Mechanical properties of SP films reinforced with nanoclays.

Sample	TS (MPa)	ε (%)	YM (MPa)
SP	3.73 ± 0.30 ^a	39.45 ± 10.9 ^a	0.179 ± 0.01 ^a
SP0.5MMT-s	3.87 ± 0.32 ^a	61.39 ± 9.6 ^b	0.138 ± 0.02 ^a
SP1.0MMT-s	4.89 ± 0.37 ^b	33.16 ± 7.3 ^a	0.360 ± 0.05 ^b
SP1.5MMT-s	4.75 ± 0.25 ^b	34.54 ± 4.2 ^a	0.328 ± 0.03 ^b

TS: tensile strength, ε: elongation at break, YM: Young’s modulus. a–b Different letters (^a, ^b) in the same column indicate significant differences (p < 0.05). Mean of five replications ± standard deviation.
