SEM was performed to measure the surface morphology, size of filler, and filler distribution of the control and experimental samples with an SEM machine (TESCAN VEGA-3 LMU, Brno, Czech Republic) with an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analytical system (Oxford Instruments, Abingdon, UK). Specimens were gold-coated in a gold sputter coater (QUORUM Technologies, Lewes, UK) with a voltage of 20 kV and a magnification of 1500–5000× to study the nanostructure.

The Gold Sputter Coater is a laboratory equipment used to deposit a thin layer of gold onto the surface of a sample. It is a commonly used tool in various scientific and research applications, such as electron microscopy, where a conductive coating is required to enhance the sample's surface properties for analysis.

The surface morphology of set injectable F-BG samples (at 21°C with and without ultrasonic scalar) was examined using a Scanning Electron Microscope (VEGA-3 LMU, TESCAN, Brno, Czech Republic). Before the scanning procedure, the sample was gold coated in a gold sputter coater (QUORUM Technologies, Lewes, UK) for 90 s. Images were taken in different magnifications and were operated at an accelerated voltage of 20 kV. The particle size and pore size were measured using the ImageJ software (Image J Launcher; https://imagej.net/Launcher).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
