Samples were tested according to ISO14125 for flexural modulus and strength and ISO14130 for apparent interlaminar shear strength.
Fractured Samples were coated with platinum in theSafematic CCU-010 HV Compact Coating Unit (serial number 100331).
Samples were imaged in the Zeiss EVO 15 scanning electron microscope (serial number 8003014386).
