Contribution of Nascent Cohesive Fiber-Fiber Interactions to the Non-Linear Elasticity of Fibrin Networks under Tensile Load

Fibrin is a viscoelastic proteinaceous polymer that determines the deformability and integrity of blood clots and fibrin-based biomaterials in response to biomechanical forces. Here, a previously unnoticed structural mechanism of fibrin clots’ mechanical response to external tensile loads is tested...
