What is it about?
The aim of this study was to investigate the criteria for predicting the fracture initiation of resin composites (RCs) at the micro-scale and assess the influence of filler shapes on the flexural properties of RCs by combining nano-CT imaging and in silico multi-scale analysis.

Why is it important?
The in silico multi-scale analysis established in this study demonstrated that RC model containing irregular-shaped fillers had greater flexural strength than RC model loaded with SS fillers, suggesting that the mechanical strength of the RC can be improved by optimizing the shape of the silica fillers.
