Fig. 3: Estimation of stress via FRET of FTSM-CBM-1.

a Plot of the experimental stress and FRET ratio under tensile force. n = 4. b FRET/donor ratiometric images of a fibrous hydrogel at tensile strains of 20% and 80%. c Plot of the experimental stress and FRET ratio under compressive force. n = 4. d FRET/donor ratiometric images of a block hydrogel at compressive strains of 20% and 80%. LUTs were used to measure the stress simulated from FRET-CBM (stress sim). Dashed lines representing the results of the inverse fitting of the stress based on the FTSM-CBM.
