Figure 2. Characterization of nanoclay-organic bone sealant (NoBS).

Figure 2.

A) Compressive modulus of oBS and NoBSs with various amounts of NCs in the presence or absence of SAG (10 μM). B) Swelling ratios of oBS and NoBSs with various amounts of NCs at the presence or absence of SAG (10 μM). C) Equilibrium water contents of oBS and NoBSs with various amounts of NCs at the presence or absence of SAG (10 μM). D) Residual weight of oBS and NoBSs in the presence of 0.5 and 1.0% of NCs with or without 10 μM of SAG in PBS at 37 °C for 6 weeks. Error bars indicate standard deviation (n = 3), *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 (ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test). E) SEM images and F) EDX spectra of oBS and NoBSs with various amounts of NCs at the presence or absence of SAG (10 μM). Scale bar indicates 50 μm in E).
