Objectives This study aimed to assess the effect of wet and dry finishing and polishing on microhardness and roughness of microhybrid and nanohybrid composites. Materials and Methods Thirty samples were fabricated of each of the Polofil Supra and Aelite Aesthetic All-Purpose Body microhybrid and Grandio and Aelite Aesthetic Enamel nanohybrid composite resins. Each group (n=30) was divided int...

statement of problem: microleakage is one of the most important problems in composite restorations. one way to reduce the microleakage is decreasing the total amount of resin by insertion of fibers in composite restorations. objectives: this study aimed to compare the microleakage of silorane and methacrylate-based composites (a nanohybrid) in class ii restorations with gingival margins on the ...

Magnetic sulfide-modified nanoscale zerovalent iron (S-nZVI) is of great technical and scientific interest because of its promising application in groundwater remediation, although its synthesis is still a challenge. We develop a new nanoparticle seeding method to obtain a novel and reactive nanohybrid, which contains an Fe(0) core covered by a highly sulfidized layer under high extent of sulfi...

Developing effective and safe drugs is imperative for replacing antibiotics and controlling multidrug-resistant microbes. Nanoscale silicate platelet (NSP) and its nanohybrid, silver nanoparticle/NSP (AgNP/NSP), have been developed, and the nanohybrids show a strong and general antibacterial activity in vitro. Here, their efficacy for protecting Salmonella-infected chicks from fatality and sept...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of two bleaching agents (10% and 35% hydrogen peroxide) on the color stability and surface roughness of two composites, one nanohybrid and one nanoparticle. Specimens were polished, aged, stained, bleached and polished again. The action of the bleaching agents on the composites was analyzed using a profilometer (surface roughness) and a spe...

An innovative photoresponsive cerasome is fabricated by sol-gel process in combination of self-assembly technique from a molecularly designed organoalkoxysilylated lipid containing an azobenzene unit, which is able to operate as a "valve" with an "on-off" function under specific stimuli to control the release of loaded guest molecules from the liposomal membrane.

A novel three-dimensional MoS2@Fe3O4 nanohybrid, composed of tubular MoS2 uniformly and densely decorated with particulate Fe3O4, is constructed, which exhibits significantly improved lithium storage performances through an impressive synergistic interplay between the two active materials.

in the current study, a magnetic inorganic–organic nanohybrid material (hpa/tpi-fe3o4) was produced and used as an efficient, highly recyclable and eco-friendly catalyst for the one-pot and multicomponent synthesis of 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-amine, diazepine-tetrazole and benzodiazepine-2-carboxamide derivatives with high yields and in a short range of time (20–35 min). the nanohybrid catalyst ...

Highly stable and freestanding nanohybrid cerasome with non-covalently linked two J-aggregates of cyanine dyes was constructed as a model to advance conceptual understanding of excitation energy transfer and energy trapping in connection with photobiological processes.

Positively charged, synthetic chrysotile nanotubes act as inorganic tectons supporting H- and J-type aggregates of anionic porphyrins with markedly different optical properties, making these nanohybrid materials of interest for application in nanotechnology.
