Electromagnetic bandgap structure consisting of an arbitrary number of cylinders are considered. In this paper, the scattering properties from this multilayered structure consisted of arbitrary shaped cylinders are analyzed. The method is used to study large varieties of configurations and structures in respect to varying shapes, sizes and material compositions. Practical applications are illus...

The morphology and the phase diagram of ABC triblock copolymer thin film directed by polymer brushes are investigated by the self-consistent field theory in three dimensions. The polymer brushes coated on the substrate can be used as a good soft template to tailor the morphology of the block copolymer thin films compared with those on the hard substrates. The polymer brush is identical with the...

This study aimed to verify marginal fit and the effect of cement film thickness standardization on retention of provisional crowns made with prefabricated acrylic cylinders on abutments, using two temporary luting agents subjected or not to mechanical cycling. Provisional crowns were made from bis-acryl (Luxatemp Fluorescence) or methyl methacrylate (Duralay) resins on acrylic cylinders and mar...
