The new compound fits between Pebax thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), a brand from supplier Arkema, and nylon 11. Foster Corp. develops compounds for use in minimally invasive devices; the compounder is ...

Various 3D printing systems for interim fixed dental restorations are commercially available. This study aimed to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of 3D printed resins used for interim ...

Objectives: The flexural strength and elastic modulus of rapidly prototyped denture base materials are affected by numerous factors including reinforcement with nanoparticles (NPs) and post-curing ...

Purpose: To investigate the effect of the application of a glycerin gel on the surface of 3D printing resins (3DPRs) samples as a physical barrier, avoiding the inhibition layer formation caused by ...

Microscopists often wish – and intuit – that the microstructures that they measure correlate somehow to bulk properties. However, this correlation can be hard to measure. Machine learning, in ...

Researchers have found in a new study that flowable short fiber–reinforced resin composite demonstrated significantly higher ...

Neocartilage constructs were fabricated from expanded human septal chondrocytes cultured in differentiation medium for 10 weeks. Constructs (n = 10) and native septal cartilage (n = 5) were tested in ...

This video demonstrates a three-point flexural bend test performed on plastics using an ADMET universal testing machine equipped with a three-point bend fixture. ASTM D790 is a standard test method ...
