Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Organic fillers made from the green-synthesis process can be utilized in dental treatment due to their non-toxic characteristic of the oral environment. Dental fillers must be smaller to improve their mechanical, physical, and biological properties. Material processing and centrifugation contribute to the size of processed materials. This study evaluates the effect of different centrifugation speeds on the size and distribution of glutinous rice flour as organic dental filler. Methods: This experimental study uses glutinous rice flour suspended in water and then centrifuged at different speeds of 3000 and 6000 rpm compared to untreated glutinous rice flour as control. The particle size was examined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). Next, Fourier Transform Infra Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) were performed to evaluate whether there were structure and crystallinity changes. Finally, the cytocompatibility of fillers was examined by a cell viability test. Results: Centrifugation of glutinous rice flour at 3000 rpm resulted in smaller average size particles, evenly distributed, and higher crystallinity than other groups. There were no changes in functional groups, as shown by FTIR spectra. However, the processed samples were more amorphous compared to the control. Importantly, the processed samples appeared to be non-toxic, with a range of cell viability of 82.75-86.67% after 24 h incubation. Conclusion: Centrifugation speed of 3000 rpm has decreased in size, and a more homogenous particle size of organic filler made from glutinous rice flour. Importantly, it improved the cytocompatibility of particles compared to untreated control. Altogether, we proposed this organic material as a new potential material in the dental application that can be further investigated. Keywords: centrifugation speed; size distribution; organic dental filler; glutinous rice flour

Abstract

In aircraft structures, composite plate joints often present significant challenges. Mechanical fastenings such as pins, bolts, or rivets require holes to be drilled in the plates, which reduces the strength of the laminate due to stress concentrations around the hole edges. These joints frequently become sources of structural failure in aircraft. Therefore, the design of composite plate joints is crucial to maintain structural integrity. Adhesive joints offer several advantages over mechanical joints, including the ability to join two different materials, more uniform stress distribution along the joint, and reduced weight since no bolts or rivets are needed. The most common adhesive joint design is the Single Lap Joint (SLJ), which is popular due to its simple geometry and high structural efficiency. However, the main drawback of the SLJ is load eccentricity, which leads to secondary bending and undesirable normal stresses along the adhesive edges. The hypothesis of this study is that SLJ conditions with optimal shear strength can be achieved through the right combination of adhesive type, bond surface preparation, and joint configuration. This study analyzes the influence of various adhesive materials, joint designs, and manufacturing methods using numerical modeling methods, validated with analytical approaches and ASTM standard testing. Numerical modeling is conducted using the finite element method with a cohesive zone model (CZM) approach to examine stress distribution in various cases, such as the impact of geometry, adhesive thickness, and joint length. The normal and shear stress distribution along the joint is found to significantly affect the strength of the SLJ, highlighting the importance of careful design and material selection in these applications.
