The most important performance for repair materials is adhesion to the substrate. The authors experimentally find out that high modulus fine aggregates in repair material enhance strength of it as well as the strength of the interface repaired with it, compared to the ordinary repair without fine aggregates. This paper elaborates the mechanisms for that with fractographic observation and FEM analysis based on the results of experiment. Also the authors discuss the ways for enhancing the strength and ductility of the repaired mortar.

In order to determine the optimal proportion of magnesium phosphate cement mortar, the influences of ratio of magnesium phosphate cement-based binder (MPB) to sand (MPB/S), effects of fly ash on fluidity and strength development of MPB mortar, and the compatibility between MPB and traditional concrete and shrinkage of MPB mortar were investigated in this paper. The optimal proportion in this test was: setting adjusting agent of 12%, P/M ratio of 1:2(in weight), MPB/S ratio of 1:1 and FA/S ratio of 15%. The results showed that the MPB mortar met the higher early strength requirement of rapid-repair materials, with compressive strength beyond 50MPa and flexural strength more than 9.1MPa at 3 hours, and at later ages no reduction of strength happened. There was a good compatibility between MPB and traditional concrete. The shrinkage of MPB mortar at 28 days was less than 2.89 × 10-4. Therefore MPB is very suitable for rapid repairing of concrete structures.

The present study was undertaken for evaluating the sealing ability of furcation repair materials GC Fuji VII, MTA Plus and Biodentine. Diagnosis of iatrogenic perforation requires a combination of symptomatic findings in clinical observations. Perforations can be defined as mechanical or pathological communications between the root canal system and the external tooth surface. Study was conducted in the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Himachal Dental College, Sundernagar, Himachal Pradesh, India. Fifty five sound mandibular molars with non fused and well developed roots were used for the study. The specimens were examined using SEM which is maintained approximately 15Kv and 10-6 Torr under high vacuum condition. Specimen imaging were done by secondary electrons using a secondary electron detector. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) pictures, MTA plus shows the minimum marginal gap of 2.17 micrometers, followed by Biodentine 5.55 micrometers and GC FUJI VII 8.00 micrometers. The most important factors determining the success of a perforation repair procedure are the location of the perforation; time elapsed between the occurrence of the perforation and repair, the ability of the material to seal the perforation and the biocompatibility of the repair material. In our study, MTA Plus showed minimum leakage compared to GC FUJI VII and Biodentine. The minimum microleakage as observed in MTA Plus group might be attributed to its superior marginal sealing ability resulting from its hydrophilic properties and formations of an inter facial layer. Biodentine also provides a good seal almost similar to that of MTA Plus when used as a furcation repair material. GC Fuji VII showed significantly more leakage and gap formation than Biodentine and MTA Plus.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical performance and fire resistance of a high strength polymer-modified cementitious composite, to test its ability to repair concrete tunnel structures that are in danger of collapse due to cracks or deterioration. In particular, because existing repair materials are not fire-resistant and commercial fire-resistant materials have low strength, this study was aimed at increasing the water tightness and strength of a repair material and also making it resistant to fire. In addition, this study evaluated changes in internal temperature depending on the cover thickness of repair materials to determine the optimal cover thickness at which a high strength polymer-modified cementitious composite could protect existing concrete tunnel structures from fire. Results indicated that the high strength polymer-modified cementitious composite had superior strength and water tightness than commercial fire-resistant materials and it also provided good fire resistance. The high strength polymer-modified cementitious composite required to be applied in an optimal layer thickness of at least 40 mm to protect existing structures from fire.

The skull provides protection and mechanical support, and acts as a container for the brain and its accessory organs. Some defects in the skull can fatally threaten human life. Many efforts have been taken to repair defects in the skull, among which cranioplasty is the most prominent technique. To repair the injury, numerous natural and artificial materials have been adopted by neurosurgeons. Many cranioprostheses have been tried in the past decades, from autoplast to bioceramics. Neurosurgeons have been evaluating their advantages and shortages through clinical practice. Among those prostheses, surgeons gradually prefer bionic ones due to their marvelous osteoconductivity, osteoinductivity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Autogeneic bone has been widely recognized as the “gold standard” for renovating large-sized bone defects. However, the access to this technique is restricted by limited availability and complications associated with its use. Many metal and polymeric materials with mechanical characteristics analogous to natural bones were consequently applied to cranioplasty. But most of them were unsatisfactory concerning osteoconductiion and biodegradability owe to their intrinsic properties. With the microstructures almost identical to natural bones, mineralized collagen has biological performance nearly identical to autogeneic bone, such as osteoconduction. Implants made of mineralized collagen can integrate themselves into the newly formed bones through a process called “creeping substitution”. In this review, the authors retrospect the evolution of skull repair material applied in cranioplasty. The ultimate skull repair material should have microstructure and bioactive qualities that enable osteogenesis induction and intramembranous ossification.

There are usually two forms of bone repair materials, block and granular, for common clinical use. This paper describes a novel injectable material, nano-HA/collagen/alginate (nHAC/Alg) composite biomaterial, including its preparation and evaluationsin vitro. Based on the idea of bionics and the study of collagen/calcium phosphate salt composite materials, the injectable bone repair material was developed. Then, human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs) were cultured on the nHAC/Alg material. The cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation were evaluated with inverted microscope, scanning electron microscope, laser scanning confocal microscope, 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) analysis, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test. The results showed that nHAC/Alg not only had no negative effect on cellular functions but also promotes cell proliferation and differentiation into osteogenic cells, which suggests that the nanoscaled injectable bone repair material has good clinical application prospects for bone repair.

Methyl methacrylate (MMA)-based repair material for concrete has the characteristics of low viscosity, excellent mechanical properties, and good durability. However, its application is limited due to its large shrinkage. Existing studies have shown that adding perchloroethylene can reduce the shrinkage. On this basis, other properties of modified MMA-based repair materials were tested and analyzed in the present study. The results revealed that the addition of perchloroethylene (PCE) can hinder the polymerization reaction of the system. When CaCO3 with a mass fraction of 30% was added, the viscosity of the material was within the range of 450–500 mPa·s, and the shrinkage decreased to approximately 10%. The bending strength of MMA, and MMA modified by PCE, repair materials at 28 days could reach up to 28.38 MPa and 29.15 MPa, respectively. After the addition of HS-770 light stabilizer with a mass fraction of 0.4%, the retention ratios of the bending strength of materials with ratios of P0 and P3 could reach 91.11% and 89.94%, respectively, after 1440 h of ultraviolet radiation. The retention ratio of the bending strength of the material could reach more than 95% after immersion in different ionic solutions for 90 days.

This paper aims at revealing the relationship between fractographic parameters of the mortar-mortar interface and the mechanical properties of such interface in terms of flexural strength and fracture energy. The FEM simulation was conducted where 8 cases of the combination of material properties were applied for all 7 interface models. The fractographic parameters evaluated on each interface model were six. Among them, both Sd (standard deviation of the height) and RL (ratio of the real length of the crack path to the projected length) are closely related to the mechanical properties.

In recent years, research and development of geopolymers has gained significant interest in the fields of repairs and restoration. This paper investigates the application of a geopolymer as a repair material by implementation of high-calcium fly ash (FA) as a main precursor, activated by a sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate solution. Three methods of concrete substrate surface preparation were cast and patched: as-cast against ordinary Portland cement concrete (OPCC), with drilled holes, wire-brushed, and left as-cast against the OPCC grade 30. This study indicated that FA-based geopolymer repair materials (GRMs) possessed very high bonding strength at early stages and that the behavior was not affected significantly by high surface treatment roughness. In addition, the investigations using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy have revealed that the geopolymer repair material became chemically bonded to the OPC concrete substrate, due to the formation of a C–A–S–H gel. Fundamentally, the geopolymer network is composed of tetrahedral anions (SiO4)4− and (AlO4)5− sharing the oxygen, which requires positive ions such as Na+, K+, Li+, Ca2+, Na+, Ba2+, NH4+, and H3O+. The availability of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) at the surface of the OPCC substrate, which was rich in calcium ions (Ca2+), reacted with the geopolymer; this compensated the electron vacancies of the framework cavities at the bonding zone between the GRM and the OPCC substrate.

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the suitability of one specific silorane-based composite for the application as a repair material for different substrates. Materials and methods Truncated cones of composites fabricated and thermocycled for 6000 cycles to serve as a substrate were made of two commercially available dimethacrylate-based composites (DBC) (Filtek Supreme and Clearfil APX) and one silorane-based composite (SBC) (Filtek P90). The surface of the specimens was treated with air-abraded using Al2O3-particles of 50 µm size. A Teflon device was used to fabricate inverted truncated cones of repair composite over the surface-treated top of each original truncated cone. DBC and SBC were used as repair materials and bonded to the specimens using either a dimethacrylate-based (single bond 2) or a phosphate-methacrylate-based (adhesive belongs to the silorane) adhesives. The specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°C for 7 days and stressed to failure under tension. The data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests at 5%. Results Bonding DBC as a repair material to a DBC substrate using the dimethacrylate-based adhesive produced the highest bond strength. Bonding DBC as repair material using the phosphate-methacrylate-based adhesive or SBC as repair material using the dimethacrylate-based adhesive produced lower bond strength, regardless the brand and of the chemical formulation of the aged substrate. Conclusion In order to obtain high bond strength, there is need to match adhesive and repair material, regardless the brand and of the chemical formulation of the substrate.
