Cytotoxicity Comparison of the Nanoparticles Deposited on Latex Rubber Bands between the Original and Stretched State
Figure 6
SEM images and elemental analysis using EDS from the (a) “L” and (b) “3L” rubber band inner surface. The left headed white arrow and the right headed arrow with a rectangle indicate the microsized particles and the nanosized particles, respectively. A decrease in the microsized particles (~30 μm) and a disappearance of the nickel nanosize particles (~50 nm) were observed in the Inner-3L. Representative images were shown after the experiments were performed in triplicate.
