Fig. 2: Comparison of mechanical properties of natural blades vs. EcoLeaf.
From: Artificial cellulosic leaf with adjustable enzymatic CO2 sequestration capability
a Natural leaves from Trachycarpus fortune (Tf), Cercis chinensis bunge (CcB), Pyrus ussuriensis (Pu), Zamioculcas zamiifolia engl (ZzE), Holly, and EcoLeaf (EL) respectively; b Stress-strain curves and c Young’s modulus of natural leaves from different sources and EcoLeaf (EL 1 thickness 0.19 mm and density 0.60 g/cm3, EL 2 thickness 0.22 mm and density 0.61 g/cm3) (Parallel experiments with three sets of identical samples, data are presented as mean values +/−SEM).
