Recently, monolithic columns consisting of one piece of an organic polymer or silica with flow-through pores have been reported in the literature. These materials provide better stability and, more important, higher performance than conventional columns packed with particles. Although they can be prepared by various methods, monolithic columns prepared by the direct polymerization of monomers c...

Deformation modulus of rock mass has a significant role in the support design of an underground excavation. It is determined by expensive in-situ tests or by empirical models. Existing models for estimation of deformation modulus do not consider its stress dependence. Herein, data from several sources is used to develop a stress- (depth-) dependent relation for estimation of deformation modulus...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to analyze the relationship between fracture load of monolithic zirconia crowns and axial/occlusal thickness and to evaluate the fracture resistance of monolithic zirconia crowns with reduced thickness in comparison with that of monolithic lithium disilicate crowns with regular thickness. MATERIALS AND METHODS Monolithic zirconia crowns (Lava Pl...

A polar and neutral polymethacrylate-based monolithic column was evaluated as a hydrophilic interaction capillary electrochromatography (HI-CEC) stationary phase with small polar-neutral or charged solutes. The polar sites on the surface of the monolithic solid phase responsible for hydrophilic interactions were provided from the hydroxy and ester groups on the surface of the monolithic station...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of design and surface finishing on fracture strength of yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) crowns in monolithic (1.5 mm thickness) and bilayer (0.8 mm zirconia coping and 0.7 mm porcelain veneer) configuration after artificial aging. Bovine incisors received crown preparation and Y-TZP crowns were manufactured using CAD/CAM techni...

A benzoboroxole-functionalized monolithic column was synthesized, which exhibited the best specificity and affinity towards cis-diol containing biomolecules as compared with the boronate affinity monolithic columns reported as well as significant secondary separation capability under acidic conditions.

UNLABELLED This case report describes restoration of the edentulous maxilla and mandible with implant supported fixed prostheses using monolithic zirconia, where the incisal edges and occluding surfaces were made of monolithic zirconia. Edentulism is a debilitating condition that can be treated with either a removable or fixed dental prosthesis. The most common type of implant-supported fixed p...

A novel catalytic packing in biodiesel production using a monolithic structured support catalyst is studied. Calcium oxide (CaO) is chosen as the wash coat due to its well established property as a good catalyst. The experiment for the monolithic CaO (4 cm dia, 6 cm height and 400 cell inch -2 ) was performed in a 1000 mL monolithic reactor while the CaO powder experiment was carried out in a 1...

A facile "one-pot" approach to prepare organo-silica hybrid capillary monolithic column with intact mesoporous silica nanoparticle (IMSN) as crosslinker and building block was described. An IMSN crosslinked octadecyl-silica hybrid capillary monolithic column (IMSN-C18 monolithic column) was successfully prepared, and the effects of fabrication conditions (e.g. concentration of intact mesoporous...
