Coir fiber (CF), a renewable natural plant fiber, is more competitive in improving poor toughness and crack resistance of magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) than artificial fibers, due to its slight energy consumptions and low costs in production and waste treatment. In this paper, a typical three-point bending test was carried out to study the effects of CF length on MPC flexural properties. A total of forty-two cuboid specimens were employed to investigate the flexural strength, load-deflection behavior, and flexural toughness of MPC, with CF lengths varying from 0 to 30 mm at the curing age of 7 days and 28 days. Results showed that, at both two curing ages, MPC flexural strength first increased with CF length increasing, and then deceased when CF length exceeded the threshold. However, with the increase of CF length, MPC flexural toughness increased continuously, while MPC elastic modulus displayed a decreasing trend. Additionally, Modern micro testing techniques, such as scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), were also used to study the microstructure and phase compositions of specimens for further explaining the themicroscopic mechanism.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how adding antimicrobial agents DMAHDM and/or MPC to PMMA dental resins impacts their mechanical properties, like flexural strength and surface hardness.
- - Results showed that adding these agents generally decreased flexural strength and surface hardness in heat-polymerized materials, while slightly improving flexural strength in 3D-printed materials but still reducing surface hardness.
- - The researchers concluded that careful optimization of these agents' concentrations is essential to preserve the mechanical integrity of the materials.

Statement Of Problem: Studies on the effect of barium silicate on the material properties of additively manufactured (AM) resins containing 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) for dental applications are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the mechanical properties, transmittance, and protein adsorption of MPC-containing AM resin incorporated with different barium silicate contents and to compare these findings with those of a commercially available unfilled AM resin marketed for definitive restorations.
Material And Methods: Resins incorporating 6 wt% MPC and 4 different concentrations of barium silicate (10 wt%, MB10; 20 wt%, MB20; 30 wt%, MB30; and 40 wt%, MB40) were prepared.

Study on the Compressive and Flexural Properties of Coconut Fiber Magnesium Phosphate Cement Curing at Different Low Temperatures.

The incorporation of coconut fiber (CF) into magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) can effectively improve upon its high brittleness and ease of cracking. In practical engineering, coconut fiber-reinforced magnesium phosphate cement (CF-MPC) will likely work in cold environments. Therefore, it is essential to understand the effects of various types of low-temperature curing on CF-MPC performances, but there are very few studies in this area.
