SEM images of SF films with bionic microstructures at 5, 10, 15, and 20 μm, respectively (magnification at ×1000) (a). The maximum loading, ultimate stress (N/mm2), and breaking elongation (%) of SF film groups and native tendon were measured (b). The strain-stress curves of samples in different groups (c). Group N was the native tendon group, group S was the SF film group with a smooth surface, and the other groups were SF film groups with different microstructure sizes (5, 10, 15, and 20 μm). indicates .
