Force spectroscopy of collagen fibers to investigate their mechanical properties and structural organization

Georg Fantner

Journal paper

Abstract

Tendons are composed of collagen and other molecules in a highly organized hierarchical assembly, leading to extraordinary mechanical properties. To probe the cross-links on the lower level of organization, we used a cantilever to pull substructures out of the assembly. Advanced force probe technology, using small cantilevers (length
