Objectives: This study aimed to develop and evaluate resin-based antibacterial materials incorporating carvone for restorative dentistry. The objectives included assessing antimicrobial activity, conversion degree, mechanical properties, hydrolytic and hygroscopic behavior, cytotoxicity, among others.

Methodology: Carvone was incorporated into resin-based materials following established protocols.

This work reports the synthesis of a monomer 2-((2-(3-(prop-1-en-2-yl)phenyl)propan-2-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)ethyl methacrylate (MVTPM) and the evaluation of its performance as an additive in the formulation of Bis-GMA/TEGDMA based composite resins. Experimental composite resins formulated with the MVTPM monomer were compared with a control reference. Double bond conversion, polymerization kinetics, shrinkage and associated stress, sorption, and aqueous solubility, cell viability, as well as mechanical properties were evaluated according to international measurements standards.

In the present work, gold based catalysts were synthesized and immobilized on the surface of cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) microreactors. The microreactors were subsequently applied in a homemade microfluidic system for synthesizing benzaldehyde by oxidation of benzyl alcohol in water medium. The Au nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized on the inner surface of the microchannel showed a very high selectivity (94%) for benzaldehyde, while zeolite NPs exhibited only an adsorption feature to this reaction.
