PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the color stability, water sorption and cytotoxicity of thermoplastic acrylic resin for the non-metal clasp dentures to those of thermoplastic polyamide and conventional heat-polymerized denture base resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three types of denture base resin, which are conventional heat-polymerized acrylic resin (Paladent 20), thermoplastic po...

Mixed polyester resins are fascinating materials in toner development because of the possibility to tune the toner properties by the simple mixing of different resin components. But the miscibility of two different components with quite different properties is still a challenge in both pulverized and chemical toners. For chemical toners, one alternative is to use organic media to dissolve both ...

Protein immobilization confers the advantages of biological systems to a more chemical setting and has applications in catalysis, sensors, and materials development. While numerous immobilization techniques exist, it is optimal to develop a well-defined and chemically stable methodology to allow for full protein function. This paper describes the utilization of unnatural amino acid technologies...

objective: evaluating the effect of resin coating and chlorhexidine on microleakage of two resin cements after water storage. materials and methods: standardized class v cavities were prepared on facial and lingual surfaces of one hundred twenty intact human molars with gingival margins placed 1 mm below the cemento-enamel junction. indirect composite inlays were fabricated and the specimens we...

The classical methods for the isolation of soil organic matter (SOM) components use aqueous base or neutral salt solutions, and combinations of aqueous base and pyrophosphate. Organic solvents have been rarely used, largely because of difficulties in recovering solutes. This review provides the relevant chemistry of aqueous and organic chemicals relevant to extracting and fractionating the comp...

Shell nacre from Pinctada species has been extensively researched for managing bone defects. However, there is a gap in the research regarding using shell powder as cement with improved biological and physicochemical properties. To address this, void filling was formulated by incorporating an organically modified ceramic resin (ormocer). The specifically processed shells of fucata analysed ther...
