Two types of uniaxially oriented long S2-glass fiber reinforced composites were prepared for use in various dental appliances. Matrix polymers were polycarbonate (PC) and bisphenol A bis (2-hydroxy-propyl) methacrylate (Bis-GMA) based copolymers. Flexural tests were conducted on the composites using a procedure which simulates clinical usages. To evaluate the adhesion between the composites and the adhesive, the single-lap shear test was conducted. Mechanical properties of the small cross-sectional composite strips were superior to those used previously in clinical studies.
