PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of nano-structured alumina surface coating on shear bond strength between Y-TZP ceramic and various dual-cured resin cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 90 disk-shaped zirconia specimens (HASS CO., Gangneung, Korea) were divided into three groups by surface treatment method: (1) airborne particle abrasion, (2) tribochemicalsil...

In this paper the influence of two different sizes of silica particles (micro-silica and nano-silica) was studied on mechanical properties of sulfur and sulfur composite. To improve the structural properties, sulfur was plasticized using dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and methyl styrene (MSt). Plasticized sulfur composite was prepared by melt blending of plasticized sulfur and silica particles. T...

Photothermal stability and, therefore, consistency of both optical absorption and photoacoustic response of the plasmonic nanoabsorbers is critical for successful photoacoustic image-guided photothermal therapy. In this study, silica-coated gold nanorods were developed as a multifunctional molecular imaging and therapeutic agent suitable for image-guided photothermal therapy. The optical proper...

Silica sol nano-abrasives with large particle are prepared and characterized by TEM, PCS and Zeta potential in this paper. Results show that the silica sol nano-abrasives about 100nm are of higher stability (Zeta potential: -65mV) and narrow distribution of particle size. And then alkali CMP slurries for tungsten containing self-made silica sol nanoabrasives are prepared and applied. CMP result...

Nano silica-H2SO4 is an efficient and mild catalysis system for the regeneration of aldehyde from aldoximes. Ketoximes are converted to amides by Beckmann rearrangement in the presence of nano silica-H2SO4. The reactions are carried out in solvent-free conditions under microwave irradiation (600 W) within 50-120 sec in good yields.

Spontaneous movement of condensed matter provides a new insight to efficiently improve condensation heat transfer on superhydrophobic surface. However, very few reports have shown the jumping behaviors on the sprayable superhydrophobic coatings. Here, we developed a sprayable silica nano-porous coating assembled by fluorinated nano-chains to survey the condensates' dynamics. The dewdrops were c...

Phosphosulfonic acid as a multi solid site was easilyprepared from the reaction of ammonium dihydrogen phosphatewith chlorosulfonic acid in CCl4and for improved its catalyticactivity was supported nano Silica was extracted from husk ricecontains about 95% of Silica the size of extracted nano silica wasdetermined by SEM efficiency of this solid acid in four componentcondensation reaction of arom...

The nano-sized silica fillers reinforced poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) composites were fabricated by means of compression molding technique. he nano-sized silica, measuring 30 nm in size, was firstly modified by surface pretreatment with stearic acid. The performances and properties f the resulting PEEK/SiO2 nanocomposites were examined in terms of tensile loading, hardness, dynamic mechanica...
