In vitro effect of fiber reinforcement on fracture resistance of incisal edge composite restorations

Objective: Introduction of fiber-reinforced composites (FRC) greatly enhanced the restoration of fractured anterior teeth. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of fiber reinforcement on fracture resistance of incisal edge composite restorations of variable thicknesses. Methods: Forty extracted sound human maxillary incisors were divided into four groups of 10. Incisal reduction wa...

Manufacturing Technology of Composite Materials—Principles of Modification of Polymer Composite Materials Technology Based on Polytetrafluoroethylene

The results of the investigations into the technological formation of new wear-resistant polymer composites based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filled with disperse synthetic and natural compounds are presented. The efficiency of using PTFE composites reinforced with carbon fibers depends on many factors, which influence the significant improvement of physicomechanical characteristics. The ...

Fiber Bundle Models for Composite Materials

In this paper we will outline the advantages of using fiber bundles in modeling disordered materials. We will present the main aspects of classical fiber bundle models (FBMs) and highlight their ability to capture some essential aspects of composite materials. We then present some extensions of the classical FBM, modifying the way of interaction of fibers, failure law, deformation state and con...
