A metal-resin composite material was experimentally prepared by mixing a powder consisting of Ag-Cu particles and BPO with a paste consisting of UDMA-based monomer and 4-META in the absence of tertiary amine. The working time and setting time were mainly affected by the amounts of 4-META, BPO and metal particles, most of them fulfilling the requirements for working time and setting time specified in ISO 4049:2000 in the present experimental conditions. The flexural strength ranged from 49.6 MPa to 77.8 MPa, and the highest value was obtained when the 4-META concentration was high and metal particle content was low. The flexural modulus of elasticity, ranging from 6.7 GPa to 11.9 GPa, significantly increased as the 4-META concentration and metal particle content increased. Based on its mechanical properties, this metal-resin composite in which metal particles are involved in the polymerization initiation system has the potential to be used as a dental restorative material.

Achieving color match between natural teeth and restorative materials is crucial in dentistry. Factors such as the light source, brightness, and opacity influence tooth color, determined by light absorption and scattering within the material. Advances in CAD/CAM systems have enhanced prosthodontic treatments, particularly with new temporary materials, but data on their color stability and masking ability remains limited.

This work investigates experimentally and numerically frontal polymerization in a thermally anisotropic system with parallel copper strips embedded in 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate resin. Both experiments and multiphysics finite element analyses reveal that the front propagation in the thermally anisotropic system is orientation-dependent, leading to variations in the front shape and the front velocity due to the different front-metal strip interaction mechanisms along and across the metal strips. The parameters entering the cure kinetics model used in this work are chosen to capture the key characteristics of the polymerization front, i.

Background: Due to limited aesthetics of stainless-steel crowns, the demand for tooth-coloured crowns has recently risen. Few studies have investigated the marginal integrity and wear behaviour of tooth-coloured primary molar crowns under subcritical load in vitro.

Aim: This in vitro study evaluated the marginal quality and wear of newly introduced resin composite and hybrid ceramic crowns compared with metal and zirconia crowns.

Metal-resin composites provide improved combinations of mechanical properties of raw materials. A novel metal-resin interpenetrating phase composite (IPCs) has been fabricated by spontaneously infiltrating unsaturated polyester resin into porous short-fiber preforms under vacuum conditions. In this study, three-point bending experiments are performed to characterize the bending properties of the IPCs.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza virus are the most significant pathogens causing respiratory tract diseases. Composite vaccines are useful in reducing the number of vaccination and confer protection against multiple infectious agents. In this study, we generated fusion of RSV G protein core fragment (amino acid residues 131 to 230) and influenza HA1 globular head domain (amino acid residues 62 to 284) as a dual vaccine candidate.
