Figure 1. Mechanical properties. (A) Flexural strength, (B) elastic modulus, and (C) hardness, vs. filler level for the nano-DCPA-whisker composites. Values for the stress-bearing, non-releasing hybrid control (TPH, Caulk/Dentsply) are also included. Each value is the mean of 6 measurements for strength (mean ± SD; n = 6), and 10 measurements for elastic modulus and hardness (mean ± SD; n = 10), with each error bar showing the standard deviation (SD). Line connects the datapoints for visual clarity.
