Restorative dental materials must be produced with special characteristics because they are operating in a medium environment with different humidity and temperature. These day-to-day factors play an important role in the lifetime of such dental restorative materials. Resin composites have been by far the most successful in dental applications by meeting several stringent design requirements that are difficult to achieve with homogeneous materials, such as ceramics and metal alloys. The mechanical and tribological properties of direct restorative filling materials are crucial not only to serve and allow similarity to human enamel and dentine, but also to compare composites between them and determine the objective criteria for their selection. The objective of this research is to investigate the mechanical and tribological properties of some commercial restorative materials using the atomic force microscopy technique as a function of the operating temperature. Therefore, restorative materials are expected to replace and perform as natural tooth materials. The demand is so great that most of the time, restorative filling materials replace enamel and dentin, which have very different mechanical properties, namely hardness and elastic modulus. The scope is to estimate the lifetime of such materials starting from their nano-behaviors under nano-wear, nano-friction, nano-mechanical tests. To conclude, nanoindentation is an attractive method for measuring the mechanical behavior of small specimen volumes in dental hard materials. Using this technique, the mechanical and tribological properties of nanocomposite resins were investigated. This technique only evaluates the tribo-mechanical properties of a very shallow surface region of a specimen that may have undergone damage associated with mechanical preparation that is required to achieve a satisfactory flat sample for testing. Experimental study has been carried out with several normal loads and time-duration tests, i.e., representing several steps of severity conditions for materials under investigation.

AbstractScanning probe techniques have evolved significantly in recent years to detect surface morphology of materials down to subnanometer resolution, but without revealing spectroscopic information. In this review, we discuss recent advances in scanning probe techniques that capitalize on light-induced forces for studying nanomaterials down to molecular specificities with nanometer spatial resolution.

AbstractThis study investigates the development of novel montmorillonite/castor oil blends to formulate sustainable lubricating greases to promote the replacement of petrochemicals industry-derived materials by substances obtained from renewable sources. Specifically, the effect of the thickener concentration on the rheological, chemical, thermal, tribological properties, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) microstructure of these systems were studied. The results showed that the C20A nanoclay content could be used to modulate the viscosity values, the linear viscoelastic functions, and tribological properties of these montmorillonite dispersions. In general, these gel-like dispersions exhibited remarkable lubricant properties; the samples showed values of the friction coefficient and wear scars similar or lower than those obtained with model bentonite grease.
