direct composite resin restorations are widely used and the impact of different storage temperatures on composites is not well understood. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength of composite to dentin after different pre-curing temperatures.occlusal surfaces of 44 human molars were ground with diamond burs under water coolant and polished with 600 grit silicon ...

objective: optimal dentin bonding is not always obtained in clinical practice due to func-tional forces. these forces may provide stresses throughout the tooth and restorative sys-tem, which in turn may affect the adhesive bond. this experimental study evaluated the effect of load cycling on bond strength of self-etch systems. materials and methods: one third of the coronal portions of 48 intac...

Color is one of the phenotypic markers mostly used to study soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) in the study of genetic, molecular and biochemical processes, due to their easy recognizability. The genetic control of several soybean natural variants has not been studied. The standard phenotype of R gene is black hilum on black seed. The genetic type T16 is the only occurrence with brown hilum on blac...

Air plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are widely used in gas turbines to provide insulation for the metallic engine components. During service, multi-layered and multi-material systems undergo mechanical degradation. The degradation mechanisms include sintering, phase transformation, residual stress, oxidation, erosion CMAS attack. leads initiation propagation of cracks at or near ...

Most of the energy was being lost through cooling system and exhaust gas, to utilize that convert it a useful job thermal barrier coatings is widely used. Tests were conducted on four stroke, single cylinder diesel engine for which its piston crown coated with thickness 100/100 microns YSZ/TiO2 over 100 NiCr bond coat plasma spray coating technology then results compared uncoated piston. Therma...

High velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF)coating have shown high resistance to corrosion in fossil energy applications and it is generally accepted that mechanical failure, e.g. cracking or spalling, ultimately will determine coating lifetime. The use of HVOF thermal spray to apply coatings is one of the most commercially viable and allows the control of various parameters including powder particle velocit...

The one-dimensional model of Lippincott and Schroeder for hydrogen bond has Been re-examined and it has been shown that O-H bond distance depends on repulsive van der Waals and attractive electrostatic potentials.it has been shown that constant b in the van der Waals repulsion potential is not transferable to all hydrogen bonds. The possibility of obtaining the semi-empircal parameters i...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of one-step self-etch adhesives on enterococcus faecalis on days 1, 7 and 14 with the use of modified direct contact test. materials and methods. the modified direct contact test was used to evaluate the antibacterial effect of adper easy one, bond force, clearfil s3 bond, futurabond m, g-bond, ibond and optib...

In dynamic force spectroscopy, a (bio-)molecular complex is subjected to a steadily increasing force until the chemical bond breaks. Repeating the same experiment many times results in a broad distribution of rupture forces, whose quantitative interpretation represents a formidable theoretical challenge. In this study we address the situation that more than a single molecular bond is involved i...
