Characterization of the adhesive penetration behavior in wood is highly desired for optimizing the manufacturing processes and product properties. In this study, modified urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesive was used to prepare glued laminated timber (Cryptomeria fortunei Hooibrenk). The depth of gross penetration was measured by fluorescence microscopy (FM), which showed the UF passed through 1.5 t...

multiple adhesive coating is a controversial topic, especially in primary dentition that should be clarified. we evaluated the effect of multiple consecutive adhesive resin coatings on the microshear bond strength (μsbs) of composite resin to primary tooth dentin utilizing a filled (adper single bond plus) and an unfilled (adper single bond) adhesive resin.thirty extracted primary canines were ...

Background and aims. Nano-ionomer (NI) interacts with tooth structures superficially, and there is a concern about the enamel bonding ability of mild self-etch Ketac primer. This study compared the effect of different adhesive procedures (self-etching and etch-and-rinse approach) on long-term marginal microleakage of nano-filled resin-modified glass-ionomer (NI) cervical restorations. Materials...

background prostate traction is one way to control post-prostatectomy bleeding. the most popular method involves traction with a catheter fixed to the thigh with adhesive bands. however, this method has its own drawbacks. objectives we aimed to simplify this traction procedure and to overcome its disadvantages. patients and methods from 2007 - 2015, a new method was used to control post-prostat...

Advances in nanotechnology lead to an increasing interest in how nanoparticles interact with biomembranes. Nanoparticles are wrapped spontaneously by biomembranes if the adhesive interactions between the particles and membranes compensate for the cost of membrane bending. In the last years, the cooperative wrapping of spherical nanoparticles in membrane tubules has been observed in experiments ...
