Table 2.

The mechanical properties of monofilaments and multifilament yarns prepared under different conditions, including the Ultimate tensile strength (UTS), elongation at break (ε), Young’s modulus (E), and number of replicates (n), are presented. (F – monofilaments, Y – multifilament yarns, pH2/3/4 – pH of the hydrogel, 1.2/0.8 – diameter of the spinning needle, (3/6) – number of grinder passes)
