Introduction: Recent advances in the field of material sciences have opened up a new horizon of options for bonding agents that can be used efficiently in orthodontics. The purpose of this study was evaluate and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of the traditionally used Transbond XT and a newer nano-filled material Prime and Bond NT. Materials and methods: Sixty freshly extracted maxillary...

In the present research, nonlinear vibration in a coupled system of Boron-Nitride nano-tube reinforced composite (BNNTRC) oil pipes is studied. Single-walled Boron-Nitride nano-tubes (SWBNNTs) are arranged in a longitudinal direction inside Poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix. Damping and shearing effects of surrounded medium are taken into account by visco-Pasternak model. Based on piezoele...

Mass flow inequality in the initial stage of tube processing can lead to eccentricity and micro- nano-structural changes that affect residual stress texture development. In this study, macro- micro-texture development copper tubes drawn with a tilted die was investigated using three methods: synchrotron, neutron diffraction, electron backscatter positions maximum minimum wall thickness tubes. U...
