Dental glass fiber is one of dental synthetic fibers that are widely used in dentistry as a dental resin reinforcement, such as in dentin replacement material. The availability of glass fiber is limited in Indonesia because it must be imported and relatively expensive. Bombyx mori silk-fiber is one of the strongest natural fiber derived from silkworm cocoon processing. Silk-fiber is used in medical applications as a post-surgical sutures, scaffolds for tissue engineering and drug delivery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Bombyx mori silk-fiber volume on the flexural strength of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC). We used Bombyx mori silk-fiber (Perhutani Pati, Central Java, Indonesia) and flowable composite (Charmfil flow, Denkist, Korea) in this study. The FRC samples were divided into 4 groups consisting of fiber volumes of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% (n = 4). Tests of flexural strength were performed according to ISO 4049. The results were analyzed using one way ANOVA (p<0.05). The study showed that the means of the flexural strength (MPa) of Bombyx mori silk-fiber FRC for volume of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% were 149.2 ± 5.5; 127.6 ± 3.8; 110.9 ± 3.5; 71.2 ± 4.2. One-way ANOVA test showed that the means of FRC flexural strength on the four groups’ silk-fiber Bombyx mori volumetric were significantly different (p<0.05). This study concluded that Bombyx mori silk-fiber volumetric influences the flexural strength of fiber- reinforced composite. An increase in Bombyx mori silk-fiber volume decreases the flexural strength of FRC because there is a small gap due to the weak interfacial bonds between dental flowable composite and Bombyx mori silk-silk-fiber.

Fiber reinforced composite (FRC) is a material consisting of a composite resin (matrix), fiber (reinforced) and silanes (to improve the adhesion strength). FRC can be used as a crown framework. More people used mouthwash for oral hygient. The objective of this study was to know the effect of the duration of E-glass FRC immersion into the mouthwash against the flexural strength. The research materials were E-glass (Fiber Splint Polydentia Multi-Layer, Switzerland), composite resin (Master Flow Biodynamic, Brazil), silane (Monobond Ivoclar Vivadent) and mouthwash (Listerine® Multi Protect). Twelve the beam-shaped specimens (25x2x2) mm  The specimens were divided into 3 groups: K1 control group (was not immersed) K2 and K3 treatment groups (was immersed for 24 and 48 hours). The flexural strength value was measured using a universal testing machine (Pearson, Texas). The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed-up by LSD. The results showed decrease of the average flexural strengths of mouthwash K1, K2 and K3. The one-way ANOVA test results showed that there was a significant P>0.05 in the duration of E-glass FRC immersion into the mouthwash against the flexural strength. The LSD test results showed significant differences between all treatment groups. The conclusion of this study is that the duration of E-glass FRC immersion into mouthwash will lower the strength of flexural E-glass FRC.

Bone fractures are mostly caused by trauma and disease. In the therapeutic process of bone healing which often meets some constraints, bone graft is mainly used to ensure that the healing process takes place. A fiber reinforced composite (FRC) is a popular bone graft material that is made to resemble bone properties. FRC is normally comprised of polymer matrix, hydroxyapatite filler, and fiber. Hydroxyapatite is a bioactive material widely used as a bone graft. Silk fiber is known as a reliable material to increase mechanical strength of the FRC. On this basis, this study aims to determine the effect of silk fiber concentration on the flexural strength of FRC. Fiber reinforced composite made of Bis-GMA/TEGDMA/ UDMA resin (CharmFil®, DenKist, Korea), hydroxyapatite (Bioceramic Laboratory, DTMI UGM) and silk fiber (Perhutani, Pati) were divided into three groups. Each group contained different silk fiber concentrations which were 1%, 5% and 10%. The flexural strength test was performed with 3-point bending test according to ISO 10477. The result showed that FRC with silk fiber 1%, 5% and 10% respectively had flexural strength of 61.21 ± 8.43 MPa, 62.97 ± 3.92 MPa and 85.01 ± 7.71 MPa. The result of one way ANAVA analysis showed that mean of FRCs flexural strength were significantly different between one treatment group to another. Thus, it is conclusive that silk fiber has a significant effect on FRCs flexural strength. The addition of 10% concentration of silk fiber is proven to increase FRCs flexural strength.

This paper studies aligned glass fiber-reinforced composites for printing. To determine the influence of fiber content and alignment on the mechanical properties of this novel material, a large number of standard test specimens were prepared, which included samples fabricated by mold-casting, randomly dispersed fiber reinforced mixtures and aligned fiber cement composites containing 10 types of fiber volume ratios manufactured by nozzle sizes ranging of 24 and 10 mm (fiber length = 12 mm). Mechanical properties and failure modes of the specimens under compression and flexural tests were studied experimentally. The anisotropic behaviors of printed samples were analyzed by different loading directions. As a result, the compressive and flexural strength of printed samples showed obvious anisotropy. With the increase of fiber volume ratio, flexural strength of the fiber reinforced composite was elevated tremendously but its compression strength reduced slightly. Moreover, fiber alignment also had a significant influence on the mechanical properties of the fiber reinforced composite. The composite cement-based material with 1 vol.-% aligned fiber exhibited an excellent flexural strength of 9.38 MPa, which increased by 483% in comparison to that of the plain cement paste.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the position of the fiber rich layer on the flexural properties of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) construction. In addition, the total residual monomer content of FRC was quantitatively determined to find out the difference of the effectiveness of two types of light-curing units using liquid chromatography (HPLC). Unidirectional continuous E-glass FRC and hybrid particulate filler composite resins were used in the fabrication of test specimens. Four different positions of the FRC layer were used: compression, neutral, tension, and vertical side position. A three-point bending test (ISO 10477) was performed to measure the flexural properties of the specimens. Position of the FRC layer had a significant effect on the flexural strength (p<0.001, ANOVA). Also, the type of light-curing device had an effect on flexural strength (p<0.001). Specimens with FRC positioned on the compression side showed flexural strength of approximately 250 MPa, whereas FRC positioned on the tension side showed strength ranging from 500 to 600 MPa. Mean flexural modulus with FRC placed horizontally ranged between 9-12 GPa; no significant difference was found between these groups. However when fiber reinforcement was positioned vertically, the flexural modulus raised up to 16 GPa. Specimens with 24 vol% glass fibers contained 52% less residual monomer than specimens without glass fibers. The monomer content was lower in specimens polymerized with the curing device with higher polymerization temperature. In order to optimize flexural strength of low fiber volume fraction, the fibers should be placed at the tension side of the specimen. Citation Lassila LVJ, Vallittu PK.

In this study, the focus was on the optimum design of laminate stacking sequences (LSS) of basalt fiber reinforced composite (BFRP) structure. Eleven rectangular composite panels with different stacking sequences and fiber orientations were analyzed. A three-point flexural test according to ASTM D790 was carried out in ANSYS to simulate the basalt fiber reinforced composite layup flexural strength. From the results, it was found that the composite structure layup of [0/0/45/0/0]s has the highest strength among all samples.
