摘要：

The effects of two levels of hydration on microhardness and Young's modulus was determined on samples of claw keratin from six ostriches. Young's modulus was calculated from the initial, steepest portion of the stress-strain curve. Specimens were conditioned in the same way as those for microhardness testing. The average water content of ostrich claw keratin was determined by conditioning four samples of keratin in the same way as were the test specimens and measuring mass lost after drying to constant mass at 105 C.
