Fish Antifreeze Proteins and the Creep of Polycrystalline Ice

Abstract Creep curves obtained from the polycrystalline ice samples containing low concentrations of antifreeze glycopeptides (AFGPs) do not show the re-accelerating or tertiary creep that is found in pure ice samples. Previous work has shown that AFGPs inhibit grain-boundary migration in ice and th...

Description
Summary:Abstract Creep curves obtained from the polycrystalline ice samples containing low concentrations of antifreeze glycopeptides (AFGPs) do not show the re-accelerating or tertiary creep that is found in pure ice samples. Previous work has shown that AFGPs inhibit grain-boundary migration in ice and the present results are consistent with this, as tertiary creep is associated with nucleation and growth of new ice grains.
