PURPOSE There have been anecdotal reports of low bond strength with autocured resin composite materials, particularly when light-cured bonding agents that combine primer and adhesive in a 1-bottle preparation are used. The objective of this study was to determine if the mode of polymerization of the bonding agent influences the strength of the attachment of autocured resin composite luting ceme...

Ceramics bonding is becoming an important technology and has found wide applications in different engineering and electronic industries. In this paper, furnace bonding of ceramics using solder glass frit was investigated with emphasis on the effects of surface treatment and bonding conditions on bonding strength. Alumina (Al2O3) sheet and SCHOTT solder glass G017-393 were used as the base and b...

statement of problem: bracket de-bonding during initial orthodontic archwire placement immediately after bracket set up or following re-bonding a single bracket can be a clinical concern. purpose: the aim of this in vitro study was to assess the effect of time on the shear bond strength of a no-mix orthodontic composite adhesive. materials and methods: seventy freshly extracted human upper firs...

Layered alloys and composite materials have become an increasingly popular in industrial development. The roll bonding (RB) process, as a solid phase method of bonding, has been widely used in manufacturing large layered strips. In this study, aluminum alloy (AA 5083) strips were roll bonded at warm and cold temperatures. The effects of the rolling parameters such as the amount of plastic deform...

In this work, the strength of cold roll bond of the commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) sheet and the effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on bond strength was investigated. Through the accumulative roll bonding process, which is considered among the important severe plastic deformation processes, the creation of suitable bonds plays a significance role in the ultimate strength of the bond. Thus, resear...

AIM The process of bonding orthodontic appliances to the enamel surface of the teeth has come to the forefront as a major improvement in bonding techniques. The purpose of this study is to compare the shear bond strength of stainless steel orthodontic brackets bonded using conventional direct bonding and indirect bonding as described by Thomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty sound human premolar...
