Polymethacrylate Reinforcement: Affect on Fatigue Failure,

Abstract

The effect of carbon fiber reinforcement on the mechanical properties and flexural fatigue resistance of three proprietary denture resins was evaluated. Incorporation of chopped carbon fibers resulted in increases in fatigue resistance of 16 to 83 percent. Pretreatment of the fibers with a silane coupling agent resulted in values for fatigue resistance that were 42 to 100 percent higher than those observed for the unreinforced resins. Carbon fiber reinforcment did not significantly alter the mechanical properties of the test materials. (Author-PL).
