Background: Silane-containing universal adhesives (UAs) are marketed as adhesion promotors for glass-ceramics. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the priming capacity of γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (γMPTS)-containing and γ-methacryloxypropyltriethoxysilane (γMPTES)/3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES)-containing lithium disilicate ceramic (LDC). Materials Methods: Etched LDC di...

Aim: This review investigated the effect of applying an adhesive after surface treatment glass-ceramics on bonding, mechanical or clinical behavior. Methods: Studies comparing adhesive, behavior glass-ceramics, with without application treatment, were included. Searches performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Web Sciences databases (January 2022), resulting 15 included studies. Results: Regarding eval...

SiO2 is widely used in nanocomposites as reinforcement nanoparticle to enhance mechanical properties especially wear resistivity. Prior use, surface modification with proper and sufficient coupling agent should be performed on it. Coupling concentration plays a key role process. In this study, the influence of 3-(glycidoloxy propyl) trimethoxy silane (GPTMS) nanoparticles, experimentally invest...

Abstract To monitor and manage hydrological systems such as brooks, streams, rivers, the use of tracers is a well-established process. Limited number potential salts, isotopes dyes, make study processes challenge. Traditional find limited due to lack multiplexed, multipoint tracing background noise, among others. In this regard, DNA based possess remarkable advantages including, environmentally...

Tethered-liquid perfluorocarbon (TLP) coatings show promise for blood-contacting medical device applications to reduce blood adhesion and delay thrombosis. However, their fabrication longevity under external fluid flow is not well characterized. A vapor phase silanization reaction leading the formation of tethered-perfluorocarbon (TP) layers containing large bumpy aggregates, 300 ± 200 nm thick...

We developed a novel, low-cost and simple method for the fabrication of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) by silanization of filter cellulose using a paper mask having a specific pattern. The paper mask was penetrated with trimethoxyoctadecylsilane (TMOS) by immersing into TMOS-heptane solution. By heating the filter paper sandwiched between the paper mask and glass slides, TM...
