Abstract

A model has been developed in the current study, which relates the extent of shrinkage to the progress of collagen denaturation. The model includes the cases of shrinkage of the samples of the pericardium under isothermal conditions and the case of shrinkage under constant load and heating. The kinetic parameters, determined from the isothermal shrinkage experiments, are the activation energy, E = 565.95 kJ/mol and the frequency factor, A = 8.64 × 10 sec . The current model fits the isothermal and the non-isothermal cases satisfactorily. A limitation of the model is its inability to describe the initial slow region at low temperatures. It cannot be modeled or fitted well because the model describes the progress of the shrinkage as one single exponential step.
