Adicionalmente, foram analisados o padrão de condicionamento (PC) e a interface resina-esmalte (IRE). Foram utilizados 63 dentes bovinos divididos em 3 grupos (n=21) de acordo com o adesivo. Cada grupo foi subdividido em 3 sub-grupos de acordo com a temperatura do adesivo (NORM = 20°C; FRIO = 5°C; QNT = 40°C). Os dentes tiveram sua face vestibular média planificada com lixas de granulação 320, 400 e 600 de SiC e abrasionada com uma ponta diamantada por 10s. Os sistemas adesivos foram aplicados segundo as instruções do fabricante e a resina composta em incrementos 2mm de espessura. Cada incremento foi polimerizado por 40s. Em seguida, os espécimes foram cortadas no sentido mésio-distal, sendo a metade cervical destinada a análise da interface e a incisal destinada ao teste de µT , realizado em máquina de ensaio universal. Para cada espécime, 4 amostras do tipo "Hour Glass" foi testado e o padrão de fratura avaliado. Para o PC foram confeccionados 2 blocos para cada subgrupo (14), os quais receberam o mesmo tratamento de superfície dos espécimes utilizados para o teste de µT, porém as superfícies foram lavadas após a aplicação da solução ácida . Para a análise da interface, estas foram polidas e limpas através da aplicação de plasma de argônio e foram, juntamente com os espécimes do padrão de condicionamento, preparados para visualização em MEV. Os valores de resistência à µT foram analisados pelo teste ANOVA/Tukey (p<0,05). Na temperatura NORM não houve diferença estatística entre os adesivos, porém no FRIO a resistência à µT dos adesivos PBNT e PLP foram menores que a do SEB. Na temperatura QNT houve uma redução na resistência à µT dos adesivos SEB e PLP. Dentro de cada adesivo, o SEB aquecido, foi o único que reduziu sua resistência. O padrão de fratura mostrou maior incidência de fraturas coesivas em esmalte para o adesivo PBNT. Porém, os adesivos autocondicionantes mostraram uma predominância de fraturas adesivas/ coesivas e adesivas. O aspecto da interface e do padrão de condicionamento foi dependente da temperatura e do adesivo. O grupo PLP foi o que mais se aproximou do grupo com condicionamento ácido prévio, porém apenas na temperatura ambiente. Através dos resultados deste estudo, pode-se concluir que os adesivos autocondicionantes apresentam menor agressividade de desmineralização em relação ao ácido fosfórico e são influenciados pela alteração da temperatura. / Abstract: This study evaluated the influence of adhesive temperature on microtensile (µT) bond strength of a total-etch adhesive, Primer&Bond NT (PBNT) and two self-etching adhesives, Clearfil SE Bond (SEB) and Adper Prompt L-Pop (PLP). Additionally, the etch patterns (EP) and resin-enamel interface were analyzed. Sixty-three bovine incisors were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups (N=21) according to the adhesive. Each group was subdivided into 3 sub-groups according to the temperature (NORM = 20°C; FRIO = 5°C; QNT = 40°C). The buccal enamel surfaces were flattened with 320, 400, 600-grit SiC paper and abrasioned with a diamond bur for 10s under water coolant. The adhesive were applied according to the manufacturers' instructions and resin was incrementally placed in 2mm thick. Each resin increment was light cured for 40s. The specimens were sectioned in the middle. For the µT test was used incisal center, accomplished in a universal testing machine, 4 "hour glass" type specimens were tested, after was fractures type classified. The cervical middle was used for interface analyze. The sections were polished and cleanned with Argon Plasma. For the EP, 24 fragments received the same treatment of the specimens used for µT, but the surface was rinsed off after the application of the acidic solutions. EP and interface analyze were examined under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The bond strength data were analyzed by ANOVA/Tukey test (p<5%). No significant differences were found for NORM adhesives. However, for FRIO, PBNT and APLP presented the lower bond strength means significantly differing from SEB. For QNT, the SEB and PLP presented the lowest bond strength means. Within each adhesive, the SEB used in a QNT, was the only one to present a reduction in a bond strength. There was a more enamel cohesive fracture type to PBNT. However, the self-etching adhesive presented adhesive/cohesive fracture types. The interface aspect was temperature and adhesive depended. When the APLP was applied in normal temperature there was greater similarity with the group PBNT. The result of this study was concluded that the self-etching showed a least aggressive etch patterns in relation to the Phosphoric acid and temperature change influenced adhesive µT bond strength and EP. However, they were adhesive and temperature dependent. / Mestrado / Dentística / Mestre em Clínica Odontológica

The purpose of the present study is to determine the effect of three "non-rinse" washing compounds upon the tensile strength of cotton percale, in order to have some basis for recommendation as to use when teaching laundering to homemaking students and homemakers.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of content of a copovidone binder (0%, 5% and 10% w/w) and its addition method on compression and compaction properties of six MCCformulations following dry granulation. Briquetting was used to form dry granules for furthercharacterization. The mean yield pressure and fracture strength of granules were assessed at 300MPa on the basis of “in-die” Heckel and Adams model respectively. Then tablet tensile strengthof manufactured tablets was determined at 100 and 300 MPa. The results demonstrated thatintragranular addition of further binder (10%) to MCC could increase plasticity. However, therewas a drastic reduction in compactibility of dry granules mostly impacted by binding capacity ofthe binder. Generally, 5% intragranular:5% extragranular binder under a compaction pressure of300 MPa had the greatest binder efficacy on strength of pure MCC tablets while 10%extragranular binder improved tensile strength significantly at 100 MPa. PVP in a level of 5%w/w had no significant impact on tensile strength of tablets compacted at 100 and 300 MPa.

Traditionally it was thought that the unidirectional strength in the fiber direction of fiber dominated composites was not influenced by the matrix material. As long as the fiber was not affected then the strength would remain. However this thesis will challange that belief. The unidirectional strength in the fiber direction of fiber dominated composites is influenced by the matrix material. The object of this study was to examine the quasi-static tensile strength of unidirectional polymer composites, and then use current analytic models to predict the experimental results. The different matrix materials were polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), vinyl ester with two different fiber-matrix interface materials, and polyether ether ketone (PEEK). / Master of Science

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Direct bonding of orthodontic brackets often results in decalcification of tooth structure surrounding bracket sites. Glass ionomer cements, while typically leaching fluoride over time, often exhibit a significantly lower bond strength. Fluoride-containing resins generally release high concentrations of fluoride for a short time, then cease to release any significant amount. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tensile bond strength, fluoride release, hardness, solubility, and sorption of a newly formulated fluoride containing resin. The experimental resins were prepared with 5% and 7.5% fluoride (F-) monomer, and were compared to a fluoride-free control adhesive (Rely-a-Bond Phase II™, Reliance Orthodontics Inc ., Itasca, Ill .). To evaluate tensile bond strength, orthodontic brackets were bonded to bovine teeth and debonded using an lnstron machine. Fluoride release was tested using resin disks stored in deionized water. The fluoride content of the water was determined with an ion-specific electrode. Hardness, solubility, and sorption were tested using disks made of each material. Comparison of experimental and control resins by ANOVA followed by General Linear Models multiple comparisons revealed the control to show a statistically significant difference (p<.0001) for tensile bond strength. Experimental Control 5%F- 7.5%F- Peak Stress (MPa) 4.48±0.65 3.83±0.76 5.31±0.97. Fluoride continued to be released from the experimental resins (5% and 7.5% F-) at 18 days. The control was significantly harder than either of the experimental resins at 1 hour, 24 hours, 1 week, and 1 month (p<.0001). The 5% F- resin exhibited slight solubility (0.10 percent), while the 7.5%F- resin and the control exhibited very little solubility (0.01 percent). Phase II™ exhibited significantly lower sorption at 21 days (0.60 percent, p<.001) than either the 5%F- resin (1.69 percent) or the 7.5%F- resin (1.63 percent). These results indicate that while the experimental resin had lower bond strength, lower hardness, and higher sorption than the control, measurable fluoride was released from the experimental resins for up to 18 days. Further testing is indicated to determine the clinical acceptability of this adhesive.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Many factors may affect orthodontic bond strength study results. An important variant to consider is the bonding surface contour. Contour alters the proximity of adherent surfaces, the surface area available for adhesion, and the stress distribution. It was the purpose of this study to determine if bracket base or enamel contour affect in vitro bond strengths. Orthos Mini-Diamond (ORMCO Corp.) .0 018" slot central incisor brackets with flattened or unaltered curved bases were bonded (System 1 + self cure resin cement by ORMCO, Corp.) to unaltered and flattened bovine central incisors. Bond strengths were determined by debonding on a Bionix 858 (MTS System Corp.) testing machine. The results showed that unaltered bracket bases bonded on unaltered enamel surfaces (the closest approximation to a clinical situation) had the significantly (p< 0.0002) lowest tensile bond strength among the three combinations. The adhesive remnant index evaluation demonstrated that unaltered bracket base/ unaltered enamel surface (Group II) had significantly higher ARI (less adhesive remaining on enamel) than any of the other groups. A negative correlation between ARI scores and mean bond strength was found. There was not a significant difference between flattened bracket base / flattened enamel surface (Group I) and unaltered bracket base/ flattened enamel surface. The results suggest that the surface convexity and texture of enamel are important variables that can affect bond strength tests results. Standardization of testing protocols and control of the different variables that can affect bond strength are important factors in the testing of orthodontic brackets.

Natural fibre composites (NFCs), which are polymers reinforced with cellulosic bast fibres, have the potential to be applied into a range of building products. They are seen as an alternative to glass fibre reinforced plastics (GFRP) in some applications, because of natural fibres (NF) relatively high strength and low density. Moreover, natural fibres have a set of beneficial traits, such as thermal insulation, thermal stability, biodegradability, and are inherently renewable. Those characteristics are of importance when NF are used as reinforcements in polymer composites, but developments in mechanical performance, reliability and economic viability are still required in order to be adopted fully by industry. The goal of this thesis was the development of a processing methodology for NFC laminate and subsequent material characterisation to assess the developed material suitability for building applications. Research objectives included materials selection, processing route development for laminates and tubes, manufacture of NFC laminates and analysis of mechanical properties in order to find an optimal composition. Hemp and flax fibres were selected as the reinforcement, because both have high mechanical properties and are important bast fibre crops in the European region with established cultivation and processing methods. As a matrix, fossil-fuel based and partially bio-derived thermoset resin systems were used. Handling and processing methodologies were developed for laminates and composite tubes based on filament winding and compression moulding techniques. The effects of the selected factors, namely material composition, volume fraction, processing parameters, reinforcement linear density, yarn twist, lamination sequence, yarn waviness and hybrid hemp-wool reinforcement were subsequently described in mechanical properties analysis of laminates. The influence of weathering conditions on the mechanical performance of the NFCs was examined. Furthermore, a study of NFC tubes under compression was performed. Results showed that the developed laminates reinforced with NF yarns have sufficient mechanical properties to be utilised in sandwich panels and/or tubes. However, a low resistance to moisture-related weathering restricts the developed NFCs for indoor applications.

The objective of the report is to investigate the feasibility and reliability of additive friction stir manufacturing of 7055 aluminum alloy. This is a technique in which multiple lap welds are performed to create a three-dimensional part out of relatively thin plate aluminum. To accomplish this, a four inch stack of 7055 aluminum alloy lap welds must be created. The solid weld nugget is then machined out of the center of the welded stack to create ASTM approved subsize tensile coupons. Rockwell hardness, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and percent elongation information is gathered from the tensile coupons to investigate the effectiveness of the additive friction stir manufacturing process. The data shows that the additive manufactured material experiences a significant reduction in strength and percent elongation while not showing any significant response to heat treatment. Suggestions are made regarding possible changes to the weld schedule that could improve the material properties of the additive manufactured aluminum.
