Resin coating technique is a unique method that improves the dentin bond strength of resin cements in indirect restorations. However, the weak link of a specimen bonded using the resin coating technique was reported to be the bonded interface between the resin coating material and resin cement. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to enhance the bonding performance between a resin coating ...

Several techniques have been used for sand production control in sandstone reservoirs.The main objective of this research is to present a suitable resin to be used as a consolidation agent in oil reservoirs. To achieve this purpose, urea-formaldehyde resin, phenol-formaldehyde resin, and modified urea-formaldehyde resin were selected to be studied. Core samples were made by the sand sample prov...

The aim of this study was to remove Cd by ion-exchange resin Amberjet 1200H in flow condition. The adsorption characteristics of metal onto the resin were accurately described by Freundlich isotherms. The ion exchange of cadmium on resin follows pseudo-second-order kinetics. Ion exchange capacities of the cadmium on the ion exchange resin was studied in metal solution. The capacities of sorptio...

It is attempted to augment a coating resin with a bleaching effect to provide both short- and long-term whitening effects. Base resin containing sodium percarbonate (SPC) effectively bleached bovine teeth discolored by the Maillard reaction. SPC did not reduce Vickers hardness, but hardness in the hybrid material increased. The shear bonding strength of SPC-containing resin was low. No inflamma...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the flexural strength and microhardness of provisional restorative materials fabricated utilizing rapid prototyping (RP), Computer Assisted Designing and Computer Assisted Milling (CAD-CAM) and conventional method. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty specimens of dimensions 25 mm × 2 mm × 2 mm (ADA-ANSI specification #27) were fabricated ...

The leading cause of oral pain and tooth loss is from caries and their treatment include restoration using amalgam, resin, porcelain and gold, endodontic therapy and extraction. Resin composite restorations have grown popular over the last half a century because it can take shades more similar to enamel. Here, we discuss the history and use of resin, comparison between amalgam and resin, clinic...

OBJECTIVES To examine the surface topographies, microhardness, and color stability of resin-infiltrated enamel lesions before and after aging challenges in vitro using three-dimensional laser scanning profilometry, surface microhardness testing, spectrophotometry, and scanning electron microscopy. METHODS Forty human third molars were embedded in epoxy resin, and each tooth was prepared to ha...

Resin flow is the primary means of natural defense against southern pine beetle (Dendroctonus frontalis Zimm.), the most important insect pest of Pinus spp. in the southern United States. As a result, factors affecting resin flow are of interest to researchers and forest managers. We examined the influence of fertilization, artificial wounding and fungal inoculation on resin flow in 6- and 12-y...

Three formaldehyde-based resins were prepared: urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin without melamine modifier (named UF0 resin) and melamineurea-formaldehyde (MUF) resins with melamine modifier added at two different synthesis stages (named MUF1 resin and MUF2 resin). The effects of the melamine addition stage on the performance and curing behavior of MUF resin were studied. Three-ply plywood bonded by...

The flexural strength and flexural modulus of an experimental metal-resin composite, which used Ag-In alloy particle as the filler, were evaluated. The effect of acid treatment and heat treatment on the Ag-In alloy particle was investigated. The flexural strength of the experimental metal-resin composites ranged from 65.5 MPa to 91.0 MPa. The flexural strength of the metal-resin composite incre...
