Development of a Nano‐Hybrid Composite Using Bovine Hydroxyapatite and Montmorillonite for Endodontic Applications—An In Vitro Study

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Hydraulic calcium silicate cements are widely employed in endodontics due to their excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, sealing ability, and remineralisation potential. However, currently used products such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) exhibit several limitations, including discolouration, cost, and poor handling properties ...

Compressive Properties of Nanoclay/Epoxy Nanocomposites

Procedia Engineering, 2012
AbstractThe effect of montmorillonite clay on the compressive properties of Epikote 828 epoxy was studied. A series of epoxy-based nanocomposites with 1-5wt.% nanoclay content was prepared. The degree of dispersion and exfoliation was investigated using transmission electron microscopy. Static uniaxial compression tests were conducted in order to study
