The newly introduced self-adhering flowable resin-composites Background: decrease the required time for application by incorporation of an acidic adhesive monomer, thus reducing the number of the steps, but its bonding is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interfacial microscopic examination and chemical analysis at the resin-dentin interface of a self-adhering flowable ...

Microsilica concrete was prepared with a water-binder ratio of 0.35. Microsilica was used as a 10% replacement of cement by weight. Cylinder and cube specimens were cast for testing different hardened properties of the concrete. Three curing methods such as water curing, wrapped curing, and dry-air curing were applied at 20±2 C to cure the cylinder and cube specimens until the 0 day of testing....

In molecular dynamics simulation, the cross-linked epoxy resin model can well simulate performance of in actual use. We have established a and composite aluminum at level. Based on ReaxFF, reaction simulation pyrolysis aging was carried out by Lammps. The aged is decomposed into H 2 , CO, O, CO CH 4 O. Tensile system out, stress-strain curve obtained. Compared with non-aging, maximum stress red...

Refractive index control of benzocyclobutene (BCB 4024-40) is achieved by facilitating different conditions during the thermal curing of BCB film. Refractive index (RI) change of 1.49% is obtained with curing of BCB film using an oven, while the RI change is 0.1% when the BCB is cured using a hotplate. The two different curing methods exhibit a temperature dependent refractive index change of t...

As regards if curing stops for some time and then resumes again, then strength gain will also stop and reactive, in this study with choose suitable curing conditions after improper first curing (recurring) for normal and silica-fume concrete, Effect of this curing conditions on strength and permeability was investigated. The results from tests such as compressive strength, capillary water absor...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare postoperative sensitivity following placement of posterior composite restorations using the fast- or step-curing modes of an LED curing light. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients participated, with each having two homologous contralateral posterior teeth with Class II carious lesions. One restoration was cured using the fast-curing mode of the LE...

Vacuum drying of Salicornia herbacea L. was performed at different drying temperatures (50, 60, 70, and 80°C) to evaluate the drying characteristics and the effect of drying temperatures on the quality of Salicornia. As the drying temperature increased, the drying time decreased significantly (P< 0.05). The drying rate decreased with decrease in moisture content and increase in drying time. On ...

present research involves the complete simulation of pultrusion manufacturing process of glass/polyester composites. for that purpose, the curing process is divided to two liquid and gel-solid phases. the physical characteristics of the resin consist of specific heat, viscosity and coefficient of heat transfer changes with variations of temperature and increasing the degree of curing process (α...

This paper investigated the effect of freezing-thawing and wetting-drying cycles on strength durability clay soil stabilized with lime marble powder. The test samples were prepared by adding 5%, 10%, 15% 20% powder, without 6% to which is a high plasticity (CH) according Unified Soil Classification System. Unconfined compressive tests performed after 7 28 days curing periods. behavior was exami...
