Mechanical Properties Of Polymer Infiltrated Ceramic Network Materials

Dental restorative materials with high mechanical properties and biocompatible performances are promising.

Mechanical properties of polymer infiltrated ceramic network materials.

Four ceramic network densities ranging from 59 to 72 of theoretical density resin infiltrated picn as well as pure polymer and dense ceramic cross sections were subjected to vickers indentations hv 5 for hardness evaluation. Of a range of novel polymer infiltrated ceramic network picn materials. Dental restorative materials with high mechanical properties and biocompatible performances are promising. In this work polymer infiltrated ceramic network materials picns were fabricated via infiltrating polymerizable monomers into porous ceramic networks and incorporated with hydroxyapatite nano powders.

Four ceramic network densities ranging from 59 to 72 of theoretical density resin infiltrated picn as well as pure polymer and dense ceramic cross sections were subjected to vickers indentations hv 5 for hardness. Comparing the results to natural teeth a very promising step toward imitating natural teeth has been realized with picns which was also reported by he and swain. In this work polymer infiltrated ceramic network materials picns were fabricated via. The flexural strength and elastic modulus were measured using three point bending.
