Purified elastin was examined by means of dynamic and static mechanical testing, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and a study performed of its swelling characteristics and density in various solvents. Purification of the material was effected by a combination of auto-claving and solvent extraction and the method investigated for suitability by gravimetric analysis, chemical testing and scanning electron microscopy. Investigation of previously reported mechanocalorimetric experiments on elastin (one of the major foundations of the globular theory of elastin structure) revealed a misinterpretation in the results and a re-interpretation could be made which fully supported the concept of elastin as an amorphous elastomer. This re-...
