Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Fiber-reinforced concrete significantly enhances the structural and nonstructural properties of traditional concrete by incorporating fibers like steel, glass, and polymers. These fibers, varying from natural ones such as sisal and cellulose to manufactured ones like polypropylene and Kevlar, are mixed into hydraulic cement with aggregates. Steel fibers, often preferred for their robustness, contribute to improved ductility, toughness, and post-cracking performance. The concrete is classified...

Background:

Traditional Computer-Aided-Design/Computer-Aided-Machining (CAD/CAM) dental materials include ceramics and resin composites.
These materials face limitations in mechanical strength and fracture resistance.
Novel composite materials are being explored to overcome these limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the mechanical properties of a novel three-dimensional (3D)-woven noncrimp fiber-reinforced composite (FRC).
To compare the performance of this 3D-woven FRC against various commercial CAD/CAM dental materials.
To assess machinability and fracture resistance of the 3D-woven FRC.

Main Methods:

3D-woven FRC was processed using vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding with vinyl-ester resin.
Mechanical testing was performed in the main XY plane.
Samples were compared to ceramic (e.g., Vitablock Mark II®, InCeram®) and resin-based composites, along with control materials.

Main Results:

The 3D-woven FRC exhibited statistically significant improvements in flexural strength, resilience, work of fracture, strain energy release, critical stress intensity factor, and strain compared to all tested CAD/CAM dental materials.
Mechanical properties were evaluated in the principal directions of the XY plane.
Machinability and fracture resistance were assessed through minimum-depth cuts.

Conclusions:

The 3D-woven FRC demonstrates superior mechanical performance over existing CAD/CAM dental materials.
This advanced composite shows potential for improved durability and fracture resistance in dental restorations.
Further research into its clinical application and long-term performance is warranted.
