In order to further improve the mechanical properties of a metal-resin composite and avoid the problems which were found in the previous metal-resin composite using a 2-paste system, another type of metal-resin composite using a powder-liquid system was developed. In the new system 4-META treatment was carried out at low temperature and DMPT was separated from the 4-META treated particles. The efficacy of this system as well as the effects of 4-META concentration, duration of 4-META treatment (immersion time) and filler content on the flexural properties, working time and setting time were investigated. The flexural strength of the powder-liquid composite was significantly affected by two main factors, immersion time and filter content, and the other properties (flexural modulus, working time and setting time) were by all three main factors. The highest flexural strength of the prepared composite was 91.8 MPa, which was higher than that of the 2-paste composite (64.0 MPa) by about 43%. This was achieved at a 0.1 ratio of 4-META concentration, 30 s immersion time and 94 mass% filler content. The working time and setting time ranged between 2.3-13.6 min and 4.2-20.1 min, respectively, and those of the highest strength composite were 3.0 and 5.2, respectively. The results of the present study indicate that the powder-liquid system is effective to improve the properties of the metal-resin composite.
