Flexural strength of composites: influences of polyethylene fiber reinforcement and type of composite
Main problem ::: The microfill veneering of hybrid composite restorations has been indicated to improve esthetics. Also, polyethylene fiber reinforcement has been proposed for use in composite restorations in high-stress clinical situations. However, minimal information in the literature addresses the influence of such combinations on the resistance to fracture. The purpose of this study was to investigate the flexural strength of two composites, a microfill and a hybrid, the effect of their combination, and the influence of polyethylene fiber reinforcement.
A fluorinated elastomer composition exhibiting a less weight change in all plasma processings, including NF3 plasma processing, O 2 plasma processing and CF4 plasma processing, performed in the process of semiconductor manufacturing, thus having striking resistance to plasma. There is further provided a molding of the fluorinated elastomer composition.
