Aim of the Study: This study aims to evaluate cytotoxicity different stereolithographic 3D printed materials and polyetheretherketone for varying time intervals using MTT assay by application these intra-oral usage. Materials Methods: Three groups disc specimens (5 mm diameter, 2 thick) were manufactured either selective laser melting (PA6 nylon, fiber reinforced PA6 nylon) or milling (PEEK). T...

A blend of nylon fiber and silver-coated nylon fiber (the latter known as X-static) was used in these experiments. This fiber was bactericidal when bacteria were exposed to it directly or to an extract derived from its prior incubation in salt solution. At ambient temperatures, a rapid exponential decrease of survival occurred, usually after a delay of approximately 1 h. The rate of killing (de...

This paper presents an experimental study conducted to investigate the effect of fiber reinforcement on the mechanical properties and shrinkage cracking of recycled fine aggregate concrete (RFAC) with two types of fiber-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and nylon. A small fiber volume fraction, such as 0.05% or 0.1%, in RFAC with polyvinyl alcohol or nylon fibers was used for optimum efficiency in minimu...

acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (nbr) composites are prepared from waste nylon 66 short fiber using a two-roll mill mixer. the effects of fiber content and bonding agent on the mechanical and morphological properties of the composites are studied. the curing characteristics of the composites have been studied by using cure rheometer. the cure and scorch time of the composites decrease while cure...

The revolution of 3D-printing technology has caused an additional source plastic waste, especially the new generation composite filaments that are linked with commercial fused deposition modeling process, adding pressure to find a sustainable solution tackle emerging waste problem. This study aims investigate mechanical and thermal properties blended recycled material produced by mixing two dif...

Dissimilar material bonding is a challenge constantly being considered within engineering. This paper presents method for tailoring metal surfaces by covalently grafting polymers that are directly complimentary to their respective dissimilar material. Acrylic acid was grafted onto the surface of aluminium which subsequently bonded poly-lactic (PLA), nylon-6, and nylon-6/carbon fiber hybrid via ...

Multiwalled carbon nanotube/nylon-6 nanocomposites (MWNT/nylon-6) were prepared by in situ polymerization, whereby functionalized MWNTs (F-MWNTs) and pristine MWNTs (P-MWNTs) were used as reinforcing materials. The F-MWNTs were functionalized by Friedel-Crafts acylation, which introduced aromatic amine (COC(6)H(4)-NH(2)) groups onto the side wall. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images obtai...
