Water-based anticorrosion resins have gone through many stages of evolution. Despite steady progress, there is still need for improvements. Recent innovations in the area of polymer colloids and hybrid materials offer new opportunities to develop novel coatings for metal protection. By choosing the appropriate technology, it is possible to design acrylic binders with improved barrier properties...

OBJECTIVES Assess the main problems referred by the patients and observed by the professionals after the bucodental rehabilitation with an implant-supported hybrid prothesis. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was carried out in which there were 43 patients included who were visited in the Department of Oral Surgery and Orofacial Implantology of University of Barcelona Dental School f...

The low-kinetic energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) behavior of different sodium-cationized polylactide (PLA) oligomers was thoroughly investigated to shed some light on the analytical potentialities of CID experiments in the context of polymer characterization. Indeed, investigation of several end-groups modified PLA reveals that, in addition to the expected end-group specific dissocia...

The fabrication of an implant-supported fixed complete denture prosthesis involves multiple clinical and laboratory steps. One of the main steps is to provide the patient with an interim fixed prosthesis to evaluate the patient's esthetic and functional needs as well as to enhance the patient's psychology before proceeding to the definitive prosthesis. Different techniques for fabricating inter...

We report a hybrid energy cell that can simultaneously or individually harvest wind, solar, and chemical energies to power some electronic devices. By utilizing the wind driven relative rotations between a polytetrafluoroethylene film and an etched Al film attached on two acrylic tubes, the fabricated triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) can deliver an open-circuit voltage of about 90 V, a short-...

Polyimide-graphene nanosheet composite electrodes are rigid and dense and, therefore, exhibit moderate electrochemical properties. The properties of polyimide-graphene were remarkably improved by creating voids in the followed insertion nickel oxide into composites. Nickel particles electrodeposited onto porous graphene/poly(amic acid) composite, containing poly (acrylic resin). hybrid was then...

The rehabilitation of an edentulous patient is getting complicated if the ridge large and excessively defective. This clinical report describes restoration a severely resorbed maxilla 49-year-old male with hybrid denture. intermaxillary vertical occlusal distance was considerably increased due to resorption alveolar tuber maxilla. An acrylic resin based implant retained denture fabricated compe...

BACKGROUND/AIM Acrylic lens size and shape may influence the rate of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and need for Nd:YAG capsulotomy. The aim of this study is to compare the Nd:YAG capsulotomy rate of the three piece acrylic/PMMA AcrySof MA series lens with the one piece acrylic AcrySof SA series lens. METHODS 434 eyes of 329 patients who had cataract extraction and implantation of one ...

Objective: To report opacification of hydrophilic acrylic and silicone foldable intraocular lenses (IOL). Designs: Case series. Participants: Five patients with IOL opacification. Results: We report five eyes of five patients with late opacification of the intraocular lens (IOL). Three patients had hydrophilic acrylic (SC60B-OUV-MDR, Inc), two had silicone IOL (Allergan SI30NB). Two out of the ...

Among other uses, latexes are a successful alternative to solvent-borne binders for coatings. Efforts are made to produce hybrid nanostructured latexes containing an acrylic phase and an alkyd phase. However, after the film-forming process, the surfactant used to stabilize these latexes remains in the film, and its location can have a drastic effect on the application properties. Among the proc...
