Effect of Thermocycling on the Thermal Degradation Kinetics of Goatskin Collagen Matrices

Abstract:

In the present study, the goatskin collagen matrices were tanned by chrome powder and chestnut extract. The samples were then thermocycled in a container at different temperature ranges with a dwell time of 5 h for different cycles. The thermal degradation behaviors of the collagen matrices before and after the thermocycling were investigated. The Coates-Redfern Method was applied to study the thermal degradation kinetics of different samples. The results indicate that the thermocycling exerted more dramatic effect on the native collagen matrices than on tanned samples. The tanning process endows the samples with extra crosslinking structure, and therefore, less sensitivity to thermocycling treatment. It was found that the thermal treatment at moderate temperature (0~50˚̓˹˰̵̵̵̴͈͂̈́˰̵̼̹̼̈́̈́˰̶̵̵̹̼̳̾̾ͅ˰̿̾˰̸̵̈́˰̸̵̱̼̈́͂̽˰̴̵̷̴̱̱̹͂̈́̿̾˰̱̳̹̱̹̈́͆̈́̿̾˰̵̵̷̵̹̾͂̓˰˸ΔE) of the sample. However, for the samples thermocycled at high upper limit temperature (0~150˚̓˹˼˰ΔE was decreased significantly.
