Piezoelectric properties of aligned collagen membranes [PDF]
AbstractElectromechanical coupling, a phenomenon present in collagenous materials, may influence cell–extracellular matrix interactions. Here, electromechanical coupling has been investigated via piezoresponse force microscopy in transparent and opaque membranes consisting of helical‐like arrays of aligned type I collagen fibrils self‐assembled from ...
