Rate of fluoride release per hour per specimen surface area (µg/h·cm2) from nanocomposite containing mass fractions of 25% whiskers, 20% CaF2 and 20% DCPA. Each value is mean ± sd; n = 3. The initial release rate was nearly 2 µg/(h·cm2). It decreased to 0.50 µg/(h·cm2) after 500 hours, and 0.29 µg/(h·cm2) after 1680 hours (10 weeks).
