BACKGROUND Bond strength of adhesive layer can absorb unwanted stresses of polymerization shrinkage in composite resin restorations; increased microshear bond strength can prevent failure of restoration materials, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of adhesive layers on microshear bond strength of nanocomposite resin to dentin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two different types of adh...

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) is an inorganic-organic nano-layered material that harbours drug between its two-layered sheets, forming a sandwich-like structure. It is attracting a great deal of attention as an alternative drug delivery (nanodelivery) system in the field of pharmacology due to their relative low toxic potential. The production of these nanodelivery systems, aimed at improving ...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Acid producing bacteria including Streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli cause tooth demineralization and lead to tooth decay. Also, oral colonization of the species of Candida has been reported in many studies that are resistant to antifungal agents. OBJECTIVES In this study, antibacterial and antifungal effects of nano-CuO were studied against some oral bacteria and yeas...

we report on the synthesis, morphology, chemically and structurally of tio2-cuo-sio2 nanostructure with different precursors molar ratio and calcined temperatures. in the present work, ternary reactive powders in the tio2-cuo-sio2 systems have been obtained using the sol-gel method, by the simultaneous gelation of all cations. the compounds and other elements change in special chemical and phys...

We synthesized the novel nanocomposite consisting of alternately stacked single graphene sheets and a C60 monolayer by using the graphite intercalation technique in which alkylamine molecules help intercalate large C60 molecules into the graphite. It is found that the intercalated C60 molecules can rotate in between single graphene sheets by using 13C NMR measurements. The grease with the nanoc...

BACKGROUND The detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitrite ion (NO2-) is of great important in various fields including clinic, food, pharmaceutical and environmental analyses. Compared with many methods that have been developed for the determination of them, the electrochemical detection method has attracted much attention. In recent years, with the development of nanotechnology, many ki...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of tow nanoparticles (NPs) on the absorption, accumulation, reproduction of the Eisenia fetida. A 4×2×2 factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted. The factors included in the experiment are the content of NPs at four levels (0, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2gr/kg weight of substrate), the type of NPs at two le...

OBJECTIVES The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of nanosized aluminum trioxide (Al2O3) particles when added to the Nano-Bond adhesive system and its effect on the microshear bond strength of nanocomposite resin to dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS A newly developed adhesive (Nano-Bond) and one type of light-cured resin restorative material (nanocomposite resin) were used in this...

a modified electrode was prepared by modification of the carbon paste electrode (cpe) with graphene nano-sheets. the fabricated modified electrode exhibited an electrocatalytic activity toward gallic acid (ga) oxidation because of good conductivity, low electron transfer resistance and catalytic effect. the graphene modified cpe had a lower overvoltage and enhanced electrical current respect to...
