statement of problem: in some clinical situations, repair of composite restorations is treatment of choice. improving the bond strength between one new and old composite usually requires increased surface roughness to promote mechanical interlocking since chemical bonding might not be adequate. similarly, the treatment of a laboratory fabricated resin composite restoration involves the same pro...

copper–silver bimetallic strips were produced by cold roll welding process and were treated by diffusion annealing in the temperature range 250–800 ?c. the interface bonding strength was determined by bending and peeling tests, resistance, conductivity and micro hardness profiles were determined and microstructure in the interface region was observed by optical microscope. electrical resistance...

Wafer bonding with intermediate polymer adhesives is an important fabrication technique for advanced microelectronic and microelectromechanical systems, such as three-dimensional integrated circuits, advanced packaging, and microfluidics. In adhesive wafer bonding, the polymer adhesive bears the forces involved to hold the surfaces together. The main advantages of adhesive wafer bonding include...

The hydro-mechanical coupling transport process of sand production is numerically investigated with special attention paid to the bonding effect between sand grains. By coupling the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and the discrete element method (DEM), we are able to capture particles movements and fluid flows simultaneously. In order to account for the bonding effects on sand production, a cont...

For discovering the components that contributed to the bonding strength of the glue substances produced by appressoria of Pyricularia oryzae on wax-coated cover-glasses, the influences of metabolic inhibitors and hydrolytic enzymes were investigated. The bonding strength of appressoria was assessed by the ratio of the remaining appressoria after sonication to the appressoria formed before sonic...

Abstract Introduction: The demand of patients for tooth-colored restorations is increasing, and the need for proper dental bonding agents is undeniable. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of general dentists practicing in Rasht city about dental bonding agents in 2020. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 161 dentists working in Rasht city wer...
