiffness on Mechanical Properties of Type I Collagen Gel
The mechanical properties of type I collagen gel vary due to different polymerization parameters. In this work, the role of crosslinks in terms of density and stiffness on the macroscopic behavior of collagen gel were investigated through computational modeling. The collagen fiber network was develo...
