Abstract
Collagen and PEG were immiscible and the films obtained from the mixture were fragile with poor mechanical properties. The photochemical stability of the collagen and PEG blend was different from that of the single components. In general collagen/PEG blends are less stable under UV irradiation than pure collagen. The influence of PEG on the photochemical stability of collagen depends on its concentration in the blend. Microscope photographs showed that the surface characteristics of collagen and collagen/PEG blends in film form are not drastically altered after UV irradiation.
