Abstract
Caribou sinew specimens exposed to uv radiation, combined with increased temperature and humidity. Ageing was found to decrease the melting point and to increase the glass transition temperature. Tensile strength and pliability decreased with ageing. Treatment to increase pliability is discussed.
