| Dry | Hydrated | PLA | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thickness (μm) | 209.6 ± 33.0 | 303.9 ± 65.3 | 206.0 |
| Breaking load (N) | 1.68 ± 0.37 | 0.31 ± 0.10 | 5.75 |
| Extension at break (mm) | 1.35 ± 0.56 | 2.13 ± 0.61 | 10.91 |
| Young’s modulus (N mm−1) | 3.43 ± 1.09 | 0.21 ± 0.07 | 1.68 |
Note: The data for the PLA multifilaments have been obtained and recalculated from [29] for comparison.
