This paper introduces a simple fiber/tape composite that is easy to prepare and structurally more uniform. This novel composite provides a good alternative standard composite sample for experimental study of various phenomena and issues in fiber reinforced composite behaviors. Experimental results in the present work demonstrate how the fiber fragmentation, fiber-reinforcing effect and the gaug...

In patients refusing implant surgery for psychological reasons, when minimal tooth reduction is desired, a fiber-reinforced composite inlay fixed partial denture (IFPD) can be used to replace missing teeth. In comparison to other restorative systems this conservative approach carries a lower risk of pulp exposure and/or periodontal inflammation, maintaining the health of supporting tissues. The...

introduction: debonding is a common cause of failure encountered with fiber-reinforced composite (frc) posts, and usually occurs along the post space-dentin adhesive interface. the aim of this in vitro study is to evaluate the regional push-out bond strength of a fiber-reinforced post system, using two resin cements. materials and methods: in this in vitro study 20 maxillary central incisors we...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composite fixed partial dentures (FPDs) are af-fected by fiber impregnation. The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the fracture resistance of composite fixed partialdentures reinforced with pre-impregnated and non-impregnated fibers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Groups (n=5) of three-unit fiber-reinforced composite FPDs (23 mm...

Adhesively luted, fiber-reinforced, composite-inlay, retained fixed-partial dentures can be a clinical alternative for the replacement of missing posterior teeth in selective situations. This type of restoration allows for satisfactory esthetics and reduced tooth preparation compared to a conventional, fixed-partial denture. This clinical report describes the use of a fiber-reinforced, composit...

In this paper the effect of various chemical treatments on the damping property of jute fiber reinforced green composite is discussed. The surface of the jute fiber was modified by alkali, permanganate, benzoyl chloride, malic anhydride and silane treatments. Several samples of unidirectional composites were prepared with treated jute fibers as well as untreated jute fibers. Matrix used is epox...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fiber-reinforced resin burs on the surface roughness of a nanofilled composite. METHODS Average surface roughness values (Ra, mum) were measured using a surface profilometer and surface textures after finishing procedures were evaluated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Thirty cylindrical specimens were prepared usin...

Glass fiber reinforced polymer composites are one of the most widely used composite materials. The addition of Coal ash to polymer matrix dramatically increases the overall mechanical strength of the composite material as compared to the polymer composite. In view of this, a method is proposed for mixing coal ash powder (size 52-75 μm) into resin and Ash reinforced polymer composites are fabric...

Recently, short fiber reinforced composites are widely utilized in many structural parts in automobile, infrastructure and electric equipment applications due to their high specific strength, high specific stiffness, long fatigue life and high impact resistance as well as cost effective capability of production. If these parts are exposed to low-velocity impact, significant damages may develop ...
