Tensile properties of non-functionalized BaSO4 and SA-BaSO4 filled PLLA. (a) Stress-strain curves of the pure PLLA and nanocomposite fibers. (b–d) Mean tensile modulus, strength and elongation at break of the nanocomposites. (n = 10) * indicates a statistically different value of the SA-BaSO4/PLLA compared to the BaSO4/PLLA at the same filler loading, based on one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05). Error bar presents standard deviation.
