The flexural strength and flexural modulus of an experimental metal-resin composite, which used Ag-In alloy particle as the filler, were evaluated. The effect of acid treatment and heat treatment on the Ag-In alloy particle was investigated. The flexural strength of the experimental metal-resin composites ranged from 65.5 MPa to 91.0 MPa. The flexural strength of the metal-resin composite incre...

The complexation of Alkali metal cations by the water-soluble p-sulfonic acid calix(4)arenewas thermodynamically characterized using spectrophotometeric data which are consistentwith the formation of a 1:1 complex resulting from electrostatic interactions between thesulfonato groups and alkali metal cations. In this study, we determined the formationconstants (log K) of the complexes and have c...

Alkali metal salts of thiocarboxylic acid, especially anhydrous salts, are of the most important starting materials. However, only a limited amount of information on their preparation and spectral data has been available because of their strong hygroscopicity [1]. Recently, the convenient preparation methods of a series of anhydrous alkali metal dithiocarboxylates were developed [2]. This resul...

We present a comprehensive theory of nuclear spin polarization of He and Xe gases by spin-exchange collisions with optically pumped alkali-metal vapors. The most important physical processes considered are ~1! spin-conserving spin-exchange collisions between like or unlike alkali-metal atoms; ~2! spin-destroying collisions of the alkali-metal atoms with each other and with buffer-gas atoms; ~3!...

The aim of this study was to develop an effective primer to improve the adhesive property between all kinds of dental metal alloy and resin cement. To this end, we synthesized N,N'-dimethacryloylcystine (NDMCC) which had both disulfide functional group (to improve adhesion between precious metal alloy and resin) and carboxyl group (to improve adhesion between non-precious metal alloy and resin)...

in this study, porcelain bond strength to three different alloys of gold-base, pd-ag and base-metal were compared and the effect of repeated porcelain sintering on bond strength was evaluated. the obtained results showed best bond strength of porcelain with gold-base alloy. pd-ag and base-metal alloys showed less strength respectively. during repeated sintering of porcelain, bond strength has n...

the complexive abilities of 5,11,17-tddert-butyl-23 amino-25.26,27,28-tet3propoxy-calix[4]arere and5,1127-tri-amino-23 acelyktert-butylamide-25,26,27,28-tetrabutoxy-calixplarene towards alkali metalions lit nat, kt ric and cs+ in methanol-chloroform mixture have been evaluated at 25 °c, using uvvis spectrophotometric techniques. the results showed that the hgands are capable to complex with all...

Alkali metal compounds have been known since antiquity. In 1807, Sir Humphry Davy surprised everyone by electrolytically preparing (and naming) potassium and sodium metals. In 1808, he noted their interaction with ammonia, which, 100 years later, was attributed to solvated electrons. After 1960, pulse radiolysis of nearly any solvent produced solvated electrons, which became one of the most stu...
