Reviewer 2 Report
Dear authors,
I really appreciated reading your manuscript.
I have only few remarks.
Figures: In some figures (f.e. 6,7, 9) "copied" from the cited paper it is necessary to extend the legend. There are for example in Figure 7 capital letters indicating whether within group comparisons are significant and small letters indicating whether there are significant differences between the materials.
It would be very helpful for the reader to know which letters indicate what. This applies to all figures.
Although many papers have already been mentioned, I believe that the following references would at least partially enrich the article.
