Tensile Elasticity experiment results (top). From left to right: TE experiment setup, stress vs strain graph with 5%–20% strain region highlighted, tensile modulus (slope) between 5 and 20% strain range. Data are presented as mean values and the error bars where shaded regions represent the standard deviation (± σ). Compressive Elasticity results (middle). From left to right: CE experiment setup in 3D illustration and the cross-section, stress vs strain graph of all specimens, with 10% strain highlighted, stress vs pressure graph of specimens at 10% strain. Volumetric Elasticity results (bottom). From left to right: VE experiment setup in 3D illustration and the cross-section, stress vs strain graph of silicone specimens with 5% strain highlighted, stress vs pressure graph of specimens at 5% strain. The data in bar charts are presented as mean values ± SD where applicable. The individual data points of each independent experiment (\(n=3\)) were presented as overlayed on the bar charts.
