Optical and Mechanical Properties of Self-Repairing Pectin Biopolymers

Optical and Mechanical Properties of Self-Repairing Pectin Biopolymers

Pectin’s unique physicochemical properties have been linked to a variety of reparative and regenerative processes in nature. To investigate the effect of water on pectin repair, we used a 5 mm stainless-steel uniaxial load to fracture glass phase pectin films. The fractured gel phase films were plac...
