abstract background and aim: one of the major problems with resin composite restorations is the weakness of bonding between the new and aged composites. since appropriate micromechanical retention is necessary for the repair of aged resin composite restorations, the level of surface roughness after sandblasting can be influential in this regard. considering the diverse composition of available ...

background and aim: in vitro studies have revealed a direct association between resin content and cytotoxicity of resin composites; but implantation studies in this regard are sparse. this study investigates the relationship between filler content of composite resins and biocompatibility. materials and methods: this study was conducted using 18 male wistar rats (180-200g), 1 nano-hybrid (prime-...

objectives: maintaining pulp vitality is a main goal in restorative dentistry. introduction of pulp capping agents paved the way to eliminate the shortcomings of these materials and obtain successful restorations. on the other hand, nanotechnology is an emerging field of science with increasing use in dental materials. this study sought to assess the effect of addition of nano-tio2, nano-sio2 a...

We report the fabrication of gold/polycarbonate (Au/PC) hybrid nano resonators on plastic substrates through a nano-transfer printing (nTP) technique, and the parametric studies of the resonant frequency of the resulting hybrid nano resonators. nTP is a nanofabrication technique that involves an assembly process by which a printable layer can be transferred from a transfer substrate to a device...

To date there has not been any report on catan-ionic hybrid lipidic nano-carriers, let alone a report on applying them to deliver insoluble anti-tumor drugs. Catan-ionic hybrid lipidic nano-carriers containing curcumin (CUR-C-HLN) inherit the merits of catan-ionic systems, hybrid lipidic systems and nano-structured carriers (the second-generation substitute of solid lipidic nano-systems). Catan...

Hybrid nano-materials offer potential scope for an increasing numerous novel applications when engineered to deliver availably functional properties. In the present study, the SiO2/MoS2 hybrid nanoparticles with different mass ratios were employed as lubricant additives in the base oil, and their tribological properties were evaluated using a reciprocating ball-on-plate tribometer for magnesium...

Three-component organic/inorganic hybrid films were fabricated by drop-casting the mixed dispersion of nanodispersed-poly(nickel 1,1,2,2-ethenetetrathiolate) (nano-PETT), polyimide (PI) and super growth carbon nanotubes (SG-CNTs) in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) at the designed ratio on a substrate. The dried nano-PETT/PI/SG-CNT hybrid films were prepared by the stepwise cleaning of NMP and methano...

Recently the applications of functionalized magnetic nano particles are increased in a linear fashion. This is due to the ease of synthesis and controlled growth of magnetic nano particles. In the present investigation gentamicin drug functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. Thus obtained nano hybrid was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) s...

bioelectronics has attracted increasing interest in recent years because of their applications in various disciplines, such as biomedical. development of efficient bio-nano hybrid materials is a new move towards revolution of nano-bioelectronics. a novel nano-bio hybrid electrode based on zno–protein for bioelectronics applications was prepared and characterized. the electrode was made by coval...
