fiber reinforced composites are widely used instead of traditional materials in various technological applications. therefore, by considering the extensive applications of these materials, a proper knowledge of their impact behavior (from low- to high-velocity) as well as their static behavior is necessary. in order to study the effects of strain rates on the behavior of these materials, specia...

introduction: glass-ionomer cements (gics) are one of the most important dental restorative biomaterials. the aim of this study was to synthesize glass-ionomer‒silk fiber composite and evaluate the effect of adding natural degummed silk fiber on the bioactivity and the ability to release fluoride by glass-ionomer cement. materials and methods: in this study, commercial fuji ii glass-ionomer cem...

With policy management gaining popularity as a means of providing flexible Web security, the number of policy languages being proposed is constantly increasing. We recognize the importance of policies for securing the Web and protecting user information and believe that the future will only bring more policy languages. We do not, however, believe that users should be forced to conform the descr...

the purpose of this ex- vivo study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth, obturated with gutta-percha or resilon and reinforced by either composite resin or fiber post.eighty-four human maxillary incisors were divided into seven groups (n=12). teeth in all groups were prepared until peeso #5 (1.5mm) could be passed through the apex. root ends received 4mm of mta pl...

Volume fraction of fibres (A), aspect ratio of fibres (B) and fibres orientation (C) are considered as control factors in the determination of hardness strength, hardness strength of plantain fiber reinforced polyester composites (PFR P). These properties were determined for plantain empty fruit bunch (PEFB) and plantain pseudo stem (PPS). Hardness tests were conducted on the replicated samples...

applications of thermoplastic composites have developed extensively. the thermoplastic composites in comparison with the thermoset composites have many advantages. thermoplastic composites can be melted and remolded many times. the duration of manufacturing process of these composites is short, producing very tough material, and the welding ability and multiple recyclings are their further adva...

Effect of addition of filler material to the natural fiber composite was experimentally investigated. Composites are manufactured by the conventional hand-layup method. All composites are made with a fixed banana fiber with 15% weight fraction addition of different weight fraction of (0, 3, 5, 7.5%) groundnut shell ash is added to the composite. Tensile, hardness, impact and compressive strengt...

introduction: this in vitro study evaluated the influence of composite thickness (with or without fiber reinforcement) on fracture resistance of direct restorations in endodontically treated teeth. methods and materials: fifty-six intact human premolars were chosen and randomly divided into four groups ( n =14). after preparation of a mesio-occluso-distal (mod) cavities and cusp reduction, the ...
