Cytotoxicity Comparison of the Nanoparticles Deposited on Latex Rubber Bands between the Original and Stretched State
Figure 7
SEM images of the “L” ((a), (b), and (c)) and “3L” ((d), (e), and (f)) rubber band inner surfaces. A decrease in the attached particles was observed in the “3L” group. The colored dots on the “Inner-L-Ni” ((g), (h), and (i)) show the presence of nickel nanoparticles on the “L”. However, nickel nanoparticles on the “3L” were not detected (images cannot be obtained). Representative images were shown after the experiments were performed in triplicate.
