Table A5.

Statistical outcomes, Figure 4A,B: E = Young’s modulus, standard deviation (SD), number of samples (n), and p-value (p) of samples compared to the 1.0% alginate sample for control polymers. P-values for CNF (*) are comparisons to the respective dry weight concentrations of alginate (1.30% and 1.75%).
