TLDR
In this paper, an elastin fraction was obtained during the hydrolysis of bovine ligamentum nuchae and stored for over three years at about 3°C and microscopic examination showed that the texture of the gel depended on the protein concentration, pH and the ionic strength of the buffer solution used to cause swelling.About:

Bundle-like nucleation and longitudinal growth of fibrillar polymer crystals from flowing solutions
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief account of the areas in which fibrillar crystals have been encountered and a mechanism for the formation of bundle-like nuclei and the longitudinal growth of polymer crystals from flowing solutions is provided.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the elastic fiber is a two component system composed of bundles of trypsin-resistant threads of characteristic form and size plus a trypsIn-sensitive, heat-resistant "amorphous" binding matrix.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the intermolecular cross-links in a considerable proportion of foetal elastin are weak and that extraction with aqueous salt solution at pH8.5 would provide optimum conditions for extracting soluble proteins, including solubleElastin if this is present.
