polysulfide resins,with trade name of  g4 and g112, with short and long chain lengths respectively, were used as reactive modifiers to toughen epoxy resin. the effects of molecular weights of g4 and g112 on impact resistance, dielectric constant, thermal conductivity as well as decomposition  heat and adhesion properties of toughened epoxy were investigated. the impact strength and the dielectr...

this study focuses on achieving high stiffness/strength and good fr characteristic of nylon 66/mca/nc nanocomposites, prepared via melt compounding by twin screw extruder. a synergistic effect of flame retardant systems based on melamine cyanurate and zinc borate on the flammability and mechanical behaviours of crysnanoclay reinforced nylon 66 nanocomposites have been reported. mechanical test ...

Fiber reinforced concretes (FRCs) exhibit property improvement caused by the fibers. By using gamma radiation we have further improved mechanical properties of hydraulic concretes elaborated with Portland cement, water, silica sand, marble and polypropylene (PP) fibers. Compression strength, compression modulus, impact strength and dynamic elastic modulus were determined. Impact fatigue testing...

The present study was designed to measure the durability of glass fiber-reinforced hybrid resins (FRC) in clinical applications. Accordingly, we studied the effects of static and dynamic loading as well as temperature changes inside the oral cavity, a moist environment, on the bending strength of FRC. The bending strength was measured using several tests, including an open-air bending strength ...

The paper presents evaluation of correlations for calculation of concrete compression strength using nondestructive testing parameters for both impact and ultrasonic pulse methods, as listed in EN 13791:2007. This standard indicates procedures relating to compression strength determination in construction and building elements. These procedures relate to compression strength evaluation based ei...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of simulated microwave disinfection on the tooth/acrylic resin impact strength. Acrylic molar teeth with a wax stick attached to the ridge lap were included in brass flasks. Specimens were made with Classico thermopolymerized acrylic resin, according to the groups: 1 and 5 - tooth with no treatment (control); 2 and 6 - tooth bur abrasion; ...
