Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The nanostructure of the fibrin fibers in fibrin clots is investigated by using spectrometry and small angle x-ray scattering measurements. First, an autocoherent analysis of the visible light spectra transmitted through formed clots is demonstrated to provide robust measurements of both the radius and density of the fibrin fibers. This method is validated via comparison with existing small-angle and dynamic light-scattering data. The complementary use of small angle x-ray scattering spectra and light spectrometry unambiguously shows the disjointed nature of the fibrin fibers. Indeed, under quasiphysiological conditions, the fibers are approximately one-half as dense as their crystalline fiber counterparts. Further, although the fibers are locally crystalline, they appear to possess a lateral fractal structure. |
