Graphene-based polymer nanocomposites are very promising candidates for new high-performance materials that offer improved mechanical, barrier, thermal and electrical properties. Herein, an approach is presented to improve the mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) by using graphene nano sheets (GNS). The extent of dispersion of GNS into the polymer matrix was also observed by using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which indicated homogeneous dispersion of GNS through the UPR matrix and strong interfacial adhesion between the GNS and UPR matrix were achieved in the UPR composite, which enhanced the mechanical properties. The tensile strength of the nanocomposites improved at a tune of 52% at a GNS concentration of 0.05%. Again the flexural strength also increased around 92% at a GNS concentration of 0.05%. Similarly the thermal properties and the electrical properties for the nanocomposites were also improved as evidenced from the differential scanning caloriemetry (DSC) and dielectric strength measurement.

본 연구의 목적은 silorane 기질의 치아 수복용 복합레진의 중합수축과 수축응력의 동력학을 평가하고 전통적인 methacrylate 기질의 복합레진과 비교하기 위함이다. 두 종의 methacrylate 기질의 복합레진(Z250, Z350 flowable)과 silorane 기질 복합레진(P90)이 사용되었다. 아르키메데스 원리를 응용해 자체 제작한 중합수축 측정 장치를 사용하여 광중합 중 일어나는 복합레진의 체적 중합수축을 측정하였고 스트레인게이지로 중합수축응력을 측정하였다. Silorane 기질 복합레진인 P90의 중합수축과 최대 중합수축률이 가장 낮았고 methacrylate 기질 복합레진인 Z350 flowable이 가장 높았다. Methacrylate 기질의 복합레진과 비교하여 silorane 기질의 복합레진 P90이 최대 수축률에 이른 시간은 더 길었고 중합수축응력은 낮았다.

일반적인 아미드형 가교제(HD)를 함유한 에폭시 수지의 가교거동을 캐슈너트 외피유(CNSL) 및 CNSL-포름알데하이드 수지(CFR) 그리고 피마자유 존재 하에서 시차열량계(DSC)를 이용하여 조사하였다. 가교반응에 대한 활성화 에너지를 여러 가지 가열속도에서 비등온 DSC 열량그래프로부터 계산하였다. 피마자유 존재 하에서 에폭시 수지의 가교는 1단계 반응을 나타낸 반면 CNSL 및 CFR 존재 하에서는 2단계 가교거동을 나타내었다. 즉, 에폭시 수지/CNSL(혹은 CFR)/HD 블렌드의 경우 경쟁적인 가교반응이 나타났다. HD가 없는 에폭시 수지/CNSL(혹은 CFR) 블렌드의 경우 CFR 시스템이 CNSL보다 낮은 가교엔탈피 값을 나타내었고, CNSL 및 CFR 함량이 증가할수록 가교활성화 에너지는 증가하였다.

PURPOSE. This in vitro study investigated the fracture resistance of endodontically treated premolars restored using silorane-or methacrylate-based composite along with or without fiber or nano-ionomer base. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ninety-six intact maxillary premolars were randomly divided into eight groups (n = 12). G1 (negative control) was the intact teeth. In Groups 2-8, root canal treatment with mesio-occlusodistal preparation was performed. G2 (positive control) was kept unrestored. The other groups were restored using composite resin as follows: G3, methacrylate-based composite (Z250); G4, methacrylate composite (Z250) with polyethylene fiber; G5 and G6, silorane-based composite (Filtek P90) without and with the fiber, respectively; G7 and G8, methacrylate-and silorane-based composite with nano-ionomer base, respectively. After aging period and thermocycling for 1000 cycles, fracture strength was tested and fracture patterns were inspected. The results were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests (${\alpha}$=0.05). RESULTS. Mean fracture resistance for the eight groups (in Newton) were G1: $1200{\pm}169^a$, G2: $360{\pm}93^b$, G3: $632{\pm}196^c$, G4: $692{\pm}195^c$, G5: $917{\pm}159^d$, G6: $1013{\pm}125^{ad}$, G7: $959{\pm}148^d$, G8: $947{\pm}105^d$ (different superscript letters revealed significant difference among groups). Most of the fractures in all the groups were restorable, except Group 3. CONCLUSION. Silorane-based composite revealed significantly higher strength of the restored premolars compared to that of methacrylate one. Fiber insertion demonstrated no additional effect on the strength of both composite restorations; however, it increased the prevalence of restorable fracture of methacrylate-based composite restored teeth. Using nano-ionomer base under methacrylate-based composite had a positive effect on fracture resistance and pattern. Only fiber-reinforced silorane composite restoration resulted in a strength similar to that of the intact teeth.

The use of composite restorative materials is established due to continuing improvements in the materials and restorative techniques. Composite resins are widely used for the restoration of cervical lesions because of esthetics, good physical properties and working time. There are several types of cavity design for class V composite resin filling, but inappropriate cavity form may affect bonding failure, microleakage and fracture during mastication. Cavity preparations for composite materials should be as conservative as possible. The extent of the preparation is usually determined by the size, shape, and location of the defect. The design of the cavity preparation to receive a composite restoration may vary depending on several factors. In this study, 5 types of class V cavity were prepared on each maxillary central incisor. The types are; 1) V-shape, 2) round(U) shape, 3) box form, 4) box form with incisal bevel and 5) box form with incisal bevel and grooves for axial line angles. After restoration, in order to observe the concentration of stress at bonding surfaces of teeth and restorations, developing a 2-dimensional finite element model of labiopalatal section in tooth, surrounding bone, periodontal ligament and gingiva, based on the measurements by Wheeler, loading force from direction of 45 degrees from lingual side near the incisal edge was applied. This study analysed Von Mises stress with SuperSap finite element analysis program(Algor Interactive System, Inc.). The results were as follows : 1. Stress concentration was prevalent at tooth-resin bonding surface of cervical side on each model. 2. In model 2 without line angle, stress was distributed evenly. 3. Preparing bevel eliminated stress concentration much or less at line angle. 4. Model with round-shape distributed stress concentration more evenly than box-type model with sharp line angle, therefore decreased possibility of fracture. 5. Adding grooves to line angles had no effect of decreasing stress concentration to the area.

소아치과 임상에서 심미수복 재료로 널리 사용되고 있는 컴포머의 불소 유리양상과 수복물 인접 우식법랑질에 대한 재석회화 효과를 평가해 보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 음성 대조군으로 복합 레진인 Z-100을 I 군으로, 양성 대조군으로 글라스 아이오노머인 Fuji II LC를 IV군으로 설정하였으며, 실험군으로는 Dyract AP와 F-2000을 II군과 III군으로 설정하였다. 불소 유리량의 측정을 위하여 각 군에 따라 동일한 디스크를 제작하여 증류수에 담근 후 1일부터 14일까지 매일 측정하였다. 또한 협면이 건전한 우전치를 대상으로 인공 우식을 유발시킨 후 각 군별로 수복물을 충전한 다음 가철성 장치에 이를 부착하여 구강 내에서 2주간 유지시킴으로써 수복물 주위 우식법랑질에 대한 각 수복재의 재석회화 효과를 비교 평가하였다. I군은 불소 유리를 하지 않았으며, IV군에서 가장 높은 불소 유리량을 보였다(p<0.05). II군과 III군은 IV군보다 낮은 불소 유리량을 보였으며(p<0.05), III군이 II군보다 불소 유리량이 많았다(p<0.05). 편광 현미경 관찰 결과 모든 군에서 병소가 거의 소실되거나 흔적만 남아있는 양상이 다수 관찰되어 각 군 공히 상당한 재석회화가 일어났음을 보여주었다. 한편, I군과는 달리 II, III, IV 군에서는 수복물의 변연부에 Inhibition zone이 두드러지게 나타났으며, II, III, IV 군으로 갈수록 재석회가 충실한 양상을 보여주었다. 미세경도 측정 결과 우식부위가 대조부위보다 전반적으로 낮게 나타났으나 II, III, IV 군의 경우 수복물 인접부의 미세경도치는 대조부의 수치와 유사하게 나타났으며 수복물 변연에서 멀어지면서 감소하는 양상을 보였다.

This paper investigates the static buckling behaviours of Functionally Gradient Polymeric Material (FGPM) shells in the form of hemispherical segment. A new FGPM model based on experimental was considered to investigate the buckling problem of thin-walled spherical shells loaded by the external pressure. The spherical shells were formed by FGPM which was produced adding the two types of graphite powders into epoxy resin. The graphite powders were added to the epoxy resin as volume of 3, 6, 9, and 12%. Halpin-Tsai and Paul models were used to determine the elastic moduli of the parts of FGPM. The detailed static buckling analyses were performed by using finite element method. The influences of the types and volume of graphite powders on the buckling behaviour of the FGPM structures were investigated. The buckling loads of hemispherical FGPM shells based on Halpin-Tsai and Paul models were compared with those determined from the analytical solution of non-graphite condition existing for homogeneous material model. The comparisons between these material models showed that Paul model was overestimated. Besides, the critical buckling loads were predicted. The higher critical buckling loads were estimated for the PV60/65 graphite powder due to the compatible of the PV60/65 graphite powder with resin.

This study was to find a way of reusing wood and plastic wastes, which considered as a troublesome problem to be solved in this age of mass production and consumption, in manufacturing wood fiber-polypropylene fiber composite panel. And the feasibility of this composite panel as a substitute for existing headliner base panel of automobile was also discussed, especially based on physical and mechanical performance. Nonwoven web composite panels were made from wood fiber and polypropylene fiber formulations of 50 : 50, 60 : 40, and 70 : 30, based on oven-dry weight, with densities of 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7 g/$cm^3$. At the same density levels, control fiberboards were also manufactured for performance comparison with the composite panels. Their physical and mechanical properties were tested according to ASTM D 1037-93. To elucidate thickness swelling mechanism of composite panel through the observation of morphological change of internal structures, the specimens before and after thickness swelling test by 24-hour immersion in water were used in scanning electron microscopy. Test results in this study showed that nonwoven web composite panel from wood fibers and polypropylene fibers had superior physical and mechanical properties to control fiberboard. In the physical properties of composite panel, dimensional stability improved as the content of polypropylene fiber increased, and the formulation of wood fiber and polypropylene fiber was considered to be a significant factor in the physical properties. Water absorption decreased but thickness swelling slightly increased with the increase of panel density. In the mechanical properties of composite panel, the bending modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) appeared to improve with the increase of panel density under all the tested conditions of dry, heated, and wet. The formulation of wood fiber and polypropylene fiber was considered not to be a significant factor in the mechanical properties. All the bending MOR values under the dry, heated, and wet conditions met the requirements in the existing headliner base panel of resin felt.
