Figure 6
A bar graph showing bending strength and impact strength of different materials, neatPLA, PLA mSCG5, and PLA SCG5, with error bars indicating variance, comparing them across two metrics.The graph presents a comparison of bending strength, measured in megapascals, and impact strength, measured in kilojoules per square meter, for three different materials: neatPLA, PLA mSCG5, and PLA SCG5. The x-axis lists the materials, while the left y-axis indicates bending strength with values ranging from forty to fifty megapascal, and the right y-axis represents impact strength with values ranging from zero to twenty kilojoules per square meter. Bending strength is depicted using solid bars with error bars showing variation. A line graph overlays this with two distinct lines representing impact strength, one denoted by a dashed line for parallel measurement and a solid line for cross measurement, both featuring error indicators. The graph highlights how bending and impact strengths compare across materials, with the appropriate legends and axes labelled for clarity.
