The mechanical tensile properties of photocured samples were assessed using an Instron 3366 (UK) testing system with a 500 N load cell, at crosshead speed of 25 mm/min. The crosshead speed was selected from the range of 10-50 mm/min, as typical for tensile testing of soft connective tissue. The samples were of rectangular: 10 mm in width, 60 mm in length, and 0.5 mm thick. The following parameters were determined: tensile strength (s br ), elongation at break (e br ), and modulus of elasticity (E). The modulus was calculated at 2%-3% and 5%-6% elongation, respectively.
