Dry purified ligamentum nuchae elastin has been investigated for physical aging. The samples were quenched from a temperature (197??C) close to the softening point to a number of measuring temperatures ranging from -20 to +180??C. At each temperature, the small-strain torsional creep properties were determined at a number of elapsed intervals after the quench. Aging effects were found over the whole temperature range, and the creep and aging behavior of elastin turned out to be very similar to that of synthetic polymers.
