Figure 9


Fig. 9. (A) Young's modulus plotted against the previous strain cycle value for each pH treatment. Threads treated at pH 5 and below show a pH-induced reduction in modulus that becomes less prominent as the thread is cycled to higher strain values. (B) Reduction in modulus ({Delta}E) between strain cycles in Fig. 9A plotted against the strain that caused it for each of the pH treatments. Asterisks indicate where {Delta}E at pH 5 is significantly different from {Delta}E at pH 8 (P<0.01). Values are means ± s.e.m.; N ranged from 6 to 10 threads for each treatment.
