Introduction: A dental post is a restoration to preserve the remaining tooth structure thus can be functioned normally. Many researchers suggested a fiber dental post due to its biomechanical properties that are similar to dentin structure. This study aims to analyse the flexural properties of electrospun polymethyl methacrylate microfiber-reinforced BisGMA for dental post prefabrication. Methods: The sample used was following the ADA guideline, as well as for the number of samples. The sample size was 25×2×2mm, which is close to the average dental post size. PMMA microfibers were prepared by dissolving heat cure PMMA powder with 99% acetone, then electrospinning with a rotary collector. Acquired PMMA microfibers were immersed into the resin matrix containing BisGMA, camphorquinone, and 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) as a monomer, initiator, and co-initiator, respectively, to prepare the dental posts. Results: PMMA microfibers structure and surface fracture of dental posts were confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). PMMA microfibers show unaligned fiber morphology with an approximate diameter size of 1-5 µm.  A universal testing machine was used to measure the dental post's flexural properties (flexural strength and flexural modulus). Dental posts with PMMA fibers showed higher flexural strength (83.5 ± 10.7 MPa) compared to the dental post without PMMA fibers (61.7 ± 3.03 MPa) with a p-value <0.05. On the other hand, PMMA fibers' addition did not significantly increase the dental post's flexural modulus. Conclusion: The PMMA microfibers can intimately adhere to the BisGMA mixture as the resin matrix. Therefore, the PMMA microfiber significantly improves the flexural strength of the BisGMA for dental post prefabrication.

Composite fiber were already developed and looked promising in dentistry. PMMA, optically clear polymer, was combined with high mechanically properties ZrO2-Al2O3-SiO2 (ZAS) ceramic powder to improve the flexural strength value of dental post prototype. ZAS powder, with ratio 60:20:20, were first prepared via sol-gel technique. Afterwards, PMMA was dissolved in acetone then incorporate with ZAS powder 1% wt to gain ZAS-PMMA composite fiber via electrospinning method. Dental post prototype were fabricated into two groups, one group contain ZAS-PMMA composite fibers and one group contain neat BisGMA, as control, with amount of each groups samples was 10. As-prepared samples were tested by Universal Testing Machine (UTM) to evaluate the flexural strength values. Based on unpaired T-test analysis (p value < 0.05), the composite fiber post is significantly higher (48.17 %) than the neat BisGMA post. ZAS-PMMA composite fiber post was potential to be used as dental endodontic post in anterior.

Powder Component

There has been little change in the formulation of bone cements since Sir John Charnley first developed them in the 1970s. Bone cements are methacrylate based systems packaged in two components [1]. The powder component contains a mixture of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), methyl methacrylate-styrene-copolymer, and a radio opacifier (either barium sulfate or zirconium oxide) [2]. The second component is a liquid monomer typically containing methyl methacrylate, N, N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (activator), and hydroquinone. Flexural strength and flexural modulus of bone cements range between 60–75 MPa and 2.2–3.3 GPa, respectively [3, 4]. ISO 5833 requires bone cements to have a strength greater than 50 MPa and a modulus greater than 1.8 GPa [5].

Abstract The reinforcing effect of graphene oxide (GO) in enhancing the flexural strength and flexural modulus of aramid fiber (AF)/epoxy composites were investigated with GO-AFs at a weight fraction of 0.1-0.7%. The flexural strength and flexural modulus of the composite reached 87.16 MPa and 1054.7 MPa, respectively, which were about 21.19% and 40.86% higher than those of the pure epoxy resin, respectively. In addition, the flexural properties and interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of composite reinforced by GO-AFs were much higher than the composites reinforced by AFs due to GO improved the interfacial bonding between the reinforcement material and matrix.

Opposite Tendency

In recent years, from an environmental perspective, there has been increasing interest in the change to a sustainable society. The use of natural-fiber-reinforced biodegradable composites has been proposed as one solution. Bamboo is an often used renewable bio-resource; it has an inherent advantage of rapid growth. Polybutylene succinate ( PBS ), used as matrix resin, has biodegradable characteristics. This paper describes flexural properties of bamboo/ PBS composites prepared by injection molding. The following results were obtained. The flexural modulus was improved with increasing bamboo powder contents when the cylinder temperature of the injection molder was 140°C. However, the flexural strength showed the opposite tendency to be decreased with increasing bamboo powder contents. An SEM photomicrograph of the fracture surface for bamboo/ PBS composites showed typical fracture behavior of pull-out fibers without fiber fracture. Furthermore, there was no adhesion of PBS resin on the bamboo fiber surface. Processing conditions affected mechanical properties of bamboo/ PBS composites, imparting higher flexural strength and flexural modulus at high cylinder temperatures such as 180°C and 200°C.

The effects of microfiller addition on the flexural properties of carbon fiber reinforced phenolic (CFRP) matrix composites were investigated. The CFRP was produced using colloidal silica and silicon carbide (SiC) microfillers, 2 D woven carbon fibers, and two variants of phenolic resole (HRJ-15881 and SP-6877). The resins have the same phenol and solid content but differ in their viscosities and HCHO (formaldehyde) content. The weight fractions of microfillers incorporated into the phenolic matrix are 0.5 wt.%, 1 wt.%, 1.5 wt.%, and 2 wt.%. Flexural properties were determined using a three-point bending test and the damage evolution under flexural loading was investigated using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the reinforcement of phenolic resins with carbon fibers increased the flexural strength of the HRJ-15881 and SP-6877 by 508% and 909%, respectively. The flexural strength of the CFRP composites further increased with the addition of SiC particles up to 1 wt.% SiC but decreased with further increase in the amount of SiC particles. On the other hand, the flexural modulus of the CFRP composites generally decreased with the addition of SiC microfiller. Both the flexural strength and flexural modulus of the CFRP did not improve with the addition of colloidal silica particles. The decrease in flexural properties is caused by the agglomeration of the microfillers, with colloidal silica exhibiting more tendency for agglomeration than SiC. The fractured surfaces revealed fiber breakage, matrix cracking, and delamination under flexural loading. The tendency for failure worsened at microfiller addition of ≥1.5 wt.%.

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.

Vinyl ester resin was filled with of glass powder with a view to increasing the flexural strength of the composites for civil and structural applications by a research Centre on composites, University of Southern Queensland (USQ). In order to reduce costs, the Centre wishes to fill as much glass powder as possible to the resin subject to maintaining sufficient strength of the composites in civil and structural applications. This project varies the percentage by weight of the glass powder in the composites, which are then subjected to flexural tests. The flexural strength and strain of the glass powder filled vinyl ester composites decreased with increasing filler content but the flexural modulus was highest at 20 w/t % of glass powder. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to analyze the fractured samples and it was found that the fractured surfaces examined were correlated with the flexural properties.

In this article, the mechanical properties of biaxial and triaxial woven aramid fabric and respective reinforced composites were investigated. Both fabrics had the same mass/m2. The first part of the experimental investigation was focused on the mechanical properties of different non-laminated aramid fabrics (biaxial and triaxial). The second part was concerned with the mechanical properties of composites made of a different combination of layers of fabric reinforced with an epoxy resin matrix in the order of biaxial+biaxial, trixial+triaxial and biaxial+triaxial. The composites were tested for tensile strength, flexural strength, strain and Young’s and flexural modulus. It can be seen from the results that the density and direction of the yarns are the most important parameters for determination of the strength of the fabric reinforced composite. The biaxial composite clearly showed better tensile strength, while the bi-tri axial order showed good flexural strength compared to the other composite combinations. These fabric reinforced composites have suitable applications in the areas of medical, protection and in the automotive industries.

In this paper, a functionally graded polymer nanocomposite (FGPNC) was arranged via mixing the Alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticles (50 – 100 nm) with an epoxy matrix through five layers of 1.2 mm thickness for each layer using hand lay–up technique. Different volume fractions were taken (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) % of the used nanoparticles and were cast in molds made from acrylic for creating the graded composite sheet in the thickness direction. The prepared isotropic specimen was tested by tensile and compressive test. The results showed that the (4% Vf of Al2O3) has the best enhancement of the ultimate tensile strength (85.25% from neat epoxy) and decreased thereafter. Flexural properties of three different types of functionally graded materials (FGMs), including FGM1, FGM2 and FGM3, isotropic nanocomposite (2% Al2O3) and pristine epoxy were obtained. Flexural strength and flexural modulus of the functionally graded polymer nanocomposite for each type of FGMs enhanced by (51.7%) and (67%), respectively for the FGM1 loaded from the neat epoxy side, whereas for the FGM1 loaded from the (4%) side, the improvement in these properties was (17.8%) and (29.4%), correspondingly over those for the neat epoxy. For FGM2, the improvement in the flexural strength was (27%) and (71.8%) for the flexural modulus as compared with pristine epoxy. The enhancement in the flexural strength of FGM3 was (27%) and flexural modulus (57.7%). Design Modeler (ANSYS Workbench) was used to verify the experimental flexural test results. A very good agreement was found between the experimental and numerical results with a maximum error of (3.92%) in the flexural modulus for FGM1 loaded from the composite side.
