The aim of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical properties and the apical dentin bond strength of the tricalcium silicate-based Biodentine in comparison to white MTA and zinc oxide eugenol-based cement (ZOE). ...

Throughout history, natural stones have been used as building materials in the architectural heritage. The purpose of this research is to assess the influence of anisotropy on building granites’ behavior. This article deals ...

This paper presents the properties of a new fibre cement material formed by short ductile copper fibres randomly distributed in portland cement paste and compacted by compression to 35 MPa. The optimum percentage and the ...
