the optimization of process conditions for the degradation of acid blue 193 by uv/peroxydisulfate was investigated using response surface methodology (rsm). the effects of four parameters namely initial k2s2o8 concentration, uv irradiation, temperature, and initial dye concentration on two process responses, color removal and the rate constants of the first-order kinetic equations, were investi...

  Context: In recent years, nanotechnology has opened up several new avenues of extraordinary biomedical potential by modulating metals into their nanosize leading to significant improvement in their chemical, physical and optical properties. Introduction: <span style="color...

abstract:any effects of wood coating with different compounds as nano-zinc, nano-chitosan, chitosan, silicon oil and flaxseed oil on surface properties as; wood color change, surface roughness and wettability were studied in the current research work. for this purpose, sample boards of beech wood were cut into sizes of 2×10×20cm. the specimens were coated with the noticed coatings and tested fo...

introduction: discoloration of resin composites is a common reason for replacement of these restorations. the aim of this study was to eva-luate the influence of different light curing de-vices on color stability of a microhybrid resin composite. materials and methods: 80 disc-shaped speci-mens (8 mm in diameter, 2-mm height) were fabricated from filtek z250 resin composite. specimens were divid...
