We sought to evaluate immediate and delayed micro-tensile bond strength of Panavia F2.0 and Multilink Sprint resin cement to superficial, deep and cervical dentin. Thirty-six freshly extracted non-carious human molars were sectioned in the mesiodistal direction to expose three different dentin regions including superficial dentin (1 mm below the dentine-enamel junction), deep dentin (1 mm above...

Pressurized water reactor (PWR) cores operate under extreme environmental conditions due to coolant chemistry, operating temperature, and neutron exposure. Extending the life of PWRs requires detailed knowledge of the changes in mechanical and corrosion properties of the structural austenitic stainless steel components adjacent to the fuel (internals) that are inherent to such conditions. This ...

Results The USP Class I Min. Avg. 2-0 Suture Knot-Pull Tensile Strength (Doubled for Loop Test) is defined as 2.88 kgf. The Tensile Strength of Lot # 1-9364 was 4,7761 ± 0,2005 kgf (mean ± std dev) min 4.2282, max 5.2289, and for Lot # 1-9364 was 5,5151 ± 0,2625 kgf (mean ± std dev) min 4,0044, max 5,1356, respectively. There were no statistically signiffcant differences between the both lots (...

objective: among the various impression materials, for alginate tear strength is probably more important than the compressive strength. the tear strength is important when an impression involves a mechanical undercut and/or lacks bulk strength to resist tearing. this study evaluated tear strength of iralgin and compared it with tear strength of alginoplast. methods: in this invitro experimental...

In this paper, a compression-to-tensile load converter device is developed to determine the anisotropic tensile strength of brittle material. A cubic sample with an internal pore was used as the test specimen, and a series of finite element analysis and DDM simulations were performed thereafter to analyse the effect of pore dimensions on the stress concentration, as well as to render a suitable...

Xylan extracts from southern US hardwood were used for the adsorption of both hardwood and softwood pulp. Pulp beatability and physical strength properties were determined and compared with those of the conventional Kraft pulp and pre-extracted modified Kraft pulp. The results indicated that hemicelluloses adsorption greatly improved pulp beatability. Compared to conventional Kraft pulp, a sign...
