Mechanical and physical characterization of acrylic–curli composites. (a) Stress–strain curves for acrylic and acrylic–curli composites in the dry and hydrated states. (b) Percentage loss of curli fibers from acrylic–curli composites in the presence of various chemical reagents over 10 days. (c) Water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) of acrylic and acrylic–curli composites at room temperature and human body temperature. (d) Water absorption ratios of acrylic and acrylic–curli composites at room temperature and human body temperature.
