The post core system has been used for reconstructon of severely damaged crown by caries or trauma. But problems such as crown exfoliation, post core fracture and root fracture have been reported. Ideal mechanical properies of the post require high fracture strength, high elastic limit and high resistance against fatigue and corrosion Modulus of elasticity of the post should be similar with that of dentine. Low hardness is also required for the convenience of post removal in failure. Furthermore, the post itself must be translucent for the esthetical purpose. Several types of the post have been developed to satisfy the criteria above mentioned. The purpose of this study was to find out the mechanical properties of quartz fiber post by comparing with those of gold post and zirconia post. The results of this study were as follows : 1. Maximal fracture strength and stiffness of quartz fiber post were similar with those of gold post and zirconia post. 2. Young's modulus and hardness of quartz fiber post were lower than those of gold post and zirconia post. Mechanical property of quartz fiber post against post fracture was similar with that of gold post and zirconia post. Mechanical property of quartz fiber post against root fracture was higher than that of gold post and zirconia post. Quartz fiber post could be removed easily due to low hardness.

PURPOSE. The influence of the modified process in the fiber-reinforced post and resin core foundation treatment on the fracture resistance and failure pattern of premolar was tested in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thirty-six human mandibular premolars were divided into 4 groups (n = 9). In group DCT, the quartz fibre post (D.T. Light-post) was cemented with resin cement (DUO-LINK) and a core foundation was formed with composite resin (LIGHT-CORE). In group DMO and DMT, resin cement (DUO-LINK) was used for post (D.T. Lightpost) cementation and core foundation; in group DMO, these procedures were performed simultaneously in one step, while DMT group was accomplished in separated two steps. In group LCT, the glass fiber post (LuxaPost) cementation and core foundation was accomplished with composite resin (LuxaCore-Dual) in separated procedures. Tooth were prepared with 2 mm ferrule and restored with nickel-chromium crowns. A static loading test was carried out and loads were applied to the buccal surface of the buccal cusp at a 45 degree inclination to the long axis of the tooth until failure occurred. The data were analyzed with MANOVA (${\alpha}$= .05). The failure pattern was observed and classified as either favorable (allowing repair) or unfavorable (not allowing repair). RESULTS. The mean fracture strength was highest in group DCT followed in descending order by groups DMO, DMT, and LCT. However, there were no significant differences in fracture strength between the groups. A higher prevalence of favorable fractures was detected in group DMT but there were no significant differences between the groups. CONCLUSION. The change of post or core foundation method does not appear to influence the fracture strength and failure patterns.

Teeth that have short clinical crown, which are not alone enough to support the definitive restoration can be best treated using the post and core system. The advantages of fiber post over conventional metallic post materials have led to its wide acceptance. In addition to that the combination of aesthetic and mechanical benefits of fiber post has provided it with a rise in the field of dentistry. Also the results obtained from some clinical trials have encouraged the clinicians to use the fiber posts confidently. Fiber posts are manufactured from pre-stretched fibers impregnated within a resin matrix. The fibers could that be of carbon, glass/silica, and quartz, whereas Epoxy and bis-GMA are the most widely used resin bases. But recently studies are also found to be going on for polyimide as possible material for the fiber post resin base as a substitute for the conventional materials.

연구 목적: 포스트로 수복한 치아의 미세누출을 방지하기 위한 다양한 술식이 개발되고 있고 이에 본 연구에서는 다양한 접착시스템을 이용하여 섬유 강화형 포스트로 수복한 치아에서의 치근부 미세누출에 대해 비교 연구하고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 36개의 근관치료된 상악 영구 중절치를 3가지 포스트 그룹으로 분류하였다: Zirconia-glass fiber, Quarze-glass fiber, Polyethylene fiber 포스트. 포스트 공간이 형성되었고 각 포스트는 세가지 접착시스템으로 접착되었다: 3-stage total-etch adhesive, 2-stage total-etch adhesive, 1-stage self-etch adhesive. 각 시편들을 2% 메틸렌 블루 용액에 1주일 동안 담구었다. 세척한 시편을 자가중합 아크릴릭 레진에 포매하였다. 각 시편을 치근단, 중앙, 치관 부위로 수평 절단하였다. 메틸렌 블루가 침투된 각 시편의 절단부를 교합면 측에서 stereomicroscope로 측정하였다. 시료 침투량은 메틸렌 블루 침투 표면과 총 상아질 표면의 비율로 평가하였다. 결과: 모든 절단부위에서 모든 군들은 미세 누출을 보였다. 각 절단 부위별로 접착 시스템에 따른 포스트간의 비교에서는 유의한 차이는 없었다. All Bond 2로 접착한 3단계 접착시스템으로 처리한 치아 중앙절편에서 zirconia-glass fiber와 quarze-glass fiber 포스트 간, zirconia-glass fiber와 polyethylene fiber 포스트 간, quarze-glass fiber와 polyethylene fiber 포스트 간에 미세누출에는 유의한 차이가 있었다(P<.05). 각각의 포스트의 치근단과 치관 부위 사이에는 유의한 차이가 있었고, quarze-glass fiber와 polyethylene fiber 포스트에서 치근단과 중앙 부위 사이에 유의한 차이가 있었다(P<.05). 결론: 포스트 종류에 따른 접착 시스템 간에 미세누출의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 각 절단 부위별로 접착 시스템에 따른 포스트간의 비교에서는 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 유일하게 3단계 접착시스템으로 처리한 포스트의 중앙절편에서 zirconia-glass fiber가 다른 포스트에 비해 유의하게 적은 미세누출을 보였다.

While ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is commonly reinforced with micro straight steel fibers in existing applications, studies have indicated that the use of deformed steel macro-fibers leads to enhanced ductility and post-peak responses for UHPC structural elements, which is of particular importance for earthquake-resistant structures. However, there are potential concerns regarding the use of UHPC reinforced with macro-fibers due to the issues of workability and fiber distribution. The objective of this study was to address these issues by extensively investigating the restricted and non-restricted deformability, filling ability, horizontal and vertical velocities, and passing ability of UHPC containing macro hooked-end steel fibers. A new approach is suggested to examine the homogeneity of fiber distribution in UHPC. The influences of ultra-fine fillers and steel macro-fibers on the workability of fresh UHPC and the mechanics of hardened UHPC were examined. It was found that although increasing the ratio of quartz powder to cement led to an improvement in the workability and tensile strain hardening behavior of UHPC, it reduced the fiber distribution homogeneity. The addition of 1% volume fraction of macro-fibers in UHPC improved workability, but reduced its compressive strength, which is contrary to the effect of micro-fiber inclusion in UHPC.

Catalytic filters consisting of Ni nanoparticle and carbon fiber with different oxidation states of Ni (either metallic or oxidic) were prepared using a chemical vapor deposition process and various post-annealing steps. CO oxidation reactivity of each sample was evaluated using a batch type quartz reactor with a gas mixture of CO (500 mtorr) and $O_2$ (3 torr) at $300^{\circ}C$. Metallic and oxidic Ni showed almost the same CO oxidation reactivity. Moreover, the CO oxidation reactivity of metallic sample remained unchanged in the subsequently performed second reaction experiment. We suggested that metallic Ni transformed into oxidic state at the initial stage of the exposure to the reactant gas mixture, and Ni-oxide was catalytically active species. In addition, we found that CO oxidation reactivity of Ni-oxide surface was enhanced by increase in the $H_2O$ impurity in the reactor.
