Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of various surface treatments on the bond strength of several glass ionomers to enamel, and to examine the resulting bond interface.
Methods: Ground bovine enamel specimens were divided into groups which were pretreated with one of the following: (1) no pretreatment, (2) Vitremer primer, (3) 10% polyacrylic acid or (4) 35% phosphoric acid. A conventional glass ionomer and two resin-modified glass ionomers (RMGI's) were bonded to the pretreated enamel surfaces, stored in water for 24h and shear bond strengths measured. RMGI's were tested as light-cured and self-cured materials. Transverse sections of similarly prepared samples were etched with phosphoric acid for 60s to partially remove enamel and expose the enamel/glass-ionomer interface. The interface morphology was examined by SEM.
Results: Polyacrylic acid and phosphoric acid conditioning resulted in significantly increased bond strength to enamel for all three glass ionomer materials, compared to no pretreatment (p<0.01). Light-cured bond strengths were in most cases, significantly greater than when self-cured (p<0.01). Examination of the bonded interfaces revealed the presence of polymer tags in the enamel conditioned with polyacrylic acid and phosphoric acid.
Significance: Conditioners significantly improved the bond to enamel for the conventional glass ionomer and RMGI's that were examined in this study. Micromechanical bonding may play a role in the mechanism of bonding glass ionomer to enamel.

The strategy of designing efficient room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emitters based on hydrogen bond interactions has attracted great attention in recent years. However, the regulation mechanism of the hydrogen bond on the RTP property remains unclear, and corresponding theoretical investigations are highly desired. Herein, the structure-property relationship and the internal mechanism of the hydrogen bond effect in regulating the RTP property are studied through the combination of quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics methods (QM/MM) coupled with the thermal vibration correlation function method.

This in vitro study aims to evaluate various surface treatments on the shear bond strength and failure mode of CAD/CAM PMMA teeth to the heat-polymerized acrylic denture base. The study sample consisted of 100 teeth that were divided equally into five groups: Group 1: denture artificial teeth (control), Group 2: PMMA teeth without surface treatment, Group 3: PMMA teeth with MMA etching, Group 4: PMMA teeth with sandblasting (aluminum oxide particles), and Group 5: PMMA teeth with perpendicular grooves. The shear bond strength test was performed using a universal testing machine and the failure mode was recorded.

Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are widely applied in transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of functional groups of PSAs on drug release and transdermal permeation properties remain insufficiently clear. In this study, we investigated the effect of acrylic PSAs' functional groups on the in vitro release and transdermal permeation properties of a model drug guanfacine (GFC).

Purpose: This study investigated the bond strength between short fiber-reinforced resin composite (SFC) and dentin following air abrasion with various types of abrasive particles.
Methods: A total of 120 human molars were prepared for a shear bond strength (SBS) test of the resin composite. The teeth were divided into 12 groups (n = 10/group) based on the air abrasion particle used.
