Fig. 4

Maximum force measured from the retraction curve as a function of varying ratios of water:GFSH solvent for a 0.5 wt%, b 1 wt%, and c 2 wt% HA. Maximum length of sample attachment to the probe before debonding for d 0.5 wt%, e 1 wt%, and f 2 wt% HA, and the adhesion energy obtained from the area under the force vs. displacement curve for g 0.5 wt%, h 1 wt%, and i 2 wt% HA in GFSH. Error bars represent standard deviation. * indicates samples which did not detach from the probe in the experimental window. Legend in panel a applies to all panels.
