a Stress−strain curves of MIN-4 and control with a deformation rate of 100 mm/min. b Tensile test curves of MIN-4 with different deformation rates from 1 to 1000 mm/min. c Deformation rate dependence of MIN-4 on maximum stress, Young’s modulus, and fracture strain. d Cyclic tensile test curves of MIN-4 and control under applied strain of 100% with the deformation rate of 100 mm/min. e Energy dissipation and damping capacity of MIN-4 and control calculated based on their cyclic tensile curves. f Puncture force−displacement curves of MIN-4 and control. The puncture tests were conducted by puncturing the films with a sharp toothpick driven by an electronic universal testing machine.
