Research on Chiral protein membranes: Fabrication of laminated collagen membranes and their optical properties measurements

Abstract

  A novel method for fabricating anisotropic collagen membranes, which regulate the preferred orientation, is developed. The generalized-high accuracy universal polarimeter (G-HAUP) method is used for simultaneous and quantitative evaluations of the optical anisotropy and optical activity. The evaluation of these optical quantities, enabled by the G-HAUP method, is beneficial to the field of tissue engineering.
