TL;DR: A new surface tailoring method of selective wet etching and organosilicon monomers deposition process on the short S-Glass fibre as a reinforcing material, resulting in increased mechanical retention and strong chemical bonding between glass fibres and polymer resin to maximise the mechanical properties of biomedical and dental composites.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the synthesis of the advanced dental composite systems with the recent research and development fields over the last five years, and also explore how to control and optimize the required properties of the composites, ideally to increase the longevity/durability of restorations preventing recurrent caries.

TL;DR: The modified Lewis-Nielsen equation was developed using the effective fiber length factor to accurately predict the modulus of the short fiber reinforced composites, and validated with experimental results.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative analysis on the interfacial adhesion behavior of the short glass fiber and dental resin matrix is performed combining the atomistic simulations and single fiber/microdroplet pull-out tests in micro-scale.

TL;DR: FBG sensing based technology is used to measure the linear post-gel PS at multiple locations within dental composite specimens, and is correlated with DOC and curing rate.
