Table 3.

Summarized tensile mechanical test results of PTMO, PTCO, PTO, and S-nitrosated derivatives. All samples were tested in replicate (n ≥ 4) and results are reported as the mean ± standard deviation.

Material	Young’s Modulus^a (MPa)	Elongation at Break^a (%)	Crosslinking Density^b (mol m⁻³)
PTMO (1)	0.6 ± 0.2	300 ± 60	80 ± 22
PTMO–NO (1a)	0.24 ± 0.08	240 ± 60	30 ± 11
PTCO (2)	1.00 ± 0.06	220 ± 24	140 ± 8
PTCO–NO (2a)	1.1 ± 0.1	97 ± 5	150 ± 17
PTO (3)	0.18 ± 0.02	800 ± 54	24 ± 3
PTO–NO (3a)	0.22 ± 0.03	330 ± 37	30 ± 4

Values determined by tensile mechanical tests on a tensiometer with a 50 N load cell.

Values calculated from equation derived from rubber elasticity theory.
