Fiber Reinforced Concrete01:22

Fiber Reinforced Concrete

64
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...

Reinforcements in Concrete

66
Reinforced concrete is a composite material used extensively in construction, combining the compressive strength of concrete with the tensile strength of steel. This synergy is essential as concrete, while excellent at resisting compression, is weak under tension. Steel bars, or rebars, are embedded in the concrete to handle these tensile forces. The choice of steel is strategic; it shares a similar coefficient of thermal expansion with concrete, which ensures uniformity in response to...

Composite Masonry Walls01:18

Composite Masonry Walls

557
Composite masonry walls combine multiple wythes of the same or different masonry materials to create a unified structure. These walls feature wythes that are bonded together either through mortar-filled collar joints, grouted spaces, or more commonly, with rigid metal ties and reinforcements, with the use of masonry header units being rare. Metal ties are preferred because they effectively minimize water penetration, as these walls primarily absorb moisture and then release it into the...

Mortar Properties01:17

Mortar Properties

103
Mortar properties encompass a range of characteristics crucial for construction and masonry work, including workability, water retention, bond strength, durability, compressive strength, volume change, and appearance. Workability refers to mortar's ability to be easily applied and manipulated without sagging or falling off surfaces, which is important for efficient masonry unit placement and alignment. Water retention is essential to prevent the mortar from losing moisture too quickly to...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry

Background:

  • Dental resin composites are widely used direct-placement restorative materials.
  • Improving photopolymerization efficiency and mechanical properties of resin matrix remains a challenge.
  • Novel monomers and polymer network formations can enhance composite performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop robust dental composite materials using tetraurethane diacrylates (TUDAs) with novel urethane linkage configurations and acidic comonomers.
  • To validate the performance of these new formulations through reaction kinetics and mechanical testing.
  • To optimize resin formulations for high reactivity and mechanical properties before filler addition.

Main Methods:

  • Exploratory approach using reaction kinetics and three-point bend testing.
  • Measurement of conversion and mechanical properties to refine formulations.
  • Incorporation of silane-treated particulate filler into optimized resin formulations.

Main Results:

  • Initial formulations showed excellent dry mechanical properties but poor water resistance.
  • A model study using urethane diacrylate (UDA) followed by hydrophobic TUDA monomers improved water tolerance.
  • The final formulation with hydrophobic aromatic TUDA, 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitic anhydride (4-META), acrylic acid (AA), and methacrylic acid (MAA) demonstrated high reactivity and mechanical properties.

Conclusions:

  • Novel TUDA-based formulations can significantly enhance dental composite materials.
  • Optimized hydrophobic TUDAs and acidic comonomers lead to superior reactivity and mechanical properties.
  • The developed formulation offers a promising alternative to current dental composite restoratives.
