*Different lowercase superscript letters in the same row show statistically significant differences (P<0.05) in elastic constant as a function of differences in total wax concentration, while uppercase superscript letters in the same column represent statistical differences (P<0.05) in the elastic constant between wax ratios at a fixed concentration.
