Mechanical properties of the supporting scaffold. (a) Varying ratios of SE1700 to the catalyst (For I~IV, the ratios were 10:1, 10:0.6, 10:0.5, and 10:0.3, respectively; their wall thicknesses were the same, i.e., approximately 250 μm. For V~VII, the wall thicknesses were different—250 μm, 200 μm, and 150 μm, respectively—and their ratios of SE1700 to the catalyst were the same—10:0.6 μm). (Scale bar: 5 mm). (b) Load and tensile displacement curves of the samples (I~VII). (c) Mean values for the static elastic modulus, with the number of measurements (specimens) shown in brackets [36].
