  • Patent number: 11305479
    Abstract: A cartridge (1) for a 3D printer, wherein the cartridge (1) has a nozzle or is designed in such a way that a predefined nozzle can be formed in the cartridge (1). The cartridge (1) contains a dental composite material, and the dental composite material comprises a curable, in particular a light-hardenable, matrix and only fillers having a maximum particle size of <5 ?m. The dental composite material has a viscosity, in a non-cured state, in the range of 1 to 10,000 Pa*s, preferably 10 to 2,000 Pa*s, more preferably between 50 to 800 Pa*s.

  • Publication number: 20180185118
    Abstract: A method for producing a dental restoration structure (1) that is to be individually manufactured by 3D printing. The method includes the following steps: i.) placing a substructure (2) in a 3D printer (3), in particular on a support plate (4); ii.) determining at least one of the form and/or the position of the substructure (2) in the 3D printer (3); iii.) comparing the determined form and/or position of the substructure (2) with 3D data of the dental restoration structure (1) to be individually manufactured; optional applying a connecting layer to the substructure (2) and/or conditioning the substructure (2); and iv.) applying material, in particular application of a composite material, on the substructure (2) in a 3D printing method such that the dental restoration structure (1) that is to be individually manufactured is obtained.

  • Patent number: 8409486
    Abstract: The invention describes a new synthetic fiber material of polyhydroxyether, as well as a melt-spinning method for its production. The new material can be used, in particular, for stabilization of the reinforcement fibers of high-performance fiber composite materials before they are embedded in the matrix material. During this usage, the polyhydroxyether fiber material dissolves at a temperature above its glass transition temperature entirely in the matrix material, so that the reinforcement fibers can be arranged largely free of kinking. In addition, it forms cross-links with the matrix material to form a homogeneous matrix and thus does not constitute a disruptive third phase in the composite material. The compatibility of the matrix and reinforcement fiber is also improved. It was possible to improve the bending strength of test slabs by 12% as compared to that of reference slabs with polyester filament.

  • Publication number: 20050227047
    Abstract: There is proposed a process for the preparation of a temperature regulating surface and/or structures on a substrate. With the novel process a stencil print preferably on textile surfaces is proposed, wherein the print is in particular designed in the form of nubs, which contain a high concentration of a temperature regulating material, preferably paraffin. By the accumulation of the temperature regulating material in the form of a plurality of nubs the elasticity and the breathability and the possibility of a vapor and moisture exchange of the substrate is maintained to a great extent. Furthermore, there are proposed products, preferably textile articles, onto which the temperature regulating surfaces have been applied by means of the proposed process.

  • Patent number: 6207276
    Abstract: In a core-shroud bicomponent fiber, which exhibits a core and a shroud at least partially enveloping the core, an elevated abrasion behavior, a low compaction under exposure to temperature and pressure and a high strength of the fibers is achieved by having the shroud consist of 45-98% w/w of a first polyamide having a melting point exceeding 280° C., and 2-20% w/w of a layer silicate.
