Lap shear testing of sheep skin with modified silk films. A – adhesion at 30 minutes. ANOVA for the group shows no statistically significant differences between groups (p = 0.09 for alpha = 0.05, F = 2.64 and F crit = 3.47); B – adhesion at 90 minutes shows statistical significance between groups (p = 0.09 for alpha = 0.00007, F = 11.11 and F crit = 3.35) with carboxy-SF being more adhesive than the RXN CTRL (TTEST p = 0.09) and the methyl-SF being less adhesive than the RXN CTRL (TTEST p = 0.02).
