*2.11. Tensile Testing*

Tensile properties of the electrospun scaffolds were tested by using an Instron 4467 universal testing machine (Instron, Norwood, MA, USA). Prior to uniaxial tensile testing, the electrospun fibrous sheets were cut into rectangular shapes (50 mm × 10 mm). Samples were secured between opposing clamps which were approximately 30 mm apart from each other. For tensile testing, samples were stretched until failure at 10 mm/min.
