Preparation and Biological Activity of a New Generation of Collagen Materials

Resumo

The properties of a dry soluble collagen preparation and medicinal films prepared from it are reported. The method for preparing the soluble collagen preparation is discussed. The bulk density of the starting collagen and the surface density of its films are estimated. Results from mechanical tests and the relaxation properties of films prepared from solutions of the collagen preparation are presented. Medical and technical requirements for medicinal collagen films are drafted. The assembly of multilayered collagen nanostructures is described. Methods for creating molecularly ordered structures by successive deposition of collagen monolayers on a solid substrate are discussed.
