Abstract

The pore size distribution in collagen fibers was determined using the sorption characteristics of water vapor. Collagen fibers were found to have pores of radius ~55 A and micropore analysis showed that collagen has micropores of radius ~4.5 A. When the noncollagenous components were removed, the ~55 A radius pore was absent and there was a new pore of radius ~75 A. Neither the removal of noncollagenous components nor tanning caused any change in the micropore structure.
