Table 4.
Mechanical parameters and disintegration time of 3D-printed ODFs.
| Film | Puncture Strength (MPa ± SD) |
Elongation (% ± SD) |
Young’s Modulus (MPa ± SD) |
Disintegration Time (s ± SD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| E5 | 2.78 ± 0.37 a | 6.36 ± 0.78 a | 216.65 ± 22.57 a | ND |
| E5-PT | ND | ND | ND | ND |
| E5-PT-PG | ND | ND | ND | ND |
| E5-PT-G | 0.32 ± 0.04 b | 0.44 ± 0.04 b | 46.97 ± 2.93 b | 5.51 ± 1.10 a |
| E15 | 2.38 ± 0.35 c | 9.37 ± 1.47 c | 316.14 ± 25.93 c | ND |
| E15-PT | 0.38 ± 0.01 b | 0.64 ± 0.02 b | 44.16 ± 1.89 b | 3.39 ± 0.67 b |
| E15-PT-PG | 0.29 ± 0.04 b | 0.81 ± 0.16 b | 27.78 ± 3.55 b | 3.81 ± 1.33 b |
| E15-PT-G | 0.33 ± 0.02 b | 1.11 ± 0.34 b | 27.16 ± 3.54 b | 3.56 ± 1.20 b |
Note: ND (not determined) means films cannot be performed for E5-PT and E5-PT-PG ODFs, and the disintegration time of control E5 andE15 ODFs were not evaluated. For each test, means with the same letter are not significantly different. Thus, means with different letters, e.g., ‘a’ or ‘b’ are statistically different (p < 0.05).
