Esstech, a biomedical materials company, has found evidence that its novel line of Exothane elastomers fared better than traditional polymeric matrix resins used in dental composites. Esstech's ...

For decades, nanoparticles have been introduced into polymerizable resins to form composites that combine the desired physical and mechanical properties of the constituent phases. However, the ...

In a comparison of four composite resins, SureFil SDR (Dentsply) and Filtek LS (3M ESPE) produced the lowest residual strain on a restored tooth, according to research presented at the recent ...

Light curing of white resin fillings have been a heavily researched topic for Dalhousie’s Dr. Richard Price. However, the negative impact of under curing resin fillings is not generally well known. Dr ...

Points out that the use of dental amalgam as a restorative is declining. Explains that many practitioners remain reluctant to use resin composites in posterior teeth but attitudes vary internationally ...

In the race to provide faster, less expensive manufacturing techniques for things like satellites, there’s a new player in the game: 4D printing of composite materials. Essentially, 4D printing is ...

“Because MoldTru LPT-68000 resin’s unique chemistry produces very low exotherm heat, up to five layers of tooling laminate can be built simultaneously without causing surface distortion,” explained ...

Manufacturers benefit from advanced numerical simulations developed at the Bristol Composites Institute. Composite materials such as carbon-fibre reinforced polymers are important for large aerospace ...
