OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the thickness of resin-matrix composite blocks manufactured by CAD-CAM on the light transmittance towards different resin-matrix cements or flowable composites. METHODS: Sixty specimens of resin-matrix composite CAD-CAM blocks reinforced with 89 wt% inorganic fillers were cross-secti...
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the light transmission through five different resin-matrix composites regarding the inorganic filler content. METHODS: Resin-matrix composite disc-shaped specimens were prepared on glass molds. Three traditional resin-matrix composites contained inorganic fillers at 74, 80, and 89 wt. % whi...
Three composite bronzes reinforced with steel dendrites from steels of different classes, which perform the function of a bearing surface in sliding friction, are studied. The chemical compositions of the dendrites and of the matrix are determined as a function of the heat treatment of bronze BrZhNOA 12-7-2-1. The fine structure of dendrites in bro...
In this study, a constraint ring around a workpiece was employed in order to develop back pressure in addition to a compressive die pressure in high-pressure torsion (HPT) process. The influence of the constraint ring during the HPT process was analyzed using the finite element method and experimental analyses. Greater back pressure was developed w...
As for the molded lens applications of ternary Ge-Sb-Se glass, Ge-rich compositions are normally preferable since thermal and mechanical properties are better in these compositions. In an effort to explicate thermal properties of such glasses suitable for practical molding process, we have evaluated their compositional dependence of glass transitio...
Bleaching treatments can affect on the polymer network of dental composites. This study was performed to evaluate the influence of different bleaching treatments on the elution of composite components. / publisher: Elsevier articletitle: Effect of Opalescence® bleaching gels on the elution of dental composite components journaltitle: Dental Materia...
It is difficult to densify and consolidate round-shaped metallic powders by conventional compaction techniques because powder interlocking forces are small and the powders easily slip and rotate instead of being plastically deformed and densified. In this paper, atomized Cu (99.5 % purity) powders of round shapes were cold consolidated to bulk spec...
