Fig. 8From: Semitransparent bandages based on chitosan and extracellular matrix for photochemical tissue bondingColumn representation of the Young’s modulus (logarithmic scale); there was a decrease of stiffness in the wet devices if compared to the dry ones (two-tails unpaired t-test, *p = 7.57E−33, **p = 2.67E−19, ***p = 2.55E−34). The Young’s modulus of the wet bandages was not statistically different from the wet OFM, implying that the bandage stiffness is mostly due to the OFM structureBack to article page
