Summary of mechanical properties for Study 1 as a function of glutaraldehyde concentration. μeq = equilibrium friction coefficient; tμ = time constant for the rise of the friction coefficient to its equilibrium value; μmin = minimum friction coefficient, typically achieved at the earliest time point of the friction response; E−Y = equilibrium compressive modulus; E+Y = equilibrium tensile modulus; k = hydraulic permeability. Significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) from native day 0 values indicated with †, differences between groups indicated with *.
