Aim: This study was twofold: (i) it aimed to investigate the morphometric changes of three temperature-sensitive nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments at different temperatures, and (ii) to conduct an in vivo real-time analysis of intracanal temperature changes.
Methods: Changes in the shape and length of XP-Endo Shaper, XP-Endo Finisher, and XP-Endo Finisher-R were evaluated in real time whilst heated in a temperature-controlled water bath from 22 to 45°C. Instruments were fixed to a laminated water-resistant 1 mm graph paper attached to a stone block.

High-performance elastomers have gained significant interest because of their wide applications in industry and our daily life. However, it remains a great challenge to fabricate elastomers simultaneously integrating ultra-high mechanical strength, toughness, and excellent healing and recycling capacities. In this study, ultra-strong, healable, and recyclable elastomers are fabricated by dynamically cross-linking copolymers composed of rigid polyimide (PI) segments and soft poly(urea-urethane) (PUU) segments with hydrogen bonds.

In this study, sodium methylsilicate and lime were selected to prepare the same proportion of Imitation Site Soil, and according to the principle of carbonation reaction of restoration materials, the effect of carbonation reaction on the performance of restoration soil of earthen sites was studied. The study has good significance for the conservation and restoration of earthen sites. The samples were cured with CO concentration and curing age as variables.

Rationally regulating the reactivity of molecules or functional groups is common in organic chemistry, both in laboratory and industry synthesis. This concept can be applied to inorganic nanomaterials, particularly two-dimensional black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets. The high reactivity of few-layer (even monolayer) BP is expected to be "shut down" when not required and to be resumed upon application.
