*2.5. Tensile Properties*

Rectangular specimens (10 mm × 70 mm) were cut from the fabricated samples and were used for tensile testing following ISO 527-4 to determine tensile modulus, tensile strength and tensile strain at break. All the tests were performed by a universal testing machine (Instron 55R 4502) equipped with a 10 kN load cell using a constant crosshead speed of 50 mm/min at 23 ◦C and 50% RH.
