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-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...

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...

The effects of an ammonia-based catalyst, surface coverage, organofunctional group and chain length on silane adhesion promoter efficacy were examined at a benzocyclobutene (BCB)/silicon dioxide interface with silanes of varying functionality and chain length. Fracture-mechanics-based techniques, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and contact-angle measurements were used to quantify the adhes...

AIM To evaluate and compare the shear bond strength of metal brackets bonded to ceramic surfaces using different conditioning methods and to assess the site of bond failure after debonding. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 70 ceramic surfaces were produced with uniform shape, size and composition. The samples were divided into 7 groups (each of 10 samples). Group 1 was the control group (untr...

OBJECTIVES Three activated organofunctional silane coupling agents alone and blended with a non-functional cross-linker silane were evaluated as adhesion promoters in an experiment where a bis-GMA (bis-phenol-A-diglycidyldimethacrylate) resin was bonded to silicatized titanium. The adhesive performances of the silanes were assessed as shear bond strength values. MATERIALS AND METHODS 3-Methac...

The present work reports an effect of surfacemodification of indium tin oxide (ITO) particles with chemicals on their electronic conductivity properties. Examined chemicals were polyvinyl alcohol (nonionic polymer), poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (cationic polymer), poly(sodium 4-styrene-sulfonate) (anionic polymer), (2-aminopropyl) trimethoxy silane (APMS) (silane coupling agent with...

This work is aimed to evaluate the role of nanoclay in the protective performance of an eco-friendly silane sol-gel layer applied on mild steel substrate in 0.1M sodium chloride solution. At the first step, the effect of pH of the silane solution, consisting of a mixture of γ-glycidoxypropiltrimethoxysilane and methyltriethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane, on the coating performance was evaluate...

OBJECTIVES This study characterized the feldspathic ceramic surfaces after various silanization protocols. METHODS Ceramic bars (2 mm × 4 mm × 10 mm) (N = 18) of feldpathic ceramic (VM7, VITA Zahnfabrik) were manufactured and finished. Before silane application, the specimens were ultrasonically cleaned in distilled water for 10 min. The ceramic specimens were randomly divided into nine group...
