Flexural strength and stiffness are not basic material properties. They are the combined effects of a material’s basic tensile, compressive and shear properties. That is, when a flexural loading is ...

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

Universal testing machines outfitted with bend fixtures are used in calculating flexural strength, flexural modulus, yield point, and more. This article will explore the requisite equipment for ...

An alternative to solve the problem is to incorporate some types of monomers to PMMA. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using various types of monomers in polymeric dental materials to ...

Although plastics have only been used for around 100 years, they have become essential to everyday life. They are employed in almost every industry and application, including packaging, healthcare, ...
