Enhancing the performance of dental composites with nanomaterial reinforcements via stereolithographic additive manufacturing
The compression strength of neat resin, hBN-reinforced resin, and BNNT-reinforced resin averaged 24.93 MPa, 25.92 MPa, and 36.31 MPa, respectively. SEM analysis revealed improved interfacial bonding, leading to enhanced load transfer and fracture resistance. FEM simulations corroborated these findings, highlighting the reinforcing effect of the nanomaterials.
