Int J Clin Pediatr Dent
January 2023
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the anxiety levels in children while using rubber dam and OptraDam isolation techniques.
Materials And Methods: This study was a crossover trial conducted on 27 selected 6-12-year-old children. The procedure of placement of either of the isolation techniques was told and demonstrated using audiovisual aid.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how polyfunctional organic molecules can shape metallic nanostructures, acting as ligands for surface passivation and controlling electronic and optical properties.
- Specific molecules like 4-aminothiophenol and Bismarck brown R are highlighted for their roles in forming various nanoparticle shapes, including rod-shaped micelles and triangular hexagonal gold nanoplates.
- The research emphasizes the significance of these molecules in nanoparticle synthesis, with findings on their optical and electrochemical properties in relation to particle shape.
This paper reports a novel electrochemical route for anchoring monolayer protected gold nanoclusters (size 8 +/- 0.2 nm) on single-walled carbon nanotube bundles, resulting in the formation of hybrid materials. Monolayer protected gold nanoclusters prepared by modified Brust synthesis route were organized on SWNT bundles by cycling the potential in dichloromethane between -1 to +1 V at a scan rate of 50 mV/s.
