Hydrogels have become advantageous materials used in biomedical applications as catheter, soft contact lenses or drug carrying vehicle due to their features like biocompatibility, insoluble property aqueous solutions, resistance environmental conditions pH, temperature. Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease which leads the loss of tissue attachment, gingival recession, tooth periodontal pock...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effects of 40% hydrogen peroxide and 15% carbamide peroxide on microhardness and color change of a silorane-based composite resin in comparison with two methacrylate-based composites. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-four disc-shaped specimens (A3 shade) were fabricated of Filtek P90 (P90), Filtek Z350XT Enamel (Z350) and Filtek Z250 (Z250) (3ME...

The present-day interest in the use of composite-steel joints primary marine structures requires an in-depth knowledge fatigue performance thick adhesive joints. This paper reports on experimental tests performed compliant (i.e., and ductile) based a two-component methyl-methacrylate unaged aged conditions. Bi-material double strap joint with bondlines is subjected to quasi-static loading, duri...
