Anisotropic swelling due to hydration constrains anisotropic elasticity in biomaterial fibers

Autor: Gouws, Xander A., Mastnak, Ana, Kreplak, Laurent, Rutenberg, Andrew D.

Naturally occurring protein fibers often undergo anisotropic swelling when hydrated. Within a tendon, a hydrated collagen fibril's radius expands by 40% but its length only increases by 5%. The same effect, with a similar relative magnitude, is obser
