이 연구의 목적은 와동의 형태가 굴곡강도와 탄성계수 등 복합레진의 물리적 성질에 미치는 영향을 평가하는 것이다. 복합레진은 Clearfil$^{TM}$ AP-X(Kuraray, Japan)와 Esthet-X$^{TM}$(Dentsply, USA)가 이용되었으며, 상아질 접착제는 Clearfil$^{TM}$ SE Bond(Kuraray, Japan)와 Prime & Bond NT$^{TM}$(Dentsply, USA)를 사용하였다. 대조군의 시편은 split steel mold(25mm$\times$2mm$\times$2mm) 내에 상기 2종류의 복합레진을 충전하여 2개의 대조군 시편을 제작하였으며, 2.4 및 3.4의 C-factor를 부여하기 위한 유리 모형와동을 제작하고, 와동 내에 상기 2종류의 복합레진을 충전하기 전 유리와동의 내면은 sandblasting 처리하고 각각의 복합레진과 동일회사 제품의 상기 상아질 접착제로 처리한 후, 복합 레진을 각각 충전하여 4개의 실험군을 제작하였다. 제작된 실험군 시편은 저속 diamond saw로 충전된 복합레진 부위의 중심부를 통과하도록 절단하여 레진기둥(25mm$\times$2mm$\times$2mm)이 되도록 제작하였다. 제작된 시편을 37$^{\circ}C$의 증류수에 24시간 동안 보관 후, 만능시험기(EZ Test, Shimadzu, Japan)를 이용하여 분당 1mm의 crosshead speed로 3점 굴곡강도를 측정하였다. 또 Linometer(R&B, Korea)를 이용하여 복합레진의 중합수축량을 측정하였으며 굴곡강도측정 후 시편의 파단면은 주사전자현미경(S-2300, Hitachi, Japan)을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 실험결과의 통계분석은 95% 수준의 one-way ANOVA/Tukey's test를 이용하여 결과를 얻었다. 실험에 이용된 2종류 복합레진의 굴곡강도와 탄성계수는 C-factor치 증가에 따라 감소하였으며, 파단면 또한 C-factor의 증가에 따라 더 불규칙해지는 양상을 나타내었다. 본 실험의 결과 hybrid형 복합레진이 micro-hybrid형 복합레진에 비해 C-factor의 영향을 더 많이 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 와동의 C-factor증가가 굴곡강도나 탄성계수와 같은 복합레진의 물리적 성질을 저하시킨다는 것을 의미하였다.

The study aimed at examining how different reline resins affect flexural strength and flexural modulus of denture base. A total of 80 specimens ($64{\times}10{\times}3.3$ mm, according to ISO 1567:1999) of heat-polymerized resin, 40 specimens for (Lucitone199(Dentsply Int., NewYork, USA), SR Ivocap(Ivoclar AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein)) respectively, were polymerized according to the manufacturer's instructions and divided into eight groups(n = 10). Control group specimens remained intact. Specimens in the other groups were abraded on both sides to 2 mm thickness, and were relined in 1.3 mm thickness with 3 types of resins (Lucitone199(Dentsply), SR Ivocap(Ivoclar), and Rebase II(Tokuyama Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan)). All specimens were preserved in distilled water at $37^{\circ}C$ for 50 hours, and then were subjected to flexural strength testing in a universal testing machine using 3-point loading. A crosshead speed of 5 mm/min was used, and the distance between the supports was 50 mm. Data analyses included one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) and the Tukey Honestly Significant Difference test (p=.05). Both heat-polymerized resin groups and auto-polymerized resin groups showed statistically low flexural strength and flexural modulus than control groups. Specimens relined with Lucitone 199 showed significantly higher flexural strength and flexural modulus than those relined with SR-Ivocap. Specimens relined with auto-polymerized resin showed significantly lower flexural strength and flexural modulus than those relined with heat-polymerized resin. Relining with heat-polymerized resins showed superior mechanical properties to relining with an auto-polymerized resin. Relining with the same heat-polymerized resin as the denture base does not affect mechanical properties of a denture. Lucitone199 using a compression-mould technique resulted in the highest flexural strength.

본 연구에서는 압출성형에서 Nylon6 를 기재로 멜라민계 난연제를 사용하여 난연성 및 물성평가를 비교, 분석하였다. 멜라민계 난연제를 선택한 이유는 탈할로겐화 추세에 일조를 하며 연기가 적고, 생분해를 하는 물질이기 때문에 큰 장점이 있다. 또한 새로운 제품 및 적용범위를 발굴하기가 상대적으로 용이하다는 장점이 있기 때문에 멜라민계 난연제를 선택하였다. 난연 Test는 UL-94 측정방법을 이용하였고 물성평가는 UTM 측정기기로 인장강도, 연신율, 굴곡강도, 굴곡탄성율 측정하였다. 또 충격강도 시험기로 충격강도를 측정하였고, 물성평가 경우에는 난연제로 인한 물성저하를 최소화 하기위해 Nano-clay 를 첨가하여 비교하였다. 연구결과는 난연 Test 경우 난연제의 함량이 $5wt\%$ 이상이면 V0급으로 나왔고 물성평가에서는 Nanoclay를 첨가한 실험이 물성저하를 대처할 수 있을 정도의 결과로 보여 진다.

To determine the effect of chain length of linear amine curing agents on the thermal and mechanical properties, standard epoxy resin, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) was cured with diethylenetriamine (DETA), triethylenetetraamine (TETA) and tetraethylenepentaamine (TEPA) in a stoichiometrically equivalent ratio. From this work, the effect of linear amine curing agents on the thermal and mechanical properties was significantly influenced by chain length of curing agents. In contrast, the results showed that the DGEBA/DETA system had higher values than the DGEBA/TETA and DGEBA/TEPA system in the density, shrinkage (%), thermal expansion coefficient, tensile modulus, and flexural strength. Whereas the DGEBA/DETA cure system had lower values than the DGEBA/TETA and DGEBA/TEPA cure system in the maximum exothermic temperature, conversion (%), and T$_{g}$. These findings imply that the differences in the maximum conversion about the chain length of curing agents affect the thermal and mechanical properties.s.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare flexural strength and elastic modulus of several splinting materials dependent on water absorption. Materials and Methods: Three different materials; LightFix, G-FIX, G-aenial Universal Flo; were used in this study. Thirty rectangular bar specimens ($25{\times}2{\times}2mm$) of each materials were prepared. Fifteen specimens of each materials were stored in 100% relative humidity atmosphere, $37^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The other specimens were stored in distilled water, $37^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. Flexural strength and elastic modulus were calculated using Universal testing machine. One-way ANOVA and Scheffe's post hoc test at 95% level of significance were used on all test results. Results: In LightFix, flexural strength and elastic modulus were significantly decreased after aging. In G-FIX, there was no significant change in flexural strength and elastic modulus after aging. In G-aenial Universal Flo, flexural strength was significantly decreased, but elastic modulus did not change significantly. Statistical analysis reveals that flexural strength and elastic modulus increased in the order of LightFix, G-FIX, G-aenial Flo in both 24 hours and 30 days. Conclusion: It could be deduced from this study that flexural strength and elastic modulus of some resins could be changed when it aged in oral environment. Thus this should be considered when choosing a resin to perform a resin-bonded splint.

Objectives: This study investigated the effects of the color components of light-cured composite resin before and after polymerization on degree of conversion (DC) and biaxial flexural strength (FS). Materials and Methods: Four enamel shades (A1, A2, A3, A4) and two dentin shades (A2O, A3O) of Premisa (Kerr Co.) and Denfil (Vericom Co.) were evaluated on their CIE $L^*,\;a^*,\;b^*$ color components using the spectrophotometer before curing, after curing and at 7 day. The DC of same specimens were measured with Near-infrared spectrometer (Nexus, Thermo Nicolet Co.) at 2 hr after cure and at 7 day. Finally, the FS was obtained after all the other measurements were completed at 7 day. The correlations between each color component and DC and FS were evaluated. Results: The light-curing of composite resin resulted in color changes of Premisa in red-blue direction and Denfil in green-blue direction. The DC and FS were affected by product, time and shade (3-way ANOVA, p < 0.05) and product and shade (2-way ANOVA, p < 0.05), respectively. Premisa only showed a significant correlation between the DC and CIE $a^*$ component - before and after polymerization (Pearson product moment correlation, p < 0.05). The FS of Premisa showed significant negative correlations with CIE $a^*$ and CIE $b^*$ components. Conclusions: The DC and FS of the light-curing composite resin were affected by the color components of the material before and after polymerization.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of number of times dipped in coloring liquid and sintering temperature on the flexural strength of zirconia ceramic. In this study, using a zirconia block having improved transparency, specimens with size of $25mm{\times}2mm{\times}1.5mm$ were fabricated. The zirconia ceramic specimens were divided into three groups according to the number of times dipped in coloring liquid by 0, 2 and 4 times, and dyed in the coloring liquid to give color to each specimen. Then, after sintering them at the final temperature of $1,450^{\circ}C$ and $1,600^{\circ}C$, flexural strength was measured using a universal testing machine (total 6 group, n=10 for each group). Also, a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed to observe its microstructure, and the data obtained through the experiment were analyzed with two-way ANOVA. The results of the flexural strength analysis show that the highest value was measured $762.3{\pm}42.3MPa$ in EKL2 group, while the lowest value was $516.4{\pm}77.1MPa$ in EKH4 group. According to the results of the two-way ANOVAs, flexural strength was not related with interaction between sintering temperature and number of times dipped in coloring liquid ($R^2=0.737$). However, there were statistically significant differences in flexural strength depending on sintering temperature (P<0.001). The flexural strength of zirconia ceramics having improved transparency was dependent on sintering temperature. The number of times dipped in the coloring liquid did not affect flexural strength of the zirconia ceramic having improved transparency.

We studied the time-dependent behaviors of rock and concrete materials by conducting the static and dynamic long-term strength tests. In particular, acoustic emission(AE) signals generated while the tests were analyzed and used for the long-term stability evaluation. In the static subcritical crack growth test, the long-term behavior and AE characteristics of Mode I and Mode II were investigated. In the dynamic long-term strength test, the fatigue limit and characteristics of generation of AE were analyzed through cyclic four points bending test. The graph of the cumulative AE hits versus time showed a shape similar to that of the creep curve with the first, second and third stages. The possibility for evaluating the static and dynamic long-term stability of rock and concrete is presented from the log - log relationship between the slope of the secondary stage of cumulative AE hits curve and the delayed failure time.

The curing kinetics and mechanical properties of siloxane-diaminodiphenylmethane (ETSO-DDM) on the two kinds of bisphenol (BPH) system which are DGEBA and DGEBF were investigated with the different contents of ETSO. To investigate the curing kinetics of the ETSO-DDM/BPH systems, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used. The mechanical properties of ETSO-DDM/BPH systems were also examined by universal testing machine (UTM), tensile test and flexural test. From experimental results, the activation energies and mechanical properties of ETSO-DDM/BPH were improved with the decrease contents of ETSO. This was due to the high cross-linking density made from short length of ETSO-DDM, resulting in improving the mechanical inter-locking between ETSO-DDM and BPH in these systems.

In this study, the effect of laminate thickness on the compressive behaviour of composite materials is investigated through systematic experimental work using the stacking sequences, $[O_4]_{ns},{\;}[45/0/-45/90]_{ns}$ and $[45_n/0_n/-45_n/90_n]_s$ (n=2 to 8). Parameters such as fibre volume fraction, void content, fibre waviness and interlaminar stresses, influencing compressive strength with increasing laminate thickness are also studied experimentally and theoretically. Furthermore the stacking sequence effects on failure strength of multidirectional laminates are examined. For this purpose, two different scaling techniques are used; (1) ply-level technique $[45_n/0_n/-45_n/90_n]s$ and (2) sublaminate level technique $[45/0/-45/90]_{ns}$. An apparent thickness effect existes in the lay-up with blocked plies, i.e. unidirectional specimens ($[O_4]_{ns}) and ply-level scaled multidirectional specimens ($[45_n/0_n/-45_n/90_n]_s$). Fibre waviness and void content are found to be main parameters contributing to the thickness effect on the compressive failure strength. However, the compressive strength of the sublaminate level scaled specimens ($[45/0/-45/90]_{ns}$) is almost unaffected regardless of the specimen thickness (since ply thickness remains constant). From the investigation of the stacking sequence effect, the strength values obtained from the sublaminate level scaled specimens are slightly higher than those obtained from the ply level scaled specimens. The reason for this effect is explained by the fibre waviness, void content, free edge effect and stress redistribution in blocked $0^{\circ}$ plies and unblocked $0^{\circ}$ plies. The measured failure strengths are compared with the predicted values.
