Abstract
Physical and chemical modifications of atelocollagen materials have been carried out to improve their physical, chemical and biological properties. We have studied the influence of physical modification using ultraviolet irradiation and of chemical modification using hexamethylene diisocyanate on the physical properties of layered atelocollagen materials. The study evaluated the structural stability of cross-linked materials using swelling experiments. Influence on mechanical properties is also discussed.
