a FT-IR spectra depending on the mechanical loading. Left: LTs with different tensile strains. Right: HT with different compressive strains. b Schematic illustration of the energy dissipation on both sides. c Comparison of the mechanical properties of the inner periosteum with those of other biomaterials22,32,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46 (Table S4).
