  1. Sample was cut into rectangle-shape sheet (0.5 × 2 cm2). A tensile test was performed using a nano universal testing machine, and strain-stress curves were collected for analysis of the mechanical properties of the sheets. Each measurement was repeated at least five times and averaged, reported here with one s.d.
  2. aMethanol-treated aneroin-60K nanofiber sheet.
