Summary: This study compared the performance of glass ionomer and nanofillers in dental composite. It explored the possibility of using glass ionomer as a replacement for expensive nanofillers and evaluated the impact of various parameters on the performance of dental composite through clinical and laboratory tests. The study critically evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of glass ionomer, focusing on surface roughness, mechanical properties, and wear properties. By analyzing fabrication and surface treatment methods, it compared the role of particulate fillers and glass ionomer in mechanical and wear testing mechanisms.

Summary: Carbon fiber reinforced composites have been widely studied due to their potential applications in various fields. However, the weak interface performance between the fiber and resin limits the overall properties of the composites. This review emphasizes the importance of introducing a third phase monomer, such as carbon nanotubes or graphene, to modify the interface structure. The effects of these nanomaterials on the fiber/resin interface and the relationship between the multi-scale interface structure and properties have been investigated. Various theories, such as transition layer, chemical bonding, mechanical interlocking, infiltration, diffusion, and adsorption, have been employed to improve the interface properties. Overall, this work provides valuable insights for the preparation of carbon fiber reinforced composites with enhanced interlaminar shear strength.
