FIG. 4. — Dissipated work in loading and unloading curves. (a) and (b) Representative loading and unloading curves for the first cycle at 100% strain for collagen and Matrigel and all studied hybrid gels. Here, the filled area between the loading and unloading curves refer to the calculated dissipated work. (c) and (d) Development of the dissipated work of the first cycle against the maximal strain (c) and against the cycle number at 100% strain (d) exhibits the lower dissipated work in gels with increasing Matrigel concentration.
