Flexural properties and swelling after storage in water of polyacid-modified composite resin (compomer)
Abstract:
The flexural properties, flexural strength, flexural modulus and modulus of resilience, of four commercially available compomers, and one resin-modified glass ionomer cement and one microfilled resin comosite (as controls) immediately after light-activation and after 1 week of water storage were tested to assess the mechanical properties. The water swelling after storage in water was also tested to assess the characteristics in water of compomers. The flexural test showed compomers to be statistically stronger and more resilient than the resin-modified glass ionomer cement or the microfilled composite, when tested immediately after light-activation and after 1 week of water storage. Water swelling of compomers was statistically less than the resin-modified glass ionomer cement after 1 week of water storage.

For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in ASTM C...
