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

Figure 5

SEM images of the “L” and “3L” rubber band inner and outer surfaces. The deposited particles of the “L” group were reduced in the “3L” group on the inner surface. However, on the outer surface, there were few attached particles in both the “L” and “3L” groups compared with the inner surface, and a crevice was detected in the “3L” group. Representative images were shown after the experiments were performed in triplicate.
