Long-Term Storage of TiCT Aqueous Dispersion with Stable Electrochemical Properties.

MXenes possess high metallic conductivity and excellent dispersion quality and pseudocapcitance. Their good hydrophilicity makes them particularly suitable as eco-friendly inks for printing applications. However, MXenes are prone to oxidization in aqueous dispersions, and it is very important to improve their stability.

Effect of tribological factors on wet adhesion of a microstructured surface to peritoneal tissue.

Bio-inspired microstructured surfaces have been developed that attach effectively to a wet surface. However, little is known about the associated tribological and adhesion properties involved. In this paper, the adhesion of a microstructured surface to peritoneal tissue is investigated as a function of preload, speeds of approach and angle of tilt to the horizontal.

An evaluation of the effect of non-setting calcium hydroxide on human dentine: a pilot study.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of non-setting calcium hydroxide (NSCH) on the hardness and elastic modulus of dentine from extracted permanent premolar human teeth.

Methods: 30 freshly extracted single rooted human premolar teeth were decoronated and the roots then sectioned longitudinally into equal halves. In the experimental group a thin layer of NSCH was applied whilst the control group had no medicament.
