Figure 8. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of PVA-SF-Coating stents at 5 (left) and 9 (right) days of culture taken at ×30 (top) and
×150 (bottom) magnification. Scale bars: 1 mm (top); 200 µm (bottom). Abbreviations: PVA, polyvinyl alcohol; SF, silk fibroin.
Figure 9. XXX. (a) Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of PVA, PVA-SF (1:1), and PVA-SF-Coating stents (n = 2). (b) Compression test results with
normalized compression force to the weight of each sample, plotted until 50% deformation of the original diameter. The force registered during the
releasing phase is also depicted (n = 6). Abbreviations: PVA, polyvinyl alcohol; SF, silk fibroin.
