Pract Proced Aesthet Dent 2008;20(6):359-364 359 Digital photography has become essential in modern dentistry. In addition to providing enhanced communication between collaborating dentists, high-quality imagery can also be a valuable diagnostic tool in direct composite procedures. There are many composite systems currently available with various opacities, shades, tints, and physical propertie...

A porous-dense dual-layer composite membrane reactor was proposed. The dual-layer composite membrane composed of dense 0.5 wt % Nb2O5-doped SrCo0.8Fe0.2O3-d (SCFNb) layer and porous Ba0.3Sr0.7Fe0.9Mo0.1O3-d (BSFM) layer was prepared. The stability of SCFNb membrane reactor was improved significantly by the porous-dense dual-layer design philosophy. The porous BSFM surface-coating layer can effe...

in this research, polyvinylchloride based composite heterogeneous cation exchange membranes were prepared by the solution casting technique. chitosan-co-iron nickel oxide nanoparticles were utilized as membrane surface modifier to improve the membranes electrochemical properties. the effect of additive nanoparticle concentration in the modifier solution on the properties of composite membranes ...

In this study, the effect of cladded tungsten carbide layer upon HSS - M2 tool steel on microstructure, hardness, and wear behavior has been studied in two cases without using the middle layer and using the middle layer of nickel. Tungsten Carbide cladded on HSS - M2 tool steel by Arc Weld ( SMAW ). The ASTM-G65 wear test was used to determine its application for use in the mineral indus...

this research deals with axial and oblique impact crash tests on simple and hybrid composite tubes. axial and oblique impact tests have been generated on simple and hybrid composite tubes with one, two and three layers. a drop test rig was used to conduct the experiments. furthermore, in order to gain more detailed knowledge about the crash process, finite element simulations of the experiments...

Chitosan (CS) and alginate (Alg) are complementary in their membrane performance, but the combination of them is normally difcult to use due to their different solubilities. Layer-by-Layer deposition appears to be an effective method for improving the separation efciency of a composite membrane. In this work, the polyelectrolyte multilayer composite membranes (PEMCMs) wer...

giant unilamellar vesicles (guvs) consisting in self-closed lipid bilayers of 0.5-100 µm diameter are considered as oversimplified models of cells because of their biological membrane and micrometric size while large unilamellar vesicles (luvs) of 100-500 nm diameter have applications in drug delivery. to improve structural and mechanical properties of these vesicles, we have developed two cate...

In the present work, TiO2 nanoparticle and multi-walled carbon nanotubes composite powder is prepared hydrothermally. After doctor blading the paste from composite powder, the resulted composite film is sensitized with Cu-based metal-organic frameworks using a layer-by-layer deposition technique and the film is characterized using FE-SEM, EDX, XRD, UV/Visible spectrophotometry and photoluminesc...
