Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of filler content, degradation media and time on the mechanical properties of different dental composites after in vitro aging. Materials and Methods Specimens (1 mm3) of three commercially available composites (GrandioSO®, Arabesk Top®, Arabesk Flow®) with respect to their filler content were stored in artificial aging media: artificial saliva, ethanol (60%), lactic acid (pH 5) and citric acid (pH 5). Parameters (Vickers microhardness, compressive strength, elastic modulus, water sorption and solubility) were determined in their initial state (control group, n = 3 for microhardness, n = 5 for the other parameters) and after 14, 30, 90 and 180 days (n = 3 for microhardness, n = 5 for the other parameters for each composite group, time point and media). Specimens were also characterized with dynamic-mechanical-thermal analysis (compression tests, F =  ± 7 N; f = 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz and 3.3 Hz; t = 0–170 °C). Results Incorporation of fillers with more than 80 w% leads to significantly better mechanical properties under static and dynamic compression tests and a better water sorption behavior, even after chemical degradation. The influence of degradation media and time is of subordinate importance for chemical degradation. Conclusion Although the investigated composites have a similar matrix, they showed different degradation behavior. Since dentine and enamel occur only in small layer thickness, a test specimen geometry with very small dimensions is recommended for direct comparison. Moreover, the use of compression tests to determine the mechanical parameters for the development of structure-compatible and functionally adapted composites makes sense as an additional standard. Clinical relevance Preferential use of highly filled composites for occlusal fillings is recommended.

In many technological applications of cork, this biomaterial is under strongly localized contact stresses, which largely differ from the homogeneous distribution of stresses of the typical uniaxial compression tests. Indentation tests constitute an excellent form of determining the behavior of the materials under localized stresses. In the present study, the applicability of Hertzian and Brinell indentation tests to the evaluation of the mechanical properties of cork is tested. One of the main conclusions of the study is that the elastic anisotropy of the material is related to the anisotropic structure of the different sections cut from a cork sample, a clear difference between the back tangential section and the other sections being observed.

Ca3(PO4)2/ZrO2 dental composite ceramics using for CAD/CAM system were prepared and the effects of weak phases on microstructures and mechanical properties were studied. The results showed that intergranular spreads happened with the increasing Ca3(PO4)2 contents due to the discontinuity of weak interfaces between Zirconia and Calcium phosphate in matrix. So the flexural strength and hardness of the Ca3(PO4)2/ZrO2 composite ceramics were decreased effectively, which improved the machinability of the composites. On the other hand, strong interfaces between Zirconias increased the integrality of the ceramic structures. ZrO2 composite Ceramics with 15% Ca3(PO4)2 were sintered at 1350°C. The flexural strength is 300.44MPa, fracture toughness is 4.36 MPam1/2, and hardness is 6.69 GPa. The cutting exponent of the Ca3(PO4)2/ZrO2 composite ceramics is obviously lower than that of the common commercial Vita Mark II and Dicor MGC ceramics, which shows good mechanical properties and machinability.

In order to clarify the relationship between the mechanical properties of synthetic quartz and the electromagnetic phenomena during its fracture, a series of uniaxial compression tests were carried out at quasi-static and dynamic rates. Not only the stress-strain curves but also the output of ferrite-core antenna located close to the specimens were measured in a shield box made of permalloy plates. Since the synthetic quartz has three characteristic axes, i.e. optical axis, electric axis and machine axis, the effect of loading direction on the mechanical properties and electromagnetic phenomena of quarts was also examined. The dynamic compressive strength was greater than those in static tests and there is strain-rate dependence in their strength of synthetic quartz. It was also found that there are not any remarkable differences due to the loading direction with respect to the intensity of electromagnetic waves measured in the dynamic compression tests, i.e. the electromagnetic phenomenon does not depend on the loading direction.

One of the most important aspects of dental resin composites is the ability to improve mechanical properties by adding reinforcing filler particles. TiO2 nanotubes are expected to improve the physical and mechanical properties of silica micro-filled dental composite. Therefore, TiO2 nanotubes were synthesized using an alkaline hydrothermal process and then functionalized with 3-methacryloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane. TiO2 nanotubes were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopies, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Different quantities of TiO2 nanotubes and silica microparticles were reinforced in bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA) and tri-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate to prepare dental composite samples. Thereafter, the flexural strength and modulus, compressive strength, degree of conversion of monomers, wear resistance and water sorption were utlized to examine the prepared composites. The flexural strength and wear resistance of composites with 3 wt% TiO2 nanotubes significantly increased in comparison with other composites. On the other hand, due to the stability of composite, the water sorption was decreased. Therefore, TiO2 nanotubes reinforcement could be a promising solution for the improvement of mechanical properties in dental composites.

This paper proposes a new foaming technology (solid-state foaming) to produce structural foams from waste thermosetting resins. The proposed technology is easy and does not require specific and expensive equipments. Solid tablets are produced by cold compaction of resin powder, and foam by heating in an oven. Composite foams can be produced by mixing fillers and resin powder before the cold compaction. In the experiment, an epoxy-polyester (EP-PE) resin powder, deriving from the waste of a manufacturer of domestic appliances, was used with montmorillonite (MMT) particles. Resulting foams with a filler content ranging from 0 to 10 wt% were characterized in terms of physical and mechanical properties (by compression tests). Although the effect of the MMT content seems to be negative for the adopted resin, the feasibility of producing composite foams by recycling waste industrial powders is shown. The properties of the unfilled foams are sufficient for many industrial applications.

Mathematical modelling and virtual testing of components and structures represent a useful and economic tool for design and safety assessment. The basic mechanical properties which can be found in material standards are not relevant in cases where the real service conditions differ from those applied during standardised testing. Thus e.g. mechanical behaviour at higher strain rates can be interesting for the car components when the simulation of crash situations is used during structure development. The dynamic compression tests are usually performed by means of drop towers, by means of high speed hydraulic testing machines or Hopkinson bar method. At the Mechanical Testing Laboratory of the SKODA Research Inst. in Pilsen, Czech Republic, an instrumentation of Charpy pendulum testing machine was realised in order that it was possible to perfom dynamic compression tests, [1], and the compatibility of obtained results in comparison with traditional impact compression tests was verified within the round–robin carried out by TC5 ESIS Sub-Committee on “Mechanical Testing at Intermediate Strain Rates“, [2]. A new striking tup and load measurement system were designed and callibrated. At the same time, a new software was developed which makes it possible to evaluate the test force-deformation record. The goal of this study was 1. to check the possibility of compression testing of high strength materilas by mens of Charpy pendulum, and 2. to study the strain rate influence on basic mechanical properties.
