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 using sectional teflon molds. A nanofilled composite was chosen. After the preparation specimens were divided into three subgroups randomly. After profilometric measurements, representative samples of the mentioned finishing procedures were selected and SEM analyses were carried out.
Results: Mylar strip group was statistically different from the other two groups (P<.05). The smoothest surfaces occurred when composite resin samples were light cured against the strips. On the other hand there was no statistical difference between fiber-reinforced resin burs and Sof-Lex discs (P>.05). For fiber-reinforced resin burs scratches and pitting which may be due to plucking of the filler particles during finishing were observed on the surface topography of the composite resin material. On the other hand, for the Sof-Lex discs although scratches were noticed on the surface topography, no pitting was observed.
Conclusions: Fiber-reinforced resin burs can be preferred for the grinding of composite surplus in interproximal surfaces, where the use of Sof-Lex discs can be harmful to soft tissues.

This research aims to improve the accuracy of cutting fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) utilizing CO2 laser processing techniques, with a particular focus on carbon-glass fiber-reinforced hybrid composites (CGFRP) using epoxy resin. Establishing CO laser machining as a dependable and effective process for creating superior CGFRP components is the main goal. This research intends to optimize laser machining parameters to enhance surface quality and machining efficiency for these composites by a thorough parametric analysis.

Due to increasing mobility and energy conservation needs, improving bus and coach safety without adding weight is essential. Many crashes with fatal outcomes for vehicle occupants are associated with the rollover of the vehicle, revealing the structural weakness of the steel pillars between windows, which must resist high levels of bending during rollovers. This study aims to reinforce these pillars with expired carbon fiber prepreg from the aircraft industry, improving safety and reducing environmental waste.

Carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites (CFRP) demonstrate superior wear resistance and fatigue durability, which are anticipated to markedly enhance the service life of structures under complex conditions. In the present paper, the friction behaviors and wear mechanisms of CFRP under different applied loads, sliding speeds, service temperatures, and water lubrication were studied and analyzed in detail. The results indicated that the tribological properties of CFRP were predominantly influenced by the applied loads, as the tangential displacement generated significant shear stress at the interface of the friction pair.

Interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and compressive strength are two of the most critical properties of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). In this report, three types of epoxy resins-4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane epoxy resin (AG-80), bisphenol A epoxy resin (E-1NT), and novolac epoxy (EPN)-were studied. E-1NT is characterized by low viscosity and low cost but exhibits poor mechanical properties, while AG-80 offers better wetting with carbon fiber.
