Nanosized metal oxides dispersed polymer composites constitute a fascinating class of polymer composite materials. Synthesis of such composite materials through solvent casting enhances the polymer synthetic technology. Solvent casting method was used to prepare Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) dispersed Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nano composite<span style="text-decoration: und...

We calculate four-fermion decays of a Higgs boson via WW and/or ZZ intermediate states for Higgs masses below mW . We examine models with a doublycharged Higgs boson H and show that the four-fermion decay is the dominant mode for a wide range of parameter space. Existing searches for H in Z decays have not looked for this mode. We also derive four-fermion decay rate for a neutral Higgs boson.

We develop a phenomenological description of the nu=5/2 quantum Hall state in which the Halperin-Lee-Read theory of the half-filled Landau level is combined with a p-wave pairing interaction between composite fermions (CFs). The electromagnetic response functions for the resulting mean-field superconducting state of the CFs are calculated and used in an RPA calculation of the q and omega depend...

introduction: whitening toothpastes which have been accepted in populations may affect properties of enamel and restorative materials. the aim of this study was to compare the microhardness of human enamel and z250 microhybrid composite resin after brushing with two whitening toothpastes. materials and methods: in this experimental study of enamel specimens, forty five freshly extracted human i...

objectives: the aim of this study was to compare polymerization depth of two bulk-fill and one conventional composite cured for different times. methods: this in vitro experimental study was conducted on 54 composite samples (2×4×10mm) fabricated of tetric n-ceram bulk-fill, x-tra fil bulk-fill, and grandio conventional composite cured for 20, 30, and 40 seconds. the microhardness of samples wa...

tooth fracture is a common dental problem. by extension of cavity dimensions, the remaining tooth structure weakens and occlusal forces may cause tooth fracture. the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the fracture resistance of teeth restored with direct and indirect composite restorations.sixty-five sound maxillary premolar teeth were chosen and randomly divided into five groups eac...

objectives: this study sought to compare the push-out bond strength of two bulk-fill and one conventional composite to intracanal dentin in primary anterior teeth. materials and methods: this in vitro, experimental study was conducted on 39 primary anterior teeth, which were randomly divided into three groups. after cleaning and shaping, the root canals were filled with metapex in such a way th...
