OBJECTIVES Esthetic posts have been developed to maximize the foundation of esthetic restorations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of silane on the bond strength of three fiber-reinforced resin posts (fiber posts). METHODS Fifty-four extracted human maxillary central incisors and canines were endodontically treated. D.T. Light Post (DT, Bisco), FRC Postec (FR, Ivoclar Viv...

Herein, we report a facile route to synthesize silane coated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs@silane) with an ultrathin layer (the thickness: 1-2 nm), which not only provides good biocompatibility, but also affords hydrophobic interspace to load organic molecules to realize multifunctions. Besides the function of upconversion imaging of UCNPs, cancer therapy and oxygen level detection can also...

Silane-modified amphiphilic chitosan was synthesized by anchoring a silane coupling agent, (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, to a novel amphiphilic carboxymethyl-hexanoyl chitosan (CHC). The chemical structure of this new organic-inorganic hybrid molecule was characterized by FTIR and 13C-, 29Si-nuclear magnetic resonance, while the structural evolution was examined using scanning electron micros...

Silane-based plasmas are widely used to deposit nanostructured silicon thin films or to synthesize silicon nanoparticles. Dust particle formation in Ar/SiH4 plasmas is a continuous phenomenon: as long as silane precursors are provided, new dust generations are formed. Successive generations can be monitored thanks to various electrical (Vdc/3H) and optical (OES, video imaging) diagnostics. Expe...

objective: ceramics have advantages such as optimal esthetics and biocompatibility. however, in the oral environment, they are subjected to high levels of stress due to masticatory forces, saliva, thermal changes and alterations of ph, which increase their risk of fracture. since replacement of these restorations is costly and time-consuming, composite resin is often used for intraoral repair o...

silane to improve the adhesion of phosphate monomer-based (MDP) resin cement to glass ceramic. Resin and feldspathic ceramic blocks (n=48, n=6 for bond test, n=2 for microscopy) were randomly divided into 6 groups and subject to surface treatments: G1: Hydrofluoric acid (HF) 9.6% for 20 s + Silane + MDP resin cement (Panavia F); G2: HF 9.6% for 20 s + Silane + Heat Treatment (oven) + Panavia F;...

Silane coupling agent generally use as improve the properties of white filler use in rubber compound for better dispersion. Also silane coupling agent reacts with organic filler & polymer chain as crosslink. Here in this research study the crosslink density & swelling phenomena of silane participate in vulcanization process with Nitrile rubber compound. Also show the comparisons of carbon fille...
