introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of various concentrations of naocl on shear bond strength of composite resin to dentin of primary teeth, prepared with laser and bur. methods: in this in vitro study, 48 primary molars were sectioned at mesiodistal direction and were randomly divided into 6 groups; g1: bur, g2: bur + naocl 2.5%, g3: bur + naocl 5.25%, g4: laser, g5:...

The performance of many consumer products suffers due to weak and inconsistent bonds formed to low surface energy polymer materials, such as polyolefin-based high-density polyethylene (HDPE), with adhesives, such as cyanoacrylate. In this letter, we present an industrially relevant means of increasing bond shear strength and consistency through vacuum metallization of chromium thin films and na...

soil colloid particles influence soil chemical and physical properties by their surface electrical charge. with respect to the importance of this issue from both agricultural and environmental points of view, charging behavior of a kaolinite sample was studied in the ph range of 4 to 10 and at three background electrolyte concentrations, including 0.005, 0.05, 0.5 m nacl, by potentiometric titr...

This study evaluated the shear-bond strength of a resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) restorative material to a new silorane-based composite and a methacrylate-based composite in a sandwich technique with various combinations of surface treatments and bonding agents. Two composites, 2 bonding agents and 4 surface preparations were used to create 16 groups with 10 specimens each. After 24 hours ...

background. repairing aged composite resin is a challenging process. many surface treatment options have been proposed to this end. this study evaluated the effect of different surface treatments on the shear bond strength (sbs) of nanofilled composite resin repairs. methods. seventy-five cylindrical specimens of a filtek z350xt composite resin were fabricated and stored in 37°c distilled water...

Ground motions recorded within sedimentary basins are variable over short distances. One important cause of the variability is that local soil properties are variable at all scales. Regional hazard maps developed for predicting site effects are generally derived from maps of surficial geology; however, recent studies have shown that mapped geologic units do not correlate well with the average s...

vegetation is known to increase hillslope stability by reinforcing soil shear resistance. this reinforcement depends on the density and tensile strength of the root systems. this paper presents the results of research carried out in order to evaluate the biotechnical characteristics of the root system of parrotia persica. the profile trenching methods was used to obtaining root area ratio (rar)...
