Quantification of metal release from stainless steel electrodes during conventional and pulsed ohmic heating

Metal ion release from new and recycled stainless steel brackets.

As orthodontic appliances can corrode with time in the oral environment, the aim of this study was to compare the release of metal ions from new and recycled brackets immersed in buffers of different pH values over a 48 week period. To simulate commercial recycling, the stainless steel brackets were divided into two groups: new and recycled. The bases of the latter were coated with adhesive and...

Assessment of Nickel Release from Stainless Steel Crowns

OBJECTIVE Adverse effects of dental materials, especially metals, have been an important issue in recent decades. PURPOSE OF STUDY The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of nickel released from stainless steel crowns in artificial saliva. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in-vitro study, 270 stainless steel crowns were divided into five groups, each with nine subgroups. Each grou...

Effects of ohmic and conventional heating on anthocyanin degradation during theprocessing of blueberry pulp

The present work evaluates the anthocyanin degradation in blueberry pulp after thermal treatment using ohmic and conventional heating. The ohmic heating technology was studied using a rotatable central composite design, and the variables studied were voltage and solids content. The anthocyanin content of the samples was determined using HPLC. The results show that degradation increased with bot...

Electroformation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles on Stainless Steel Electrodes

Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are well-established model systems for studying membrane structure and dynamics. Electroformation, also referred to as electroswelling, is one of the most prevalent methods for producing GUVs, as it enables modulation of the lipid hydration process to form relatively monodisperse, defect-free vesicles. Currently, however, it is expensive and time-consuming comp...
