The physicochemical property of shark type I collagen gel and membrane.
The physicochemical properties of shark type I collagen gel and membrane were not same as those of pig type I collagen. The denaturation temperature of shark collagen gel was about 15 degrees C lower. According to scanning electronic micrography, the diameter of shark collagen fibril was relatively thin and more homogeneous. The breaking strength of shark collagen gel was greater, and shark collagen membrane had a greater mechanical strength and a higher water vapor sorption.
