Cycling stability of a y-rope (TPU) during 100 consecutive twist/release cycles. The normalized GED is measured up to a maximum torsional strain ε = 0.6 at a rotational frequency of 110 rpm. The time dependence of the GED during the first few cycles is shown in the inset. Individual data points are depicted as red solid squares; data are presented as the mean ± s.d. for n = 3 y-rope (TPU) samples. Insets: SEM micrographs of y -rope (TPU) after initial preconditioning cycles and after 100 twist/release cycles.
