Bi‐phasic water diffusion in sheet molding compound composite

Important Dental Fiber-Reinforced Composite Molding Compound Breakthroughs.

Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) molding compounds with micromechanic requirements for fiber lengths longer than critical length (Lc) are now the most important breakthrough in Dentistry since the amalgam. The Lc is a measure of the minimum perfectly aligned fiber length dimension needed before maximum fiber stress transfer starts to occur within the cured resin [1-3]. Mechanical properties tes...

Volumetrical Characterization of Sheet Molding Compounds

For a comprehensive study of Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) surfaces, topographical data obtained by chromatic confocal imaging were submitted systematically for the development of a profile model to understand the formation of cavities on the surface. In order to qualify SMC surfaces and to predict their coatability, a characterization of cavities is applied. To quantify the effect of surface mo...

Compound composite odontoma.

Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumors and generally they are asymptomatic. Frequently, it may interfere with the eruption of the teeth. This is a case report of a compound composite odontoma in a 10-year-old girl, which results in failure of eruption of the permanent upper right central incisor while the contralateral tooth had erupted. A calcified mass was seen in the radiog...

NSF Composite Sheet Forming Workshop.PDF

Background The breakthrough of advanced composite materials in various applications has occurred to a smaller extent than might have been expected previously, mainly due to the high integral costs of composite products: a high cost of manufacturing added to the already expensive raw material. There is a clear need for improved costeffectiveness. The key issues are considered to be: cheaper prod...
