Composite or white plastic fillings, are used when esthetics is a concern. While the currently available materials used for composites may not be quite as strong as silver fillings on the chewing surfaces, they do excellently in the grooves, and dramatically lower the development of cavities. (Some insurance companies will pay for the less expensive amalgams instead of composite fillings.) They are glass filled resin fillings.
The distinct components used in laminating a multi-material bow limb; commonly fiberglass facing and backing, corewood, laminations, and a riser section.
Structural materials of metal alloys or plastics with built-in strengthening agents, e.g. carbon fibers.
materials made up of more than one base material, some times in layers or as a mixture
tooth-colored restorative materials
tooth-colored materials used as fillings or bonding to restore teeth. Most are made of resin, a plastic mixture filled with ground-up "glass" particles (silicon dioxide).
Composites, advanced composites, composite materials, composite structures, carbon fiber, honeycomb panels, hexagon honeycomb, aerospace, aluminum honeycomb & core manufacturers.
(n) The combination of two or more materials, one a reinforcing element and the other a resin binder or matrix. A common composite is fiberglass, which is made of glass fibers and a resin. The more advanced reinforcing elements include carbon/graphite, boron, and Kevlar (aramid), which are stiff, strong, and lightweight.
