Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the flexural properties of PMMA reinforced with domestic glass fibers compared to PMMA reinforced with dental glass fibers. Thirty-two PMMA bar specimens in the size of 10x64x3.2 mm3 (ISO 20795-1) were divided equally into 4 groups (eight specimens for each) according to the types of fibers: 1) no fibers 2) dental fibers 3) silane impregnated domestic glass fibers 4) non-silane impregnated domestic glass fibers. All specimens were subjected to 2,000 cycles of thermocycling. Flexural strength was determined using a three-point loading test set up at a crosshead speed of 5 mm/min by Universal Testing Machine Model 5566. Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the microstructure of the cracked surface at 200X and 1000X. The results were analyzed by One-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD (α=0.05). Results: The silane impregnated domestic glass fibers demonstrated the highest flexural strength compared to the others while the non-impregnated domestic glass fibers had the lowest flexural strength. CONCLUSION Reinforcing PMMA with silane impregnated domestic glass fibers could improve its flexural strength.
