the aim of this study was to assess the effect of bleaching on elution of monomers from nanofilled and microhybrid composites.80 samples (5mm diameter and 3mm thickness) of each composite were prepared. after curing, half of them were randomly polished. each group was divided into 8 subgroups and immersed in water or 10%, 20% and 30% h2o2 for 3 or 8 hours. eluted bis-gma (bis-phenol a glycidyl ...

Carvacrol is one of the main components of the EO of some Labiatae (Laminaceae) members like oregano, thyme and savory. Carvacrol has a lot of health benefits for example, antibacterial, and antioxidant activity.We synthesized some silicon derivatives of carvacrol, and characterized them by standard methods. Then the monomer of dimethylvinylsilyl carvacrol was synthesized. Copolymer of this mon...

The formulations contained different acrylate monomer with different structure and functionalities and TiO2, were applied to obtain pigmented acrylic films by UV exposure. The conversion and mechanical characteristic were correlated. The results showed that there is a significant interaction between pigment, reactive diluents’ type and mechanical properties of coatings. It seems that cured film...

By using a tridentate N^C^N-coordinating ligand, the luminescence of a cyclometallated Pt(II) complex can be shifted into the blue region, without the problematic drop-off in quantum yield observed for bidentate analogues. The combination of blue-shifted monomer and excimer allows white-emitting OLEDs with high colour rendering index to be produced.

Exposure of 3-phenylpropyl ethers to an activated iodosylbenzene monomer·18-crown-6 complex [PhI(OH)BF(4)·18C6] in the presence of BF(3)-Et(2)O and water results in the para-selective monofluorination of benzene ring via neighboring alkoxy group participation and directly affords 3-(4-fluorophenyl)propyl ethers regioselectively in good yields.

A series of Tn5 transposases (Tnp's) with mutations at the conserved amino acid position W450, which was structurally predicted to be important for synapsis, have been generated and characterized. This study demonstrates that W450 is involved in hydrophobic (and possibly aromatic) contacts within the Tnp monomer that negatively regulate synaptic complex formation.

The near-infrared and visible wavelength spectrum of the water dimer is considered to be the major contributor to the so-called water continuum at these wavelengths. However, theoretical models of this spectrum require the simultaneous treatment of both monomer and dimer excitations. A model for treating this problem is proposed which is based upon a Franck-Condon-like separation between the mo...

The assembly of proteoglycan aggregates in chondrocyte cell cultures was examined in pulse-chase experiments with the use of [35S]sulphate for labelling. Rate-zonal centrifugation in linear sucrose density gradients (10-50%, w/v) was used to separate the aggregated proteoglycans from monomers and to assess the size of the newly formed aggregates. The proportion of aggregates stabilized by link ...
