Fibrils were self-assembled in vitro from collagen molecules by controlling the pH and temperature of purified collagen solution. The reconstituted fibrils were stretched to failure. The diameter of the fibrils was 367±24 nm (Mean±S.E., n=7). The tensile strength, strain at failure, and tangent modulus of the fibrils were 77.9±28.4 MPa, 38.7±7.6 %, 188±37 MPa, respectively.
