Carbon Fiber Post to Reinforce Esthetics

Carbon Fiber Post-Strengthening of Concrete Structures

Introduction In the 1970s, exterior bonded steel reinforcement was used sporadically to reinforce bridges to attain higher service load capacities. This steel post-strengthening system consisted of steel straps bonded with epoxies to the exterior of concrete beams. An alternative to the steel retrofit is woven carbon fiber reinforced polymer fabric applied in the same manner as steel. Carbon fi...

Clinical evaluation of carbon fiber reinforced carbon endodontic post, glass fiber reinforced post with cast post and core: A one year comparative clinical study

AIM Restoring endodontically treated teeth is one of the major treatments provided by the dental practitioner. Selection and proper use of restorative materials continues to be a source of frustration for many clinicians. There is controversy surrounding the most suitable choice of restorative material and the placement method that will result in the highest probability of successful treatment....

Fracture Resistance of Endodontically Treated Teeth Restored by Glass Fiber Post and Carbon Post Systems

known that these teeth are generally weak because of dental structure loss, cavities, filling preparation, and root canal instrumentation. These teeth are thus rendered weak. Moreover, the decrease in the dentin moisture further lowers their strength properties, thus making them more susceptible to fractures. Therefore, it is necessary to take utmost care while selecting the most efficient way ...

Aligning carbon nanotubes using bulk acoustic waves to reinforce polymer composites

The Use of Carbon Nanotubes to Reinforce 45S5 Bioglass-Based Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering Applications

Bioglass has been used for bone-filling material in bone tissue engineering, but its lean mechanical strength limits its applications in load-bearing positions. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with their high aspect ratio and excellent mechanical properties, have the potential to strengthen and toughen bioactive glass material without offsetting its bioactivity. Therefore, in this research, multiwall ...
