Orthopedic implants should have sufficient strength and promote bone tissue regeneration. However, most conventional are optimized for use either under high mechanical load or active osseointegration. To achieve the dual target of durability biocompatibility, polyether ether ketone (PEEK) filaments reinforced with internal titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles via dopamine-induced polymerizatio...

background : in anterior endodontically treated teeth a better esthetic can be achieved by using all-ceramic post -core restorations instead of metal post systems. maximum retention and fracture resistance of the post are the criteria upon which selection of a post system is based. the aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance and retention of two all-ceramic post and core syste...

Thin film metal oxide coatings have been used commercially as electromagnetic filters from the UV to infrared regions for over half a century. Deposition onto a substrate has typically been accomplished using vapor deposition techniques and more recently sol–gel methods. These coatings provide very good optical and mechanical performance when applied to substrates with similar thermal and mecha...

Crystallization behaviors and related dielectric properties of semicrystalline matrix in polymer-ceramic nanocomposites have been systemically investigated by using P(VDF-TrFE) 70/30 mol.% as Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 nanoparticles filler. It is found that due to the presence ceramic nanofiller, there are two types crystals formed matrix: one on surface other polymer. The former favors all-trans ? phase i...

in this study, the elemental powders of aluminum and copper were initially subjected to mechanical alloying using an attrition ball mill under argon atmosphere to produce an al-4.5 wt% cu powder alloy. the wc nanoparticles were then added to the powder alloy and milled in a planetary ball mill to explore the role of the wc nanoparticles on the mechanical properties of the fabricated composite p...

A. Kishen (ed.), Nanotechnology in Endodontics: Current and Potential Clinical Applications, DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-13575-5_2, © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 Abstract Nanotechnology is emerging as an interdisciplinary fi eld that is undergoing rapid development and has become a powerful tool for various biomedical applications such as tissue regeneration, drug delivery, bio...

a palladium composite membrane was prepared via electroless plating technique using organic-inorganic method during activation process. the ceramic support surface was modified by two tio2-boehmite and one γ-alumina layers to avoid pd penetration in support pores. thin and defect-free pd composite membrane was obtained by creating a relative smoothness on the ceramic support and using pd nanopa...

Current procedures for the detection and identification of bacterial infections are laborious, time-consuming, and require a high workload and well-equipped laboratories. Therefore the work presented herein developed a simple, fast, and low cost method for bacterial detection based on hydroxyapatite nanoparticles with a nutritive mixture and the fluorogenic substrate. Calcium phosphate ceramic ...

Nanoparticles (NPs) as a nanotechnologies unit have huge potential for improving drilling fluids. However, the role of NPs in this field is still its infancy and consequently has attracted much more attention last years. This review going to investigate fluids modified by nanoparticles. Moreover, effects various nanoparticles include polymeric, ceramic, metal carbon-based on fluid technical eco...
