| Research Abstract |
The cyclic loadings during mastication supposedly accelerate degradation of soft lining materials. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the cyclic loadings on viscoelastic properties of soft lining materials. Two plasticized acrylics, two silicones and one isoprene-based monomer contained elastomer were selected. Cylindrical-shaped specimens, 10 mm X 10 mm Φ, were prepared. Twenty specimens were subjected to cyclic loading in a water bath at 37 ℃ ; other twenty specimens were without cyclic loading. The viscoelastic properties were measured by a creep-meter. The cyclic loading significantly decreased heights of two materials, the instantaneous elastic displacements of one acrylic liner and the viscous flows of three materials. The cyclic loading affected mainly delayed deformations. Therefore, the cyclic loading was useful evaluating method for durability of soft lining material.
