Purpose: To quantitatively measure the amount of fluoride, hydroxy ion and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) released from various light-cured restorative materials.
Materials And Methods: Three resin-modified glass-ionomer cements (RMGI): Photac-Fil Aplicap, Vitremer, and Fuji II LC and two polyacid-modified resin-based composites (compomer): Dyract and Variglass VLC were used in this study. Disc-shaped specimens were made as per manufacturer's recommendations and the surfaces were polished with a 600 grit abrasive paper. Immediately after setting, each disc was immersed into 10 ml of distilled water at 37 degrees C and the eluates were collected after 8- or 24-hour immersion. The concentration of HEMA in the eluate was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. In addition, the concentration of fluoride ion and pH were measured by the respective ion selective electrode.
Results: The RMGIs released the greater amount of fluoride and smaller amounts of HEMA compared to the compomers at both the 8- and 24-hour eluates. Although there were no significant differences in pH of the 8-hour eluates among the restoratives, the pHs of the RMGI were significantly higher than those of the compomers for the 24-hour eluates.

This study presents the preparation and electrochemical testing of sulfonated styrene-grafted poly(vinylidene fluoride) (pVDF) copolymers as proton exchange membranes (PEMs) for semi-organic redox flow batteries (RFBs) based on 9,10-anthraquinone-2,7-disulfonic acid (AQDS)/bromine. The copolymers are synthesized via a two-step procedure, involving i) atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene (Sty) for the grafting to the pVDF backbone and ii) the sulfonation of the polystyrene grafted side chains. Copolymers with different amounts of sulfonated styrene (SSty) in the side chains (i.

Article Synopsis
- Barium fluoride borosilicate glass samples, reinforced with varying amounts of GdO, were created to study their structural, physical, and optical properties as well as their ability to attenuate γ-rays.
- X-ray diffraction confirmed the glasses were amorphous, and did show slight increases in density and molar volume with more GdO.
- UV-Vis spectra indicated increased absorbance and shifts in optical properties, suggesting that these materials could be useful for opto-electronic devices and radiation shielding.

An organocatalytic method for the SuFEx click reaction of gaseous SOF is described. Different organic bases such as DBU, TBD, triethylamine and Hünig's base can efficiently catalyze the SuFEx of SOF with various phenols to produce aryl fluorosulfates in 61-97% yields. Under the same conditions, pyridone, pyrazolone and amines can also react with SOF to afford the corresponding heteroaryl fluorosulfates or sulfamoyl fluorides in good yields.

The in situ monitoring of dynamic covalent macromolecular boronate esters represents a difficult task. In this report, we present an in situ method using fluoride coordination and B NMR spectroscopy to determine the amount of boronate esters in a mixture of boronic acids and cis-diols. With fluoride coordination, the boronic acid and boronate esters afforded trifluoroborate and fluoroboronate esters, giving identical resonances at 3 and 9 ppm in the B NMR spectra.

Fluoride (F) are common in the environment and are beneficial in moderate amounts but can be harmful at high concentrations, leading to conditions such as fluorosis influenced by reactive oxygen species (ROS), including hypochlorite (ClO). This study introduces PZ-DT, a novel fluorescent probe with a phenothiazine core, designed for the sequential detection of F and ClO. PZ-DT emits orange-red fluorescence with a Stokes shift greater than 200 nm upon F detection, demonstrating excellent selectivity and sensitivity, boasting a quantum yield of 19.
