Composite materials are widely used in the dental field in clinics as biomaterials. For example, it has been used as a biomaterial to repair caries and restore masticatory function, and as a cement to adhere the restoration to the tooth substrate. In order to demonstrate its function, dental biomaterials are measured their mechanical strength. From such basic research, we explained the potential of dental biomaterials, especially flexural strength and modulus of elasticity. Mechanical properties of dental biomaterials similar to those of the tooth, thermal stimulation, and aesthetic elements in the oral cavity. In this part, we will introduce the commercialized products of composites suitable for the characteristics and tooth quality, and provide the reader with the characteristics from the flexural characteristics of the composite materials used in clinical dentistry. In clinical performance, it might be advisable to delay polishing when composite biomaterials are used for luting materials, filling materials and core build-up materials since improved the flexural strength and the flexural modulus of elasticity were displayed after 1-day storage. And it is thought that flexural strength or characteristics is a significant important mechanical property of oral biomaterials.

Reinforcement was performed to epoxy resin by CaCO3 whisker, and the effect of flexural property of CaCO3 whisker reinforced composite materials was studied. The microstructures of the composite materials were observed by SEM. The results showed that the flexural strength of the composites increased with increasing CaCO3 whisker content, and the flexural strength reached to the maximum value when CaCO3 whisker content was about 15wt.%, and the maximum value was about 11% higher than that of pure epoxy resin. But, the strength would drop sharply with the excessive CaCO3 whisker.

Sustainable utilisation of solid waste has been influenced by the increasing population of the world. Benefits of using solid waste based on natural fibre in polymer material are biodegradability and cost effectiveness. In poultry farms, chicken poultry, one of the slaughterhouse wastes is confronted with 30 106 kg of waste per year in Turkey. The evaluation of this waste, which is quite rich in keratin, is extremely important both for the solution of the waste problem and for maintaining a clean environment, bringing this valuable material to the economy. These fibres are stable, durable and biodegradable because they have a crystalline structure. However, this valuable waste will have a positive effect when used together with boron minerals, which both increase the mechanical properties, flame retardancy and biodegradation of composite material. In this study, it is the aim to manufacture superior polyester-based composite materials reinforced with three kinds of boron minerals, such as boron oxide, borax pentahydrate, borax decahydrate and fibres recycled from waste chicken feathers. The effect of different filling ratios of filling materials on the mechanical and physical properties of composite materials was examined. Flame retardancy properties of the composites with best mechanical results were investigated. After pouring by means of the pre-casting process, the water absorption and swelling thickness of final products, as well as density, bending strength, flexural modulus, limiting oxygen index, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscope analysis, was performed. Mixing prescriptions and conditions with the best properties were determined.

The aim of this study was to study the effect of curing period and cement content of the specimen on flexural strength and flexural modulus of elasticity of cement stabilized aggregate. Four specimen curing periods (7 d, 14 d, 28 d and 60 d) and four different cement contents (4%, 5%, 6% and 7%) were used. The results indicate that the flexural strength and flexural modulus of elasticity of cement stabilized aggregate are increasing with the increase of specimen curing period. Besides, with the increase of cement content, there is a tendency to increase both in the flexural strength and flexural modulus of elasticity of cement stabilized aggregate. The actual cement content should be chosen according to the actual condition of the project.

SUMMARY The study aimed to assess the mechanical performance of seven bulk-fill RBCs (Venus Bulk Fill, Heraeus Kulzer; SureFil SDR flow, Dentsply Caulk; x-tra base and x-tra fil, VOCO; Filtek Bulk Fill, 3M ESPE; SonicFill, Kerr; Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill, Ivoclar Vivadent) by determining their flexural strength (σ), reliability (Weibull parameter, m), flexural modulus (Eflexural), indentation modulus (YHU), Vickers hardness (HV), and creep (Cr). The significant highest flexural strengths were measured for SonicFill, x-tra base, and x-tra fil, while x-tra base, SureFil SDR flow, and Venus Bulk Fill showed the best reliability. The differences among the materials became more evident in terms of Eflexural and YHU, with x-tra fil achieving the highest values, while Filtek Bulk Fill and Venus Bulk Fill achieved the lowest. The enlarged depth of cure in bulk-fill RBCs seems to have been realized by enhancing the materials' translucency through decreasing the filler amount and increasing the filler size. The manufacturer's recommendation to finish a bulk-fill RBC restoration by adding a capping layer made of regular RBCs is an imperative necessity, since the modulus of elasticity and hardness of certain materials (SureFil SDR flow, Venus Bulk Fill, and Filtek Bulk Fill) were considerably below the mean values measured in regular nanohybrid and microhybrid RBCs. The class of bulk-fill RBCs revealed similar flexural strength values as the class of nanohybrid and microhybrid RBCs, and significantly higher values when compared to flowable RBCs. The modulus of elasticity (Eflexural), the indentation modulus (YHU), and the Vickers hardness (HV) classify the bulk-fill RBCs as between the hybrid RBCs and the flowable RBCs; in terms of creep, bulk-fill and the flowable RBCs perform similarly, both showing a significantly lower creep resistance when compared to the nanohybrid and microhybrid RBCs.

AbstractThis paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the combined effect of nano-SiO2 particles and steel fibers on flexural properties of concrete composites containing fly ash. In this study, five different nano-SiO2 contents (1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 9%) and five different steel fiber contents (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%) were used. The results indicate that addition of nano-SiO2 and steel fibers decreases the workability of the concrete composites containing fly ash, and both the slump and slump flow decrease gradually with the increase in nano-SiO2 and steel fiber content. Besides, the addition of nano-SiO2 can greatly increase the flexural strength and flexural modulus of elasticity of concrete composites containing fly ash. There is a tendency for the increase in the flexural strength flexural modulus of elasticity with an increase in the nano-SiO2 content when the nano-SiO2 content is below 5%, while both of the two flexural parameters begin to decrease after the nano-SiO2 content above 5%. Furthermore, steel fibers have great improvement on the flexural properties of concrete composites containing fly ash and nano-particles. The flexural strength and flexural modulus of elasticity of concrete composites containing fly ash and nano-SiO2 are more than those of the concrete composite without steel fibers. Both of the two flexural parameters increase with the increase in steel fiber content when the steel fiber content is below 2%, while the flexural parameters begin to decrease after the steel fiber content is above 2%.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop resin composite materials composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) acrylates and hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles for ultraviolet digital light projection (DLP) three-dimensional (3D) printing technique. Design/methodology/approach Two PCL-based triacrylates, namely, glycerol-3 caprolactone-triacrylate (Gly-3CL-TA) and glycerol-6 caprolactone-triacrylate (Gly-6CL-TA) were synthesized from ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolacton monomer in the presence of glycerol and then acrylation was performed using acryloyl chloride. 3D printing resins made of Gly-3CL-TA or Gly-6CL-TA, 5% HA and 3% of photoinitiator 2,4,6-Trimethylbenzoyl-diphenyl-phosphineoxide were then formulated. The surface topography, surface element composition, flexural strength, flexural modulus, cytotoxicity and degradation of the PCL-based scaffolds were then characterized. Findings Resin composite composed of Gly-3CL-TA or Gly-6CL-TA and 5% (w/w) of HA can be printed by 405 nm DLP 3D printers. The former has lower viscosity and thus can form a more uniform layer-by-layer structure, while the latter exhibited a higher flexural strength and modulus after being printed. Both composite materials are non-cytotoxic and degradable. Originality/value This study provides a direction of the formulation of environment-friendly resin composite for DLP 3D printing. Both resin composites have huge potential in tissue engineering applications.

The application of fly ash and silica fume in concrete composites by blending synchronously can improve the mechanical properties of concrete composites. However, the concrete composite becomes much brittle with the usage of fly ash and silica fume. Polypropylene fibre is often used to improve the ductility of concrete composites. This article discusses the effect of polypropylene fibre on the flexural properties of concrete composites containing fly ash and silica fume. Results reveal that the addition of polypropylene fibre can increase the flexural strength and decrease the flexural modulus of elasticity of the concrete composite containing fly ash and silica fume evidently. Furthermore, it is indicated that an increase in the fibre volume fraction leads to an increase in the flexural strength and a decrease in the flexural modulus of elasticity when the fibre volume fraction is not beyond 0.12 per cent. Polypropylene fibre seems to play an important role to improve the ductility of concrete composites containing fly ash and silica fume.
