The specimens were prepared by mixing silica nanoparticles with PMMA powder in a vacuum mixer. Then, the specimens were mixed with a diluent liquid (TEGDMA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. For each of the five weight percentages, 36 samples were produced. The 18 specimens in each group were randomly divided into six subgroups of pH levels. The specimens were kept in containers of liquid at different pH levels at room temperature for 1 week. Their before\u2010 and after\u2010storage weights were recorded to calculate moisture absorption. The fracture resistance test was performed (ASTM D5045 standard) using the three\u2010point bending method. Scanning electron microscopy was performed.
