Abstract:

A high extractive-content temperate conifer wood (Pinus elliottii) was examined as a pulpwood source by organosolv pulping. Particularly, the behavior of the resin- and fatty acids during the lignin solvolysis process was studied in detail. For this purpose the resin-and fatty acids were characterized in the wood, and after pulping trials in order to reveal their fate during pulping, using catalyzed 80% aqueous alcohol (methanol) as solvent. Wood extractives were removed by both methanolic cold maceration and Soxhlet extraction techniques. The resin-and fatty acid fractions thus collected were saponified and/or methylated and characterized by gas liquid chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). No significant differences were found in regard to extraction efficiencies between the two types of cold extractions. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between these two types of cold extractions in comparison with the procedure described by TAPPI standard T 204 os-76. Pulping experiments were performed at 205°C for periods of 5, 20, 40, and 60 min. Lignins, which precipitated on cooling of the black liquor (Lignin fraction I), were set aside for further extractions and chemical analyses. The molecular weight distribution of these lignins was determined by size exclusion chromatography on an HPLC and their quantity was determined either gravimetrically or volumetrically. Precipitated Lignin Fraction I, suspected of containing some adsorbed extractives and some fiber fragments, was transferred to a tared crucible. The lignin and extractives were sequentially dissolved by using tetrahydrofuran (THF), acetone and methanol. This solution was evaporated, the residue redissolved in methanol-water (80:20) and the solution liquid-liquid extracted with diethyl ether in a separatory funnel followed by methylation prior to GC and GC-MS analysis. Quantification of the resin- and fatty acids in the wood and those recovered after organosolv pulping was performed using an internal standard (methyl heptadecanoate) added prior to the extraction steps. The extractives dissolved in the black liquor were isolated by a ternary liquid-liquid extraction scheme using diethyl ether, methylated with fresh diazomethane, and the resin- and fatty acids methyl esters characterized by GC and GC-MS. The extractives present in the pulp were isolated (removed) by a Soxhlet extraction procedure with methanol and" the resin- and fatty acids fractions characterized as above. Resin- and fatty acids surviving the high-temperature pulping process, were found mainly in the black liquor. After the 60 min cook, the black liquor contained 78.1% and 71.6% of resin- and fatty acids, respectively, while the pulp retained 11.7% and 8.2%, respectively of the extractives originally present in wood. "Lignin fraction I" adsorbed 10.2% and 20.2% of the resin- and fatty acids, respectively. Contrarily, if all of the lignin is precipitated (Lignin fraction II). prior to liquid/liquid extraction of the black liquor with diethyl ether, 98% and 60.4% of the resin- and fatty acids co-precipitate with the lignin and 2.0% and 39.6%, respectively, remain dissolved in the aqueous filtrate. Industrial organosolv lignin isolated after solvent pulping of pine was thus shown to contain most (98%) of the resin acids and 39.6% of the fatty acids normally found in pines. Although not tested, it is supposed that lignins isolated by precipitation from the black liquor after organosolv pulping of other species cannot be considered as "pristine lignins" as described hitherto in the technical literature, since such lignins are heavily contaminated by the extractives of the wood species. In light of these findings all data on chemical and physical characterization of organosolv lignins and their reactivity will have to be reexamined and reassessed to remove the effect of the extractives as contaminants.

Abstract:

The invention of dental resin based-composites (RBCs) has provided a broad range of materials for the restoration of load-bearing posterior teeth with excellent clinical results and adequate longevity. Currently, a lack of consensus exists among researchers regarding classification of RBCs as a result of slight variations in filler size and associated interchangeable mechanical properties of “microhybrid”, “nanohybrid” and “nanofilled” RBCs. Also, the inconsistency in mechanical property testing of RBCs is evident amongst researchers. This research explored the variability in experimental and statistical testing methodologies of RBCs. The current study identified a wide variation in the bi-axial flexure strength (BFS) of commercial and experimental RBCs with respect to deformation rate with a complex relationship between resin constituents and filler morphology. Experimental unfilled resins revealed deformation rate dependence in BFS following 1 week dry, 1 and 13 weeks wet storage regimes, whereas the addition of fillers modified the deformation rate dependence following 13 weeks wet storage and resulted in the BFS of filled resin composites being independent of testing speed. These findings suggested the need for the development of RBCs with appropriate formulations for clinical situations where variable strain rates may occur, for example, patients with parafunctional habits. To date, the alignment of specimens during storage regimes prior to mechanical property testing has rarely been reported. The effect of specimen alignment on the BFS and surface hardness of RBCs was evaluated and a greater decrease in the both properties were found following wet upright compared with stacked and upper surface exposed alignments. These observations were attributed to a variation in diffusion of water as the result of difference in exposed surface areas of specimens, which may lead to different findings and associated interpretation between investigators. Weibull statistics are used for the analysis of strength data of RBCs, however their applicability to RBCs might be questioned due to some viscous deformation prior to brittle failure. The findings of current study supported the applicability of Weibull statistics for the microhybrid and nanofilled RBCs but not a flowable RBC, which suggested that Weibull statistics may not necessarily be applicable for all RBC types. It was demonstrated that variability and irrelevance in testing methods may cause incorrect interpretation of data among researchers and consequently affect the future research and development of RBCs. Therefore, further standardisation of testing methods is required.

Abstract:

The use of composite materials in large primary structures such as wind turbine blades and boat hulls has dramatically increased in recent years. As these structures get larger, new manufacturing processes are required to make them possible. Larger parts also require more expensive tooling, and a higher cost for scrapped parts. This may prohibit the trial and error approach that has been used for many years. The need for accurate process modeling in the design of tooling is becoming essential. Unfortunately, as the processes become more complex so do the models. Although there are several potential processes capable of producing very large parts (10 m - 50 m), they all have one common feature. In order to alleviate the problem of forcing the resin to flow large distances though the fabric, they use a distribution system to spread the resin over the surface of the part. The resin then flows a substantially shorter distance between the channels or through the thickness. The goal of this work was to develop a modeling technique that could accurately model these processes, yet not so complex as to loose its utility. In this study, the flows through the different regions of the mold are examined individually. These regions include the injection system, the distribution channel, and the fabric. The governing equations for each region are then combined to form a comprehensive model that accounts for the flow through each region simultaneously. A series of tests were conducted to verify the models of the individual components, as well as the comprehensive model. The rate limiting step through the fabric was also examined in detail. The model correlated well with the experiments performed, and revealed critical information about these types of processes. A major conclusion is that an accurate and straightforward model can be created for large scale processes, using the small scale bench tests performed in this study. Also, the governing equations developed here from Darcy flow and Stokes flow aid in understanding how the scaling of key parameters affects the process as a whole. Variations in the geometry of the channel, the fabric thickness and fabric properties such as permeability and compressibility can be accounted for in the model.

Abstract:

The design and mechanical performance of a helicopter horizontal stabilizer slat made by resin transfer moulding (RTM) can be evaluated with finite element analysis (FEA). To verify the validity of the assumptions used in the modelling of the slat structure, static mechanical tests were performed on prototype slats which were half of the full-size length. The slat complex boundary conditions were simplified to make static mechanical testing possible. Two fixtures were designed and built to introduce simplified loads in specimens with two different bracket configurations: a full and a half bracket. A finite element (FE) model of the specimens was made with shell elements and the finite element solution was compared with the experimental results. In most cases, comparison between the finite element analysis solution and experimental results showed good agreement in terms of structure stiffness, strength, strain and damage location. It is believed that out-of-plane stresses should be considered to improve the finite element solution accuracy.
Le design et la performance mécanique d’un bec de bord d’attaque de stabilisateur horizontal d’hélicoptère fabriqué par moulage par injection sur renfort (« resin transfer moulding ») peuvent être évalués par des analyses par éléments finis. Pour vérifier la validité des hypothèses utilisées dans la modélisation du bec de bord d’attaque, des essais mécaniques ont été effectués sur des prototypes demi-longueurs. Les conditions frontières complexes ont été simplifiées pour rendre les essais mécaniques possibles. Deux gabarits ont été conçus et construits pour introduire les chargements simplifiés dans les pièces d’essai possédant deux configurations de support: un support complet et un demi-support. Un modèle par éléments finis des pièces d’essai a été réalisé avec des éléments de type membrane et la solution est comparée avec les résultats expérimentaux. Dans la plupart des cas, la comparaison entre la solution par éléments finis et les résultats expérimentaux coïncide concernant la rigidité de la structure, la résistance, l’allongement et la localisation de l’endommagement. Les contraintes hors du plan devraient être considérées pour améliorer la précision de la solution par éléments finis.

Serial sectioning is a process whereby fixed tissue is embedded in a polymer to preserve structure and is then sliced into very thin sections as small as 25nm. Currently, there is a lack of understanding of this embedding material, preventing accurate and clean slicing at this level of precision. This thesis focuses on performing tensile tests to determine some of the material properties-elastic modulus, ultimate tensile strength, yield strength-of the epoxy resin used to embed fixed brain tissue. These results will be used in cutting models and help guide the development of a next-generation cutting instrument for automated serial sectioning of tissue. Ultimately, this machine will make it possible to section and image large volumes of brain tissue, leading to further understanding of neural activity and mechanisms behind cognition and tissue disease. This understanding will make it possible to develop treatments for currently untreatable neural diseases and disorders. This research involves creating a streamlined tensile testing procedure for the embedding epoxy resin, EMBed-812, as well as the analysis of tensile tests. The elastic modulus, ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and percent elongation at break of EMBed-812 were found to be 4.24 +/- 0.27 GPa, 44.8 +/- 4.0 MPa, 17.2 +/- 2.6 MPa, and 3.73 +/- 1.27%, respectively. This testing process can be improved and further work is suggested.

Full text

Abstract:

The Fully Encapsulated Resin Bolt (FERB) is widely utilised for strata control and ground support in civil and mining applications worldwide, with approximately 6 million installed per annum by the Australian coal mining industry. Independent studies have concluded that 30-35% of these rockbolts, which represents an annual expenditure of $40 million, are ineffective. The anchorage and failure mechanisms of FERB are yet to be quantified, and support systems are designed primarily from empirical rather than scientific methods. There are no standardised methods of assessing FERB components, installation techniques and support behaviour. The majority of research into FERB support systems remains commercial intellectual property, with little information released into the public domain. This thesis investigated several variables of FERB support systems, and also examined differences between field and laboratory pull-out test load distributions. This research was conducted in two phases, with Phase 1 seeking standardised methodology and repeatability in results, while Phase 2 further refined Phase 1 methods and extended the range of tests. The results in both phases were encouraging, with reasonable repeatability attained in all testing series. The findings included: ??? Annulus Thickness: There was little change in load capacity with small annulus thickness, however the maximum peak load (MPL) significantly reduced once annulus thickness exceeded 4mm ??? Resin Installation Spin Time: Underspinning of cartridge resin was found to have an insignificant effect on rockbolt load/deformation characteristics. Overspinning, however, led to a dramatic reduction in anchorage performance with a lessening in both MPL and stiffness ??? Rockbolt Load Transfer: The magnitude of an applied load reduced to zero along the length of the rockbolt, being greatest nearest the rock free surface (the point of load application). An exponential reduction was found when tested in the manner of laboratory tests, with the loading jack reacting against the free surface. This reduction was linear when the load was applied as in the field, with no load placed on the free surface This basic investigation into FERB support systems has validated many empirical understandings of rockbolts, while highlighting the need for further testing into several key areas.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to investigate and compare the properties of two layer carbon epoxy composite plates manufactured using various resin impregnation techniques
Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), Light RTM (LRTM), Vacuum Assisted RTM (VARTM) and Vacuum Packaging (VP). Throughout the study a different packaging method was developed and named Modified Vacuum Packaging (BP). The mechanical properties of composite plates manufactured are examined by tensile tests, compressive tests, in-plane shear tests and their thermal properties are examined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) tests. All tests were performed according to suitable ASTM standards. The performance of specimens from each process was observed to vary according to the investigated property
however the VP process showed the highest performance for most properties. For most of the tests, VARTM, LRTM and RTM methods were following VP process in terms of performance, having close results with each other.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), as potential additives, on the properties and performance of phenolâ formaldehyde (PF) adhesive resin. The steady-state viscosity of a commercial PF resol resin and three CNCâ resin mixtures, containing 1â 3 wt % CNCs, based on solids content, was measured with a rheometer as a function of shear rate. The viscosity of the PF resin itself was independent of shear rate. The viscosityâ shear rate curves of the CNCâ resin mixtures showed two regions, a shear thinning region at lower shear rates and a Newtonian region at higher shear rates. The low-shear-rate viscosity of the resin was greatly increased by the CNCs. The structure of the CNCâ resin mixtures under quiescent conditions was analyzed by polarized light microscopy. The mixtures contained CNC aggregates, which could be disrupted by ultrasound treatment. The curing progressions of the resin and CNCâ resin mixtures were analyzed by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The DSC curves showed two exotherms followed by an endotherm. The energy of activation for the first exotherm was reduced by the CNCs whereas the energy of activation for the second exotherm was not affected by the CNCs. Increasing CNC contents caused higher degrees of reaction conversion during the first curing stage and a greater loss of sample mass, attributed to formaldehyde release during resin cure. For analysis of the mechanical properties during and after cure, sandwich-type test specimens were prepared from southern yellow pine strips and the resin and CNCâ resin mixtures. The mechanical properties of the test specimens were measured as a function of time and temperature by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The time to incipient storage modulus increase decreased and the rate of relative storage modulus increase increased with increasing CNC content. The ultimate sample stiffness increased with increasing CNC content for CNC contents between 0 and 2 wt %, which was attributed to mechanical reinforcement of the resin by the CNCs. At a CNC content of 3 wt %, the ultimate sample stiffness was lower than at a CNC content of 2 wt % and the second tan Î´ maximum occurred earlier in the experiment, indicating an earlier onset of vitrification. The lower ultimate sample stiffness was attributed to premature quenching of the curing reactions through CNC-induced depression of the vitrification point. For analysis of the fracture performance, double cantilever beam test specimens were prepared from southern yellow pine beams and the resin and CNCâ resin mixtures, using different hot-pressing times. Fracture energies were measured by mode I cleavage tests. Bondline characteristics were analyzed by light microscopy. At a hot-pressing time of 10 min, the fracture energy decreased with increasing CNC content, whereas it stayed constant for CNC contents between 1 and 3 wt % at a hot-pressing time of 8 min. The bondlines of resin mixtures containing CNCs exhibited voids, whereas those of the pure resin did not. CNCs had both benefitial and detrimental effects on the properties and performace of PF resin.

Abstract:

Atualmente, existem cimentos resinosos que dispensam o uso prévio de sistemas adesivos (autoadesivos) e aliam as vantagens dos cimentos resinosos às dos cimentos não resinosos, sendo recomendados para todas as restaurações indiretas, inclusive a cimentação de pinos intrarradiculares. Devido à falta de conhecimento do comportamento desses cimentos perante as diferentes técnicas de manipulação e aplicação, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a força de retenção de 3 cimentos autoadesivos, quando empregados na cimentação de pinos intrarradiculares de fibra de vidro. Para isso, foram selecionados 45 caninos humanos, divididos aleatoriamente em três grupos (N=15) diferenciados pelos cimentos: Grupo I - BisCem (Bisco), Grupo II - Breeze (Pentron Clinical Technologies, LLC) e Grupo III Maxcem (Kerr). Esses grupos foram divididos em três subgrupos, variando a técnica de aplicação e de manipulação: Subgrupo A - Ponta automisturadora/Ponta aplicadora, Subgrupo B - Espatulação/Lentulo, Subgrupo C - Espatulação/Centrix. O teste de push-out foi realizado com uma velocidade de 1 mm/min, e a força de retenção foi expressa em Mega Pascal (MPa). O cimento Breeze apresentou os maiores resultados médios para os subgrupos A, B e C (12,27 ± 3,19 Mpa; 13,65 ± 2,51 MPa; 13,64 ± 3,65 MPa), quando comparados aos cimentos Biscem (7,25 ± 2,37 MPa; 13,37 ± 1,80 MPa; 9,48 ± 2,38 MPa), e Maxcem Elite (7,87 ± 1,12 MPa; 7,21 ± 1,43 MPa; 9,89 ± 1,43 MPa. Somente para o cimento Biscem houve diferença estatística significante entre seus subgrupos. Assim, pôde-se concluir que, de acordo com os resultados deste estudo, a técnica de aplicação e manipulação pode influenciar na resistência retentiva, dependendo do cimento autoadesivo utilizado.
Currently, there are resin cements that do not require prior use of adhesive systems (self-adhesive), and combine the advantages of resin cements with that of non-resin cements, and are recommended for all indirect restorations, including intraradicular cementation. Due to the lack of understanding about the behavior of these cements in the presence of the different handling and application techniques, the objective was to evaluate the retention strength of 3 self-adhesive cements, when used in cementing intra-radicular fiberglass posts. For this, 45 human canines were selected and divided randomly into three groups (N = 15) for different cements: roup I - Bisco (Bisco), Group II - Breeze (Pentron Clinical Technologies, LLC) and Group III - Maxcem (Kerr). These groups were divided into three sub-groups by varying the application and handling technique: Sub-group A - Automix/Point tip applicator, Sub-group B - Handmix/ Lentulo, Sub-group C Handmix/ Centrix. The test of push-out was performed with a speed of 1 mm / min, and the retention strength was expressed in Mega Pascal (MPa). The Breeze cement, showed the highest average for sub-groups A, B and C (12.27 ± 3.19 MPa, 13.65 ± 2.5 MPa, 13.64 ± 3.65 MPa)when compared to the Biscem cement (7.25 ± 2.37 MPa, 13.37 ± 1.80 MPa, 9.48 ± 2.38 MPa), and Maxcem Elite (7.87 ± 1.12 MPa, 7.21 ± 1 , 43 MPa, 9.89 ± 1.43 MPa. Only for the Biscem cement was there statistically significant difference between the sub-groups. Thus, one can conclude that according to the results of this study, the application and handling technique may influence the retentive strength depending on the self-adhesive cement used.

Abstract:

Avaliou-se a resistência de união do pino de fibra de vidro à dentina cimentado com quatro agentes cimentantes, por meio do teste push-out realizado após 24 horas e seis meses de armazenagem. Foram selecionados 80 dentes humanos uniradiculares, tratados endodonticamente e divididos aleatoriamente em quatro grupos (n=20), variando-se o tipo de cimento utilizado: grupo I: cimento de ionômero de vidro reforçado com resina (Fuji PlusTM, GC Corp., Tokyo, Japan); grupo II: cimento resinoso usando sistema adesivo convencional de 3 passos de aplicação (RelyX ARC + Scotchbond Multi-purpose, 3M ESPE, St Paul, MN, USA); grupo III: cimento resinoso usando sistema adesivo autocondicionante de 1 passo de aplicação (PanaviaTM F, Kuraray, Osaka, Japan); e grupo IV: cimento resinoso auto-adesivo (BisCemTM, Bisco Inc., Schaumburg, IL). Cada grupo foi subdividido em dois subgrupos (N=10) variando-se o tempo de armazenagem (24 horas e seis meses). O teste de push-out foi realizado com uma velocidade de 1,0 mm/min, e os resultados expressos em Mega Pascal (MPa). Após o teste de push-out, todos os espécimes foram observados em microscópio óptico de fluorescência (40x) e analisado o tipo de falha apresentado entre o complexo pino/cimento/dentina radicular. Os valores médios de resistência (MPa) foram submetidos ao teste ANOVA a dois critérios e de Tukey (p<0,005). A análise estatística mostrou: 1) Diferenças significativas na resistência de união entre os cimentos utilizados, sendo que a média total do cimento resinoso RelyXTM ARC + ScotchbondTM MultipurposeTM foi superior aos dos outros cimentos após 24 horas; 2) A resistência de união dos cimentos resinosos RelyXTM ARC + ScotchbondTM MultipurposeTM e PanaviaTM F foram superiores aos outros cimentos quando testados após seis meses de armazenagem e não houve diferença significativa entre eles; 3) Após seis meses de armazenagem, observou-se um aumento na resistência de união de todos os cimentos; 4) Na análise por terços, foi observado que tanto após 24 horas quanto após seis meses, o terço cervical teve uma maior resistência de união do que o terço médio e apical; 5) Foram observadas predominantemente falhas mistas, apresentado-se na maioria dos casos a combinação de falha adesiva na interface pino/cimento e na interface cimento/dentina para todos os grupos. Concluiu-se que a resistência de união aumentou após seis meses de armazenagem graças possivelmente à expansão higroscópica e aumento da retenção friccional.
The bond strength of a glass fiber post luted to dentin with four luting agents was evaluated using the push-out test, after 24-hours and six months of storage. Eighty human single-routed teeth was selected, endodontically treated and randomly divided into four groups (n=20), modifying the luting agent used: group I: resin modified glass-ionomer (Fuji PlusTM, GC Corp., Tokyo, Japan); group II: resin cement using total-etch, three step adhesive system (RelyX ARC + Scotchbond Multi-purpose, 3M ESPE, St Paul, MN, USA); group III: resin cement using self-etch one step adhesive system (PanaviaTM F, Kuraray, Osaka, Japan); and group IV: self-adhesive resin cement (BisCemTM, Bisco Inc., Schaumburg, IL). Each group was, then, subdivided into two subgroups (n=10) modifying the storage period (24-hours and six months). The push-out test was performed with a cross-speed of 1,0 mm/min, and the results expressed in Mega Pascal (MPa). After the test, all specimen interfaces were examined with the aid of a fluorescence optic microscope (40x) to dertemine the type of failure at the complex post/cement/dentin. The mean values of the bond strength (MPa) were analyzed with the two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (p<0,005). The statistical analysis showed: 1) Significant difference in the bond strength between the luting agents, in wich the mean total value of the resin cement RelyXTM ARC + ScotchbondTM MultipurposeTM was the highest after 24 hours; 2) The bond strength of the resin cement RelyXTM ARC + ScotchbondTM MultipurposeTM and PanaviaTM F were higher than the others luting agents when evaluated after six months, and there was no significant difference among both of them; 3) An increase in the bond strength of all luting agents after six months of storage in distilled water; 4) That the cervical third had a higher bond strength compared to the middle and apical thirds for all materials, during third analysis after 24-hours and six months of storage; 5) Predominantly, it was observed mixed failures, in the majority of the cases, with a combination of adhesive failure in the post/luting agent interface and in the luting agent/radicular dentin interface. Therefore, can be concluded that the bond strength of a glass fiber post luted to dentin with different luting agents can increase after six months of storage, possibly contributed by hygroscopic expansion and the increase of the frictional retention.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate some of the physico-chemical properties of a new root canal sealer. Methodology: The sealers tested were Sealer Plus (MKLife, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), compared as AH Plus (Dentsply, DeTrey GmbH, Konstanz, Alemanha). For the radiopacity, flow, solubility and fabrication of test specimens relative to setting times the ANSI/ADA No. 57 (2000) and ISO 6876 (2012) specifications were followed. To measure the initial and final setting times the ASTM C266/2008 standard was used. pH was evaluated in the time intervals of 3, 24, 72 and 168 hours). Statistical tests were applied to the results obtained at a level of significance of 5%. Results: The results demonstrated that the Sealer Plus sealer showed a lower radiopacity value than AH Plus sealer (p<0.05), however, this was higher than the minimum value recommended by the specifications; that is 3 mm Al. Relative to flow, the value for Sealer Plus was 19.19 mm and for AH Plus, 19.81 mm (p>0.05). Sealer plus presented initial and final setting times of 138 min. and 210 min., respectively, while the values for AH Plus were 437 min. and 849 min., respectively, (p<0.05). Relative to solubility, Sealer Plus presented 0.21% and AH Plus, 0.27% (p>0.05). None of the sealers showed a significant increase in pH (p>0.05). Conclusion: Sealer Plus sealer presented physico-chemical properties in accordance with ANSI/ADA (2000) No.57 and ISO 6876 (2012) specifications.

Abstract:

Résumé : Le développement des matériaux composites et leur utilisation dans le domaine du génie civil ont fait l’objet d’une recherche extensive sur le renforcement des structures en béton armé. Dans ce contexte, les études sur la compréhension du comportement structural des tubes en matériaux composites (Polymère renforcé en Fibre, PRF) sont indispensables. De fait que les matériaux composites sont innovateurs, cela nous exige de procéder à des investigations expérimentales approfondies pour vérifier les hypothèses et les théories, avant de les produire à échelle industrielle. Ce projet présente une étude expérimentale approfondie sur l’évaluation des propriétés physiques et mécaniques des nouveaux tubes en matériaux composites (PRF), et des tests sur la durabilité du matériau utilisé, et permet d’étudier l’influence de quelques facteurs environnementaux sur ces propriétés mécaniques, ces conditions sont simulées par une immersion prolongée en milieu aqueux et l'exposition à des cycles gel-dégel en milieu humide. Les tubes considérés sont produits par le procédé d’enroulement filamentaire à l’aide des fibres de verre (E) et de résine (Vinyle-Ester). Les expérimentations seront effectuées sur des échantillons normalisés prélevés à partir du tube. Les résultats de cette étude sont d’une importance cruciale pour comprendre le comportement structural (avant et après un vieillissement accéléré) des nouveaux tubes fabriqués entièrement en polymères renforcés de fibres par le procédé de l’enroulement filamentaire. // Abstract : The development of composite materials and their integration in the field of civil engineering has been the subject of extensive research on strengthening reinforced concrete structures. In the perspective of strengthening concrete structures by tubes made of composite materials. In this context, the need for knowledge of the structural behaviour of tubes made from fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials is prominent. The large using of innovativeFRP required extensive theoretical and experimental investigations. This project presents an experimental study to evaluate both the physical and mechanical properties of FRP-composites tubes, and to investigate the impact of some environmental factors on their mechanical properties. The tubes are produced by a filament winding process using fibre (E)-glass and vinyl-Ester resin. The experiments will be performed on standardized samples of the tube. The main objective of this project is to assess the physical and mechanical properties of laminated FRP composites, and then test the durability of the material used in the manufacture of the tubes. It leads to the study of the effects of some environmental factors on the mechanical properties of material. These conditions occur during an immersion in an aqueous medium and exposure to freeze-thaw cycles. The results of this study are crucial to understand the structural behavior (before and after accelerated aging) of new FRP tubes made by filament winding process.

Abstract:

Experimentation exploring the movement of voids within carbon fiber reinforced plastics was performed using fluorescent dye infused into the laminates observed through a transparent mold under ultraviolet light. In situ photography was used as an inspection method for void content during Resin Transfer Molding for these laminates. This in situ inspection method for determining the void content of composite laminates was compared to more common ex-situ quality inspection methods i.e. ultrasonic inspection and cross-section microscopy. Results for localized and total void count in each of these methods were directly compared to test samples and linear correlations between the three test methods were sought. Test coupons were then cut from these laminates and were used to calculate the interlaminar shear strength at certain locations throughout the laminates. Although this research did not adequately observe correlations between results obtained from ultrasonic C-scans, cross-sectional microscopy and in situ photography of the surface, it was seen that the fluid dynamics of the thermosetting epoxy used in this experimentation correlated to results obtained from previous experimentation performed by students at Brigham Young University using vegetable oil as a substitute for resin.

Abstract:

La littérature scientifique révèle que les résultats in vitro sur les matériaux dentaires ont une faible corrélation avec le comportement clinique. Les tests standardisés aux normes fournissent des informations précieuses et pertinentes sur les propriétés des matériaux dentaires, et permettent aussi de comparer les résultats de différents instituts. Cependant, le développement de nouveaux matériaux à partir de nouvelles formulations chimiques nécessite une amélioration des méthodes d'évaluation. Ce travail de recherche est réalisé dans le but d'approfondir les connaissances sur les méthodes d'évaluation des matériaux dentaires avant insertion dans la cavité buccale. Une grande importance a été donnée au choix des matériaux à tester ; nous nous sommes basés sur les dernières tendances actuelles et les derniers développements de composition de matériaux dentaires. La même importance a été donnée à des méthodes et des techniques d'essai au laboratoire ; leur corrélation avec les résultats cliniques a été mise en évidence. Les modifications apportées à la méthodologie de ces tests ont exploré davantage les aspects cachés des différentes interactions de paramètres. La caractérisation et l'évaluation des matériaux dentaires nécessitaient une meilleure compréhension de l'interaction entre les différentes propriétés pour expliquer le vieillissement des matériaux. Notre travail a consisté à combiner de nombreuses études pour répondre à ce sujet. Les études ont porté sur les propriétés mécaniques et physiques, le composite fibré et Bulk, les matériaux CAM CAD, les adhésifs dentaires, le choc thermique et le cyclage thermique, le bisphénol A. L'objectif final était de développer un simulateur oral qui permettrait la reproduction de différents paramètres chimiques, physiques et mécaniques de l'environnement buccal, permettant ainsi de combler l'écart entre les tests in vitro et in vivo de matériaux dentaires
Scientific literature reveals that in vitro results are poorly correlated to materials clinical behavior. ISO standardized testing provides valuable information about the dental materials properties, and enables result comparison between different institutes. Conversely, new materials chemistry and formulations requires improved methodology and testing methods. Throughout our studies included in this work, the main objective was to reach a more global knowledge of the way dental materials are evaluated before being inserted into the oral cavity. A great deal of emphasis was given to the choice of materials to be tested, and that it would represent the current trends in dental practice and the latest developments in material composition. Equal highlight was given to the choice of testing methodology and laboratory testing techniques and their correlation to the clinical outcome. The modifications made to the methodology of these tests explored further the concealed aspects of different parameter interactions. Dental materials characterization and assessment required more understanding about the interaction between different properties to explain material aging; our work was to combine numerous studies to answer this topic. The studies included mechanical and physical properties, bulk and fiber composite, CAD CAM block materials, dental resin adhesive, thermal shock and thermal cycling, Bisphenol A. The final objective was to develop an oral simulator that would enable the reproduction of different chemical, physical and mechanical parameters of the oral environment, thus permitting to bridge the gap between in vitro and in vivo testing of dental materials

Abstract:

Les transducteurs ultrasonores font l'objet de nombreux développements en contrôle non-destructif (CND) industriel. Utilisé ponctuellement et périodiquement, le CND ultrasonore permet d'établir des diagnostics sur la santé des matériaux. La caractérisation ultrasonore en temps réel constitue un outil de surveillance de l'évolution des propriétés physiques lors de la fabrication des matériaux composites. Dans ce contexte, des études sont menées au LOMC pour optimiser le procédé de fabrication des matériaux composites par RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) afin d’améliorer la qualité du produit. Ce travail de thèse consiste à développer des méthodes ultrasonores pour le suivi des propriétés viscoélastiques d’un composite pendant la phase de production. Les propriétés viscoélastiques sont étudiées à l’aide de modèles théoriques, de simulations numériques et de résultats expérimentaux. Des études de calibration ont été menées afin d’étudier les facteurs d’influence sur le suivi de propriétés ultrasonores lors de la mise en oeuvre d’un procédé RTM. Le suivi des paramètres viscoélastiques de résines époxy est effectué dans un premier temps à basse température au cours d'une polymérisation isotherme et d’une post-cuisson. Ensuite, une approche basée sur la méthode de caractérisation en émission/transmission a été développée afin d’étudier le comportement à haute température. La modélisation de la réponse électroacoustique par série de Debye (DSM) a été effectuée en se basant sur des approches analytiques. L’utilisation des transducteurs multiéléments permet la localisation et le dimensionnement de défauts lors du déplacement de fibres de carbone dans une résine liquide, entre des moules
The developments based on ultrasonic transducers are nowadays numerous in the industrial non-destructive testing (NDT). Used punctually and periodically, the ultrasonic NDT is used for health diagnostics of materials. Ultrasonic characterization in real time allows a physical properties monitoring during the manufacturing of composite materials. In this context, studies are conducted in LOMC in view to optimize the manufacturing process of composite materials using RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) in order to improve the product quality. This work consists to develop ultrasonic methods for the monitoring of viscoelastic properties during the production phase of composites. The viscoelastic properties are studied using theoretical models, numerical simulations and experimental measurements. Calibration studies were carried out to study the influencing factors on the monitoring of ultrasonic properties during the RTM process. The monitoring of viscoelastic parameters of epoxy resins is performed in a first time at low temperature during an isothermal polymerization and a post-curing. Then, an approach based on the transmission mode characterization was developed to study high-temperature behavior. Based on analytical approaches, the electroacoustic response was simulated by Debye series method (DSM). The use of phased array transducers was investigated for the location and sizing of defects during the movement of the carbon fiber in a liquid resin between the molds

Abstract:

The processability of a resin in film blowing is strongly influenced by its flow behavior in extension. In this study, the suitability of the Sentmanat Extensional Rheometer (SER) and of a novel tester for polyethylene film resins was evaluated. The SER, which subjects the resin to simple extension, is simple and fast to use, requires a small quantity of sample and gives reliable data that can be used to detect differences in molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and levels of long-chain branching. The data are also related to the stability of the bubble in film blowing. The tester, on the other hand, is a simple device that generates biaxial extension by inflating a sheet into a bubble. The resulting pressure traces from this empirical test were found capable of differentiating resins on the basis of their flow in biaxial extension.

Abstract:

A resina epóxi é uma das matrizes mais empregadas na produção de compósitos e revestimentos. Destaca-se no grupo dos materiais termorrígidos devido à facilidade de processamento, suas propriedades mecânicas e à estabilidade térmica. Propriedades como resistência à temperatura e flexibilidade têm sido sistematicamente modificadas pelo uso de diferentes materiais, como argilominerais e, mais recentemente, oligômeros poliédricos de silsesquioxano – POSS, aplicados em matrizes epóxi. Os oligômeros poliédricos de silsesquioxano (POSS) usados na preparação de nanocompósitos termorrígidos têm sido estudados na obtenção de materiais híbridos capazes de suportar temperaturas mais elevadas, promover aumento de propriedades mecânicas e melhorar propriedades de superfície como, por exemplo, a hidrofobicidade do polímero. Os grupos funcionais mais comuns utilizados na preparação de nanocompósitos com resina epóxi são aminas, álcoois e grupos epóxi. A funcionalidade da nanogaiola é importante, uma vez que um termorrígido formado por uma microestrutura reticulada apresente uma microestrutura tridimensional que pode interagir em qualquer direção formando ligações ou interagindo na interface das gaiolas inseridas. Nesse contexto, foi avaliado a influência da adição de três diferentes oligômeros poliédricos de silsesquioxano – POSS (Glicidilisobutil-POSS, Triglicidilisobutil-POSS e Glicidil-POSS), em duas diferentes concentrações 2,5% e 5% (m/m), em resina epoxídica, no comportamento morfológico, mecânico e eletroquímico quando aplicados em aço de baixa liga. Com adição de POSS à resina epóxi, observou-se um aumento na rugosidade e hidrofobicidade do revestimento, além de se obter uma maior resistência à termoxidação e um aumento nos valores de temperatura de transição vítrea do material em comparação com a amostra de resina epóxi. Dentre os sistemas estudados, a amostra contendo Glicidilisobutil-POSS (POSSmono) apresentou os melhores resultados em relação à resistência à corrosão, promovendo um aumento nos valores de ângulo de contato e na impedância eletroquímica. No quesito dispersão na matriz polimérica, o Glicidil-POSS (POSSocta) apresentou uma dispersão ineficiente com a formação de aglomerados, o que hipoteticamente influenciou no seu baixo desempenho no comportamento eletroquímico em relação aos demais sistemas.

The epoxy resin is one of the matrices most used in manufacturing composites and coatings. It is highlighted in the group of thermosetting materials due to good processability, mechanic behavior and thermal stability. Properties as thermal resistance and flexibility have been systematically modified by the use of different materials, as clays and, more recently, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes – POSS, applied in epoxy matrices. The polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) in thermosetting nanocomposites have been studied in hybrid materials able to support higher temperatures, promoting increase of mechanic properties and improving surface properties such as, for example, the hydrophobicity of the polymer. The most common functional groups used to preparing nanocomposites with epoxy resin are amines, alcohols and epoxy groups. The nanocage functionality is important, once a thermosetting formed by a reticulated microstructure presents a three-dimensional microstructure that can interact in any direction, making bonds or interacting on the interface of the inserted cages. In this context, it was evaluated the influence of three different polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes – POSS (Glycidylisobutyl-POSS, Triglycidylisobutyl-POSS and Glycidyl-POSS), at two different contents 2.5% and 5% (w/w), in epoxy resin, in the morphological, mechanic and electrochemical behavior when applied on low alloy steel. Adding POSS in the epoxy resin, it was observed an increase in roughness and hydrophobicity of the coating. Moreover, it was reached a higher thermal oxidation resistance and an increase in the values of glass transition temperature of the material, regarding the epoxy resin sample. Among the studied systems, the sample containing Glycidylisobutyl-POSS (POSSmono) showed the best results, regarding the corrosion resistance. The addition of POSSmono in the epoxy resin promoted an increase of contact angle and electrochemical impedance values. Regarding the dispersion in the polymeric matrix, the Glycidyl-POSS (POSSocta) presented an inefficient dispersion, with formation of agglomerates, which hypothetically influenced in its low performance in the electrochemical behavior, regarding the other systems.

Abstract:

The field of restorative dentistry and the problem of ultrasonic airframe corrosion in aerospace are introduced as motivation for the construction of a miniature ultrasonic pulser/receiver.
A broadly applicable ultrasonic pulser and receiver system is developed. Two pulsers, a 5V square and a 100V spike, and a 52dB amplifier with a 57MHz 6dB bandwidth were constructed as a result. These battery powered devices are tailored for compatibility with a custom built wireless data transmission system, also driven by the same voltage. It is demonstrated that the new pulser/receiver is comparable to the commercial system in performance in certain areas.
The new pulsers/receiver and a commercial one are used in this work. The data is acquired and analyzed using LabView and Matlab. It is shown that the ultrasonic technique can be used to follow the reaction in time as well as to gauge the cure of dental composites. The current work in ultrasonic airframe corrosion detection is furthered and the wireless system's functionality is affirmed.

Resumo: Ensaios mecânicos laboratoriais são essenciais no estudo e desenvolvimento dos materiais odontológicos restauradores, como forma de predizer o comportamento clínico dos mesmos frente às variadas condições existentes no meio oral. Apesar das condições encontradas in vivo dificilmente serem inteiramente representadas in vitro, o completo entendimento dos fatores que impactam o protocolo dos testes é determinante na análise dos resultados. Entretanto, muitos dos testes utilizados para caracterização dos materiais restauradores não são realizados nos padrões necessários, levando a resultados ambíguos para materiais similares, além de dificultar a comparação implementação dos mesmos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes parâmetros empregados em ensaios mecânicos utilizados no teste de materiais odontológicos restauradores para obtenção de propriedades mecânicas ou verificação da resistência de união. Assim, variadas configurações do ensaio de flexão de três pontos e do teste de microcisalhamento foram analisadas de maneira crítica. Pode-se concluir que as modalidades de ensaios mecânicos testadas necessitam de melhor padronização para que os resultados obtidos apresentem menor discrepância e consequentemente maiores representatividade clínicos. A maior padronização dos ensaios mecânicos utilizados na caracterização dos materiais odontológicos permite melhor compreensão do comportamento mecânico dos mesmos, levando a um desenvolvimento mais controlado destes produtos, o que por sua vez, resultará em maior qualidade dos procedimentos reabilitadores
Abstract: Mechanical tests are essential for the study and development of restorative materials and to predict their clinical behavior facing the numerous conditions existing at the oral environment. Despite the situations found in vivo are hardly represented completely in vitro, the full comprehension of the factors that can affect the testing protocols is important for the analysis of laboratory assays. However, most of the tests used for characterizing restorative materials are not performed in the adequate manner, leading to ambiguous results for similar materials and challenging comparisons between materials, besides impairing their improvement. On this way, the present study aimed to evaluate the influence of different testing parameters employed in mechanical tests for obtaining the mechanical properties of dental materials or to check their bond strength. Thus, different three-point bending and microshear designs were evaluated. It was concluded that the mechanical testing modalities studied need better standardization in order to produce results with minimized discrepancies and consequently increased clinical importance. Well standardized mechanical tests for dental materials testing provide better understanding of their mechanical behavior, allowing more controlled development of these products and resulting in an increased quality for rehabilitative procedures

Abstract:

O escoamento viscoelástico pode contribuir ao alívio da tensão gerada durante a polimerização de compósitos aderidos em cavidades. O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a influência de dois modos de fotoativação contínua com diferentes intensidades (1000 mW/cm 2 e 250 mW/cm 2 ) e mesma densidade de energia final (24 J/cm 2 ) sobre propriedades viscoelásticas de dois compósitos comerciais (Filtek A110 e Herculite XRV) após a cura. Os parâmetros viscoelásticos avaliados foram: E (módulo de ar-mazenamento), tand (fator de perda) e as constantes reológicas t (tempo de relaxa-mento) e h (viscosidade).. Espécimes (50 x4 x 2 mm), de cada material em cada condição de fortoativação, (total de 51) foram confeccionados à temperatura ambiente e armazenados por 7 dias a 37 o C e submetidos então, a análise dinâmico-mecânica em aparelho DMA 242 (NETZSCH): varreduras de freqüência (50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1 e 0,1 Hz) em ensaios isotérmicos (25 O C, 37 O C, 50 O C, 70 O C, 80 O C, 90 O C e Tg) em modo flexural (três pontos). Determinou-se também, a temperatura de transição vítrea (Tg). Os resultados de E e tand obtidos entre os 3 e os 7 minutos a cada temperatura permitiram a obtenção do módulo complexo E*. A aplicação do princípio de transposição tempo-temperatura de Williams-Landel-Ferry (TTS), resultou na curva mestra a 37 o C de E*(w). A aplicação de algoritmo de Laplace (RSI Orchestrator Rheometrics), permitiu a obtenção da curva-mestra na mesma temperatura de E*(t). Através da aplicação do modelo matemático de Maxwell discretizado (n=10), obteve-se o espectro de relaxamento, que permitiu a obtenção de t e h de cada ma-terial em cada condição de fotoativação. Foi determinado também, em espécimes especialmente confeccionados para estas finalidades (n=3), o grau de conversão (GC) (análise de FTIR) e micro-dureza Knoop (KHN). Ambas propriedades foram analisadas antes (temperatura ambiente) e depois de tratamento térmico (aquecimento das amostras por 10 minutos a 110 o C). Os resultados do estudo permitiram concluir que: 1) Compósitos ativados com maior intensidade de luz produzem espécimes com menor t e h; 2) E e tand são significantemente afetados pelo aumento da intensidade da luz ativadora, diminuindo para Filtek A110 e aumentando para Hercu-lite XRV; 3) A Tg diminui com o aumento da intensidade para Filtek A110 e permanece inalterada para Herculite XRV; 4) Para Filtek A110, GC e KHN dos espécimes curados à temperatura ambiente não mudou com o aumento da intensidade, en-quanto que para Herculite XRV diminuiu; 5) GC e KHN melhoraram para Filtek A110 com o tratamento térmico adicional; para Herculite XRV, apenas KHN melhorou com o tratamento térmico, mas não o GC.
Viscoelastic flow may contribute to the stress relief generated during composites po-lymerization adhered in cavities. The aim of this study was to verify how two modes of continuous photoactivation with different intensities (1000 mW/cm 2 and 250 mW/cm 2 ) and same density of the final energy (24 J/cm 2 ) affect viscoelastic properties after cure of two commercial composites (Filtek A110 and Herculite XRV). The evaluated viscoelastic parameters were: E (storage modulus), tand (loss factor) and rheologic constraints t (relaxation time) and h (viscosity). Specimens (50 x4 x 2 mm), of each material at each photoactivation mode (totaled 51) were built at room tem-perature and have been stored for 7 days at 37 o C to undergo the dynamic-mechanical analysis in DMA 242 (Netzsch) equipment. Frequency sweep was made (50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1 and 0,1 Hz) in each of the isothermic testing (25 O C, 37 O C, 50 O C, 70 O C, 80 O C, 90 O C and Tg) in flexural test (3 points). It was also determined glass transition temperature (Tg). The results of E and tand obtained between 3 and 7 min-utes at each temperature allowed to obtain complex modulus E*. The application of time-temperature switch principle of Williams-Landel-Ferry (TTS) ended up in master-curve of E*(w) at 37 o C. The use of the Laplace algorithm (RSI Orchestrator Rheometrics) allowed to obtain the master curve (at same temperature) of E*(t). By means of the using of discretized Maxwells mathematical model (n=10), relaxation spectrum was obtained, which resulted in t and h of each of the materials in each of the photoactivation conditions. Degree of conversion (DC) (FTIR analysis) and Knoop microhardness (KHN) were also determined in specially made specimens for these purposes (n=3). Both properties were analyzed before (room temperature) and after thermal treatment (heating of the specimens for 10 minutes at 110 o C). The results of the study allowed to conclude that: 1) Composites activated with higher intensity yield lower t and h specimens; 2) E and tand are meaningfully affected by the increase of the activating light intensity, decreasing for Filtek A110 and increasing for Herculite XRV; 3) Tg decreases with the intensity increase for Filtek A110 and remains un-changed for Herculite XRV; 4) For Filtek A110, DC and KHN of the cured specimens at room temperature, remained unchanged with the intensity increase, while for Her-culite XRV they decreased; 5) DC and KHN raised for Filtek A110 with additional thermal treatment for Herculite XRV, only KHN improved with thermal treatment, but there were no changes for DC.

Abstract:

O presente estudo in vitro objetivou avaliar a longo prazo o potencial antimicrobiano residual e a citotoxicidade de soluções químicas de limpeza de prótese quando incorporadas à resina acrílica termopolimerizável após sucessivos ciclos de imersão noturna diária. Discos (10mm x 1mm) de resina acrílica termopolimerizável para base de prótese (Lucitone 550) foram submetidos a três ciclos diários de desinfecção (8h/cada) em hipoclorito de sódio a 1% (NaClO), digluconato de clorexidina a 2% (CLX) ou água destilada (controle) durante 91 (T91) ou 183 dias (T183), simulando o período de 9 meses ou 1,5 ano de imersão noturna diária realizada pelo paciente. Inicialmente, foi utilizado o método de concentração inibitória mínima em caldo para determinar o possível efeito residual (incorporação) das soluções à resina acrílica. Metade dos discos imersos em cada agente de limpeza em um dos tempos de imersão (n=5) foi inoculada (1x107cels/mL) com um dos patógenos associados à estomatite protética: Candida albicans (Ca) e Staphylococcus aureus (Sa). Os discos foram incubados a 37oC para análise em espectrofotômetro após 24h, 7 e 14 dias. Os valores de absorbância foram convertidos em porcentagens de inibição microbiana. Confirmada a ação antimicrobiana residual dos agentes de limpeza incorporados à resina acrílica, foi então analisada sua citotoxicidade in vitro sobre fibroblastos gengivais humanos (L929). Os efeitos citotóxicos foram avaliados por meio do ensaio colorimétrico MTT [brometo de 3-(4,5-dimetiltiazol-2-yl)-2,5-difeniltetrazólio] para a determinação da viabilidade celular, após as células serem expostas por 24h às amostras de cada condição experimentais (n=18) previamente imersas em uma das soluções por um dos períodos avaliados (T91 ou T183). A citotoxicidade foi determinada com base na atividade mitocondrial em relação a corpos de prova não submetidos à imersão nas soluções testadas. Os resultados do ensaio do MTT foram analisados estatisticamente por ANOVA-1 fator seguida pelo teste post-hoc de Tukey HSD (a=0,05). Para os períodos T91 e T183, não houve inibição microbiana com a imersão em água (controle) em até 14 dias de incubação. A CLX inibiu progressivamente o crescimento microbiano ao longo dos 14 dias para ambos os períodos de imersão (Ca: 19 a 73,58%; Sa: 0 a 87,08%), sendo observada maior ação antimicrobiana em T183. O NaClO apresentou discreta inibição microbiana apenas no período de 14 dias tanto em T91 (Ca: 0%; Sa: 2,70%) quanto em T183 (Ca: 8,50%; Sa: 15,08%). De acordo com os resultados do teste de MTT, as soluções químicas de limpeza testadas apresentaram uma redução significativa da viabilidade celular quando comparado às células controles propagadas apenas em meio de cultura (p<0,002). A CLX resultou na menor viabilidade celular em ambos os períodos de imersão (p<0,018). As amostras de resina acrílica imersas em água ou NaClO em T91 e T183 apresentaram viabilidade celular estatisticamente similar às amostras não imersas (p>0,05). Pode-se concluir que a CLX incorporada à resina acrílica para base de prótese apresentou um efeito antimicrobiano residual em ambos os períodos de imersão noturna, o que não foi observado com o NaClO. Por outro lado, a CLX residual resultou em efeito intensamente citotóxico aos fibroblastos gengivais humanos quando comparada ao NaClO e à agua destilada, que se apresentaram discretamente citotóxicos. Esses resultados sugerem precaução na seleção de agentes de limpeza para prótese como meio de prevenção e tratamento adjunto da estomatite protética, pois mesmo em concentrações baixas, recomendadas para imersão noturna, podem apresentar algum grau de toxicidade às mucosas de suporte protético.
This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the long-term residual antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of chemical denture cleansers incorporated into a heat-polymerized acrylic resin after successive cycles of daily overnight soaking. Discs (10mm x 1mm) were prepared from heat-polymerized acrylic resin (Lucitone 550) and submitted to three daily immersion (8h/each) in 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), chlorhexidine digluconate 2% (CHX) or distilled water (control) for 91 days (T91) or 183 days (T183), simulating the period of 9 months or 1.5 year of nocturnal immersion performed by the patient. Initially, the method of minimum inhibitory concentration in broth was used to determine the possible residual effect (incorporation) of the acrylic resin solution. Half of the disks immersed in each cleaning agent for one of the period immersion (n=5) was inoculated (1x107cells/mL) with pathogens associated with denture stomatitis: Candida albicans (Ca) or Staphylococcys aureus (Sa). The disks were incubated at 37oC for analysis in a spectrophotometer after 24h, 7 and 14 days. The absorbance values were expressed as percentages of microbial inhibition. Confirmed the residual antimicrobial action of cleaning agents incorporated into the acrylic resin, its cytotoxicity was analyzed in vitro on human gingival fibroblasts (L929). Cytotoxic effects were evaluated by the colorimetric assay MTT [3- (4,5- dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] to determine cellular viability after the cells were exposed for 24h to the samples of each experimental condition (n=18) previously immersed in one of the solutions for the evaluation periods (T91 or T183). Cytotoxicity was determined based on mitochondrial activity compared to the specimens not subjected to immersion in the solutions. The MTT assay results were 1-way ANOVA followed by Tukey\'s HSD post-hoc test (a=0.05). For the periods T91 and T183, no microbial inhibition was observed with immersion in water (control) for up to 14 days of incubation. The CHX progressively inhibited microbial growth over the 14 days for both immersion times (Ca: 19 to 73.58%, Sa: 0 to 87.08%); with greater antimicrobial activity in T183. The NaClO showed a slight microbial inhibition only in the 14-day period in both T91 (Ca: 0%; Sa: 2.70%) and T183 (Ca: 8.50%; Sa: 15.08%). According to the results of the MTT assay, the chemical cleaning solutions tested showed a significant reduction in cell viability when compared to the control cells propagated in normal culture medium (p<0.002). The CHX resulted in the lowest cell viability in both immersion periods (p<0.018). The acrylic samples immersed in water or NaClO in T91 and T183 showed cell viability statistically similar to nonimmersed samples (p>0.05). CHX incorporated into the acrylic resin denture base had a residual antimicrobial effect on both immersion periods, which was not observed with NaClO. On the other hand, the residual CHX were severely cytotoxic to human gingival fibroblasts compared to NaClO and distilled water which were slightly cytotoxic. These results suggest caution in selecting denture cleaning agents as a method of prevention and adjunct treatment of denture stomatitis because even at low concentrations recommended for overnight immersion, they may exhibit some degree of toxicity to the denture bearing mucosa.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of aqueous solutions of chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) in different concentrations on bond strength to eroded dentin up to 6 months, using normal dentin as a control. METHODS: Exposed flat dentin of extracted third molars was only ground with 600-grit SiC paper/1 minute (normal dentin - N), or subsequently eroded by a regular-cola soft-drink (eroded dentin - E). N and E were acid-etched, washed, dried and rehydrated with 1.5 μL, respectively, of distillated water (control - NC / EC); of 0.004% CHX (N0.004% / E0.004%); or of 2% CHX (N2% / E2%). Adper Single Bond 2 was applied in all specimens and resin composite buildups were constructed with Filtek Z350. Specimens were sectioned in beams, which were tested (μTBS) immediately or after 6 months of aging. RESULTS: Microtensile bond strength to eroded dentin was always significantly lower than that to normal dentin. Application of tested CHX solutions did not exert a significant effect immediately; however, after aging, the 2% CHX prevented abrupt bond strength loss both to eroded and normal dentin.

Abstract:

Ce travail avait deux objectifs: 1) définir des groupes de patients (pts) susceptibles de bénéficier d’un conseil génétique par l’identification de facteurs prédictifs de l’existence d’une mutation du gène CDKN2A, un des gènes majeurs de prédisposition au mélanome, dans les familles ne comportant que deux cas (Fam_2 cas). 2) la caractérisation épidémiologique et clinique d’entités particulières du mélanome dans l’objectif secondaire de contribuer à l’identification de gènes de prédisposition à ces entités. Les 2 entités étudiées étaient le mélanome cutané (MC) associé au cancer du rein (CR) et les mélanomes muqueux de la sphère ano-génitale (MMAG).Les populations d’étude sont une collection de 293 pts atteints de MC recrutés de façon consécutive sans connaissance à priori de l'histoire familiale et la collection française MELARISK qui comprend ≥ 3000 sujets prélevés appartenant à des familles à cas multiples de mélanomes ou ayant un MC survenant dans un contexte particulier (association à un autre cancer, topographie rare, survenue avant l’âge de 20 ans, MC multiples sporadiques). Nous avons étudié l'effet de 3 facteurs prédictifs potentiels sur la présence d’une mutation de CDKN2A dans une famille en fonction du nombre de pts atteints dans une famille (2 pts versus ≥3 pts). L’étude a été menée dans 483 familles françaises comprenant 387 Fam_2 cas, et 96 familles avec ≥3 pts atteints de mélanome (Fam_3+ cas). Les facteurs étudiés dans la famille un à un puis conjointement étaient : l’âge médian <50 ans au diagnostic de MC, la survenue de ≥1 cas de MC primitifs multiples (MPM) et la survenue de ≥1 cas de cancer du pancréas (CPCP). La fréquence des mutations était plus élevée dans les Fam_3+ cas (32%) que dans les Fam_2 cas (13%). Alors qu’un âge jeune au diagnostic et la survenue de ≥ 1 MPM étaient associés à la présence de mutations de CDKN2A dans les Fam_2 cas, un âge jeune au diagnostic ainsi que la présence de ≥1 cas de CP était associé significativement aux mutations de CDKN2A dans les Fam_3+ cas. L’étude a montré que les caractéristiques cliniques associées aux mutations de CDKN2A varient, en France, pays de faible incidence de mélanome, en fonction du degré d’agrégation familiale. L’identification de facteurs prédictifs de mutations de CDKN2A dans les Fam_2 cas a contribué à définir des sous-groupes de familles (âge jeune au diagnostic, survenue de MPM) dans lesquels la fréquence des mutations de CDKN2A est supérieure à 20% et auxquels il est légitime de proposer un test génétique. L’analyse des deux séries de pts MM+CR et MMAG a permis d’identifier, en les comparant à la série de MC recrutés de manière consécutive, leurs caractéristiques cliniques et histologiques. Dans ces deux séries, nos résultats ont mis en évidence un contexte de prédisposition héréditaire en partie indépendant de CDKN2A. L’étude de l’association MC et CR chez un même patient a eu deux conséquences pratiques: pour les cliniciens ces résultats suggèrent l’intérêt d’un examen dermatologique en cas de CR et l’intérêt de l’échographie abdominale dans le bilan initial d’un MC pour le dépistage du CR; pour la recherche en génétique, cette série a contribué à l’identification d’une mutation germinale dans le gène MITF qui augmente le risque de développer un MC, un CR ou l’association des deux cancers et qui a des propriétés biologiques intéressantes. L’étude des MMAG a montré que ces mélanomes pouvaient être associés à des MC chez un même malade et/ou survenir dans un contexte familial de mélanome. Le corollaire clinique de ces résultats est que l’examen dermatologique de dépistage ou de surveillance doit être à la fois cutané et muqueux dans un contexte familial de mélanome et qu’en cas de MMAG un examen dermatologique des apparentés doit être proposé comme c’est la règle dans les MC. L’absence de mutation de CDKN2A dans ces localisations muqueuses incite à entreprendre des études génétiques pour identifier les gènes impliqués
This thesis had two main objectives: 1) To define groups of patients which may benefit from genetic counseling by identifying predictors of mutations of the CDKN2A gene, a major gene predisposing to cutaneous melanoma (CM) in families with only two cases. 2) Epidemiological and clinical characterization of specific entities of melanoma with the secondary objective of contributing to the identification of susceptibility genes for these entities. Coexistence of CM with renal cell carcinoma and mucosal anogenital melanomas were studied.The study populations are a collection of 293 melanoma patients that were ascertained systematically and the French collection MELARISK which is a collection including over 3000 subjects drawn from families with multiple cases of melanoma or melanoma occurring in a particular context (association with another cancer, rare locations, occurrence before the age of 20, multiple sporadic melanomas).We investigated association of three clinical features with the presence of a CDKN2A mutation in a family by extent of CM family clustering (2 versus ≥3 CM patients among first-degree relatives in a family).The study was conducted in 483 French families including 387 families with two melanoma patients, and 96 families with three or more patients with melanoma. The factors examined individually and in a joint analysis in a family were: median age at diagnosis <50 years, ≥1 patient in a family with multiple primary melanomas (MPM) or with pancreatic cancer. The frequency of CDKN2A mutations was higher in F3+ families (32%) than in F2 families (13%). While early age at melanoma diagnosis and occurrence of MPM in ≥1 patient were significantly associated with the risk of a CDKN2A mutation in F2 families, early age at melanoma diagnosis and occurrence of pancreatic cancer in a family were significantly associated with CDKN2A mutations in F3+ families. Thus this study showed that clinical features associated with CDKN2A mutations vary, in France, a country of low incidence of melanoma, according to the degree of familial clustering. Identifying predictors of CDKN2A mutations in families with two melanoma cases has helped to define subgroups of families (early age at CM diagnosis, and/or ≥1 MPM patient) in which the frequency of CDKN2A mutations is above 20% such that these subgroups of F2 families should be offered genetic testing.The analysis of two series of patients, either patients with melanoma coexisting with renal cell carcinoma or patients with anogenital mucosal melanoma identified their clinical and histological features by comparing them to a series of melanomas that were ascertained systematically. In both series, our results suggested a genetic predisposition at least partly independent of CDKN2A. The study of the c renal cell carcinoma; coexistence of CM and renal cancer in the same patient had two practical consequences for clinicians: it suggests the interest of a dermatologic screening visit in patients with renal cell carcinoma and that abdominal ultrasonography or computed tomography scanning performed at the initial workup and during the follow-up of patients with CM may be of value for the early detection of renal cancer. Regarding genetic research, this series has contributed to the identification of a germline mutation in the MITF gene that increases the risk of developing melanoma, renal cancer or both cancers and has interesting biological properties. The study of anogenital melanoma has shown that these melanomas could be associated with cutaneous melanoma in the same patient and it has also shown a high frequency of family history of melanoma associating mucosal and CM suggesting a shared genetic predisposition. Consequently dermatological screening or monitoring must include examination of both skin and mucosa in families with multiple cases of CM; and in case of a mucosal melanoma, a dermatological examination should be offered to relatives. The genetic mechanism has to be identified

Abstract:

Uobičajeni pristup i testiranju biološkog ponašanja materijala je da se počne sa jednostavnim in vitro testovima baziranim na ćelijskim kulturama. In vitro testovi citotoksičnosti su danas jedan od osnovnih načina za procenu biološkog odgovora na materijal jer su brži, lakši za ponavljanje, ocenjivanje i jeftiniji u odnosu na eksperimente koji se izvode na životinjama i ljudima. Koriste se kao neka vrsta skrining testova za procenu biološke sigurnosti materijala. Za razliku od ćelijskih kultura, istraživanja koja uključuju eksperimentalne životinje pružaju bolji uvid u biokompatibilnost materijala, zbog mogućnosti praćenja kompleksnog imunološkog odgovora živog organizma. Smatraju se neophodnim za ocenu biloških odgovora na novi materijal, pre nego što se on upotrebi na ljudima. Mnogi aspekti biološkog odgovora ne mogu biti reprodukovani in vitro testovima uključujući krvne interakcije, zarastanje rana, reakcije preosetljivosti, karcinogenezu, hroničnu inflamaciju. Eksperimenti na životinjama pružaju informacije o ovim tipovima efekata bez izlaganja ljudi riziku. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se oceni biokompatibilnost objekata od polimera na bazi epoksi smole Accura® ClearVue™ (hemijski sastav: 4,4’- izopropilidendicikloheksanol, produkti oligomerne reakcije sa 1-hlor-2,3- epoksipropanom(40-65%), smešа triaril-sulfonijum soli (50% propilen-karbonata i 50% triaril-sulfonijum heksafluoroantimonatnih soli) (1-10%) i 3-etil-3hidroksimetil-oksetan(10-20%). U oceni citotoksičnosti materijala Accura® ClearVue™ korišćeni su agar diguzioni i MTT test. Oba testa rađena sun a ćelijskim kulturama L929 (mišiji fibroblasti) i MRC-5 (humani fibroblasti).

Uobičajeni pristup i testiranju biološkog ponašanja materijala je da se počne sa jednostavnim in vitro testovima baziranim na ćelijskim kulturama. In vitro testovi citotoksičnosti su danas jedan od osnovnih načina za procenu biološkog odgovora na materijal jer su brži, lakši za ponavljanje, ocenjivanje i jeftiniji u odnosu na eksperimente koji se izvode na životinjama i ljudima. Koriste se kao neka vrsta skrining testova za procenu biološke sigurnosti materijala. Za razliku od ćelijskih kultura, istraživanja koja uključuju eksperimentalne životinje pružaju bolji uvid u biokompatibilnost materijala, zbog mogućnosti praćenja kompleksnog imunološkog odgovora živog organizma. Smatraju se neophodnim za ocenu biloških odgovora na novi materijal, pre nego što se on upotrebi na ljudima. Mnogi aspekti biološkog odgovora ne mogu biti reprodukovani in vitro testovima uključujući krvne interakcije, zarastanje rana, reakcije preosetljivosti, karcinogenezu, hroničnu inflamaciju. Eksperimenti na životinjama pružaju informacije o ovim tipovima efekata bez izlaganja ljudi riziku. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se oceni biokompatibilnost objekata od polimera na bazi epoksi smole Accura® ClearVue™ (hemijski sastav: 4,4’- izopropilidendicikloheksanol, produkti oligomerne reakcije sa 1-hlor-2,3- epoksipropanom(40-65%), smeša triaril-sulfonijum soli (50% propilen-karbonata i 50% triaril-sulfonijum heksafluoroantimonatnih soli) (1-10%) i 3-etil-3hidroksimetil-oksetan(10-20%). U oceni citotoksičnosti materijala Accura® ClearVue™ korišćeni su agar diguzioni i MTT test. Oba testa rađena sun a ćelijskim kulturama L929 (mišiji fibroblasti) i MRC-5 (humani fibroblasti). Ocena biokompatibilnosti testiranog materijala vršena je na osnovu urađenog testa iritacije oralne mukoze na modelu bukalne kesice hrčka, što je definisano standardom ISO 10993-10:2010.

The usual approach in testing biological behavior of materials is to start with simple in vitro tests based on cell cultures. In vitro cytotoxicity tests are one of the basic methods of assessing the biological response to material because they are faster, cheaper, easier for repeating and evaluating compared to experiments carried out on animals and humans. They are used as a kind of screening test for evaluating the biosafety of materials. Unlike cell culture, studies involving experimental animals provide better insight into the biocompatibility of materials due to the possibility of monitoring the complex immune response of a living organism. They are considered necessary for assessing the biological response to new material before it is used on humans. Many aspects of a biological response cannot be reproduced with in vitro tests, including blood interaction, wound healing, hypersensitivity reactions, carcinogenesis, chronic inflammation. Animal experiments provide information about these types of effects without exposing humans to risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of polymer objects on the basis of epoxy resins Accura® ClearVue ™ (chemical composition: 4.4' Isopropylidenedicyclohexanol, oligomeric reaction products with 1-chloro-2.3-epoxypropane (40-65%), a mixture of triaryl sulfonium salt (50% propylene carbonate and 50% of a triarylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonate salt) (1- 10%) and 3-ethyl-3-hydroxymethyl-oxetane (10-20%). In the assessment of the cytotoxicity of materials Accura® ClearVue ™ agar diffusion and MTT tests were used. Both tests were conducted on cell cultures L929 (mouse fibroblasts) and MRC-5 (human fibroblasts). An assessment of the biocompatibility of the tested material was done on the basis of an oral mucosa irritation test on a hamster cheek pouch as defined by ISO 10993-10: 2010. The biocompatibility of the material was also tested with the implantation of a samples into the dorsal subcutaneous tissue of a Wistar rats. The subcutaneous implantation test, as one of the most reliable methods for assessing the biocompatibility of dental materials, is defined by ISO 10993-6: 2010. The study was conducted on 30 rats which were sacrificed in groups

Both quaternary ammonium bromide (QAB) and furanone derivatives were synthesized, characterized and formulated into dental resin composites for improved antibacterial properties. Compressive strength (CS) and S. mutans viability were used to evaluate the mechanical strength and antibacterial activity of the restoratives. The effects of chain length, loading, saliva and aging on CS and S. mutans viability were investigated. Chapter 2 describes how we studied and evaluated the formulated antibacterial resin composites by incorporating the synthesized QAB-containing oligomers into the formulation. The results show that all the QAB-modified resin composites showed significant antibacterial activity and mechanical strength reduction. Increasing chain length and loading significantly enhanced the antibacterial activity but dramatically reduced the CS as well. The 30-day aging study showed that the incorporation of the QAB accelerated the degradation of the composite, suggesting that the QAB may not be well suitable for development of antibacterial dental resin composites or at least the QAB loading should be well controlled. Chapter 3 describes how we studied and evaluated the formulated antibacterial resin composite by incorporating the synthesized furanone derivative into the formulation. The results show that the modified resin composites showed a significant antibacterial activity without substantially decreasing the mechanical strengths. With 5 to 30% addition of the furanone derivative, the composite kept its original CS unchanged but showed a significant antibacterial activity with a 16-68% reduction in the S. mutans viability. Further, the antibacterial function of the new composite was found not to be affected by human saliva. The aging study indicates that the composite may have a long-lasting antibacterial function. In summary, we have developed a novel QAB- and furanone-containing antibacterial system for dental restoratives. Both QAB- and furanone-modified resin composites have demonstrated significant antibacterial activities. The QAS-modified experimental resin composite may not be well suitable for development of antibacterial dental resin composites due to its accelerated degradation in water unless the QAB loading is well controlled. The furanone-modified resin composite shows nearly no reduction in mechanical strength after incorporation of the antibacterial furanone derivative. It appears that the furanone-modified resin composite is a clinically attractive dental restorative that can be potentially used for long-lasting restorations due to its high mechanical strength and permanent antibacterial function.

Abstract:

Objective: CAD/CAM technology allows fabrication of thin lithium disilicate (LD) veneers to a LD crown substructure in place of using traditional feldspathic porcelain (FP) which has inferior mechanical properties. This project investigated the effect of different LD veneer applications to LD substructure on the biaxial flexural fatigue of LD veneer/substructure restorations. Materials/Methods: Forty-five LD discs (Ø = 120.7 mm) were fabricated that, when combined with the veneering discs, achieve final dimensions of (Ø = 121.2mm). Experimental groups were (n = 15) as follows: (1) Resin Bonded LD Veneer (RBLDV), LD veneer (Ø = 120.5 mm) adhesively cemented to LD (0.7 mm); (2) Sintered LD Veneer (SLDV), LD veneer (Ø=120.5 mm) sintered to LD (0.7 mm); (3) Sintered Feldspathic Veneer (SFV), feldspathic porcelain (FP) applied to LD discs to achieve a final dimension of (Ø = 121.2 mm). A fourth group of (1.2 mm) monolithic LD served as the control. Weibull-distribution survival analysis was used to compare the differences of the resistance to fracture after fatigue between groups. Total number of cycles were analyzed using one-way Anova (p < 0.05). Hypothesis: Adhering or sintering a thin laminate layer of LD on another LD surface would result in increased fracture resistance in comparison to sintered FP on LD. Results: The SFV group had significantly lower fatigue resistance than SLDV and RBLDV groups (p < 0.05). The RBLDV group fractures resulted in significantly more fractured fragments in comparison to the other groups. No statistical difference was observed in the number of cycles. The results also showed that the LD veneered groups presented similar resistance to fatigue as monolithic discs of the same overall dimensions. Conclusion: The hypothesis was accepted suggesting that veneering a LD substructure with a LD veneer, bonded or sintered, has increased resistance to fatigue as FP veneering material on a LD substructure. In addition, it was observed to have similar resistance to fatigue in comparison to the monolithic LD group.

Abstract:

Indirect composites were introduced so that the composites can be cured extraorally to improve the degree of conversion and other material properties. These materials are indicated as long term full coverage dental restorative materials. However the mechanical and physical properties of new Second Generation Indirect Composites for this particular application have not been fully evaluated. The purpose of the study was to compare the appropriateness of the four commercially available laboratory composite resins for application as long term full coverage restorative materials. Water solubility and sorption levels, staining resistance, gloss, surface roughness, wear due to tooth brush abrasion, two-body and three-body wear, fracture toughness and radiopacity of four indirect composite restorative materials; Radica (Dentsply), Sculpture Plus (Pentron), Belleglass-NG (Kerr) and Gradia Indirect (GC America) were determined. The results showed that the four composites differed significantly from each other. Bell eglass-NG and Gradia Indirect showed negative water solubility. All the four groups demonstrated less color stability when exposed to coffee slurry for 3 weeks. Significant decrease in gloss and volume occurred when the omposites were exposed to simulated tooth-brush abrasion. Sculpture Plus v demonstrated lowest abrasion and attrition wear resistance among the four indirect composites. Radica had the highest fracture toughness and radiopacity of all the composites with values close to or less then dentin. In conclusion, different indirect composite systems possessed different mechanical and physical advantages when compared to each other. In general, Belleglass-NG demonstrated superior advantages due to its higher abrasion and attrition wear resistance and stain resistance. This was followed by Radica,Gradia Indirect and Sculpture Plus.

In petrochemistry, quality of petroproduct is the most important factor satisfied by customers. To get stable quality needs the operation of quality testing on manufacturing process. The operations can response quality information in time, by the information we then can adjust the instruments of manufactures and make the quality stable. During the development of Internet and ERP system, Chemical testing system of petrochemistry uses Web and Internet technology to develop new system, such that the process of chemical production and quality testing must need to be reengineered. In this research, we propose an intranet chemical production and quality testing EIS system for C company, and design new computerized process of chemical production and quality testing. From the practice of C company by using the new system and the process, it improves the effectiveness of quality testing, increase the information sharing of quality testing, and low down the ratio of quality extraordinary.
