    Notes: The hydraulic permeability κ of reconstituted collagen hollow-fiber membranes has been determined from measurements of the volumetric flow rate of aqueous solutions through the membrane for various pressure differences across the membrane. Increasing the ultraviolet crosslinking time during manufacture of the membrane markedly decreases κ, whereas decreasing the pH of the aqueous solution increases κ. Applying a tensile strain of only 10% along the fiber axis decreases κ approximately fivefold. These results are in good agreement with those expected from a recent model of the membrane structure in which collagen fibrils, oriented preferentially along the hollow-fiber axis, bend between crosslinks to accept water in a pore structure. If the average fibril volume fraction and diameters are known, estimates can be made of κ. These estimates, based on direct small-angle x-ray scattering measurements of fibril diameters, are in good agreement with the measured κ values.

    Notes: The lateral swelling, changes in length and tensile stress-strain curve of reconstituted collagen hollow fibers, crosslinked with uv irradiation, were measured as a function of the pH and ionic strength of their aqueous environment. From pH 5 to pH 10 the lateral swelling and length are constant; at lower and higher pH the lateral swelling increases rapidly while the fiber shrinks in length. Corresponding to these changes, a pronounced toe develops in the stress-strain curve and extends to a higher strain in more acid (or basic) media. This toe is attributed to the straightening of a microcrimp in the collagen fibrils; the microcrimp is accentuated by the repulsion between the charged fibrils in acid or basic media. Direct small-angle x-ray evidence of these microcrimp structure changes at low pH is presented. Increasing the ionic strength of an acid solution by adding NaCl decreases the lateral swelling, increases the length, and decreases the extent of the toe on the stress-strain curve. These changes result from an increased screening of the charge on neighboring fibrils at higher ionic strengths thus decreasing the repulsion between fibrils and the resulting microcrimp. Although the zigzag elastica model of the crimp developed by Diamant et al. [Proc. Roy. Soc., Ser. B, 180, 293 (1972)] provides a good empirical fit to the stress-strain data, it is shown to be inappropriate where the crimp results from repulsive forces between fibrils. A new model taking these forces into account is developed and is shown to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental results.
