In this study, the Al/Al2O3-SiC hybrid composite was produced by accumulative roll bonding (ARB). In the first and the second cycles, the particles were uniformly poured between the Al strips during each ARB cycle. In the subsequent cycles, ARB was repeated up to six cycles without adding the particles between the layers. After the total eight cycles, the particles were distributed uniformly wi...

This paper investigated the moisture absorption, mechanical behavior and the dielectric performance of hybrid and non-hybrid polymeric composites. Hand lay-up technique was used for processing carbon; glass reinforced polyester resin composites (non-hybrid) and carbon-glass/polyester hybrid composites with various fiber configurations. The maximum resistance of water absorption was obtained for...

Objective: To investigate the repair bond strength of fresh and aged nanohybrid and hybrid composite resins using a universal adhesive (UA). Materials and methods: Fresh and aged substrates were prepared using two nanohybrid (Venus Pearl, Heraus Kulzer; Filtek Supreme XTE, 3 M ESPE) and one hybrid (Z100, 3 M ESPE) composite resin, and randomly assigned to different surface treatments: (1) no tr...

In this study, we report a facile fabrication of ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet hybrid composite, α-Fe2O3 nanosheet@Ni(OH)2 nanosheet, by a two-step hydrothermal method to achieve high specific capacitance and good stability performance at high charging/discharging rates when serving as electrode material of supercapacitors. The α-Fe2O3@Ni(OH)2 hybrid electrode not only has a smooth d...

Methods and Materials: Fourteen patients with at least one or two pairs of non-carious lesions under occlusion and a mean age of 50 were enrolled in this study. A total of 56 restorations (14 with each material) were placed by three experienced, calibrated dental practitioners. Two other experienced and calibrated practitioners, under single-blind conditions, followed up on all restorations for...

friction stir processing was applied for fabricating an aluminum alloy based hybrid nano composite reinforced with nano sized al2o3 and micro sized graphite particles. a mixture of al2o3 and graphite particles was packed into a groove with 1 mm width and 4.5 mm depth, which had been cut in 5083 aluminum plate of 10 mm thick. packed groove was subjected to friction stir processing in order to im...

statement  of  problem:  patients’ demand  for  tooth-colored  restoratives  in the posterior region is increasing. clinicians use universal nanohybrid resin composites for both anterior and posterior regions. there are few published reports comparing fracture toughness of nonohybrids and that of hybrid composite stored wet and dry. objectives: to investigate the fracture toughness of three nan...

This research deals with axial and oblique impact crash tests on simple and hybrid composite tubes. Axial and oblique impact tests have been generated on simple and hybrid composite tubes with one, two and three layers. A drop test rig was used to conduct the experiments. Furthermore, in order to gain more detailed knowledge about the crash process, finite element simulations of the experim...

Received: December 28, 2017 Revised: February 23, 2018 Accepted: February 26, 2018 Abstract: Background: For centuries, steel rebar has been the primary reinforcement in concrete despite its major drawbacks, such as its heavy weight, high electrical conductivity, and corrosiveness. Thus, in response to the need for better alternatives, innovative Hybrid Composite (HC) reinforcements have been d...

statement of problem: ceramics as in ceramo-metallic and all ceramic tooth restorations have grown popular owing to their high tissue compatibility and esthetic advantages. such restorations have the capability to deliver valuable services over a long period of time; however, failures under intraoral conditions are not unanticipated. purpose: the purpose of this in-vitro study was to investigat...
