Wettability of carbon fibers with resin matrices from dynamic contact angle measurements
Abstract: Wettability is the property that quantifies the propensity of a solid surface (carbon fiber) to be covered by a liquid (resin). For a wettable solid, the solid-liquid contact is favoured and as a result the liquid spreads on such surface of the solid. Spreading of the liquid on the solid surface is primarily driven by the adhesive forces between the liquid and the solid, while the inter molecular cohesive forces …

Nanoenabled resinbased composites in restorative dentistry: mechanical performance, aesthetic outcomes, and global regulatory considerations
Abstract: Resinbased composites are central to contemporary restorative dentistry but remain constrained by polymerization shrinkage, wear and color instability, which compromise longterm restoration success. Nanoenabled resinbased composites (nanocomposites) have been developed to overcome these limitations by incorporating nanosized fillers and engineered nanostructures into conventional resin matrices, thereby enhancing mechanical properties and optical performance. This narrative Review summarises current evidence on the evolution, composition, and mechanisms of nanoenabled resinbased composites; compares their …

Influence of Surface Treatments on the Adhesion of Plant Fibers to Epoxy Resin
Abstract: Because of their primary benefits, moderate strength and stiffness, low cost, and the fact that they are a renewable, biodegradable, and environmentally safe material, natural fibers are seen to have potential use as reinforcing agents in polymer composite materials. Since they are inherently hydrophilic, moisture can easily build up on them, weakening or plasticizing the fibers’ adhesion to the surrounding matrix and affecting the performance of composite materials used in …
