Cytotoxicity Comparison of the Nanoparticles Deposited on Latex Rubber Bands between the Original and Stretched State

Figure 1

L929 cell viability following exposure to the extracts from the “3L” and “L” latex rubber bands of the Giant Panda (GP), Unitek (UN), and Extream (EX) extracts. The following dilutions were used: (a) 50%, (b) 25%, (c) 12.5%, and (d) 6.25%. The difference in the cell viability was statistically determined under a few experimental conditions (, , ; between the “3L” and “L” extracts of each evaluated product). L: original length, 3L: stretched to three times its length. Representative results are shown after the experiments were performed in triplicate.
