Mechanical characterization polymer blends with silkMA. (A) Representative curves for the uniaxial tensile tests of pHMGCL:PCL-silkMA and top-view photographs of the uniaxial tensile testing setup for pHMGCL:PCL-silkMA: 1, starting point; 2, maximum elastic elongation; 3, plastic (nonelastic) deformation; 4, breaking point (scale bar = 5 mm). (B) Representative curves for the uniaxial tensile tests of pMHMGCL:PCL-silkMA and top-view photographs of the uniaxial tensile testing setup for pMHMGCL:PCL-silkMA: 1, starting point; 2, maximum elastic elongation; 3, plastic (nonelastic) deformation; 4, breaking point (scale bar = 5 mm). (C) Tension modulus calculated on the first and second slope of the curves; values of the stress and the strain at the breaking point for pHMGCL:PCL-silkMA and pMHMGCL:PCL-silkMA scaffolds (n = 6). Significance values: *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001.
