Commercial glasses under this study showed linear thermoluminescence (TL) response in gamma dose range 100 Gy to 10 kGy, glow peaks between 175 and 200 degrees C, fading under dark and room light 2.86-7.36% and 10.42-20.82%, respectively, in 24h and 34.86-70.80% under sunlight in 5h after exposure. The TL glass dosimetric results have been found to be reproducible within +/- 6.0%. Glasses have been observed as thermally unstable and its TL sensitivity reduces after annealing. The TL response of the glasses has been found to reduce by 7.40-51.49% after first annealing of the samples at 400 degrees C for 15 min. The trace element study suggests that presence of impurities has no role in TL sensitivity of glasses rather imperfections and dislocations in the lattice are the major contributor in the formation of TL centers. Commercial glasses can serve as good TL material for gamma irradiator and gamma chamber dosimetry. The various radiation parameters for glass TL dosimetry have been studied in detail and presented.

Radiative Warming Glass for High-Latitude Cold Regions.
Adv Sci (Weinh)
January 2025
Department of Electronic Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong SAR, 999077, China.
Traditional window glazing, with inherently adverse energy-efficient optical properties, leads to colossal energy losses. Energy-saving glass requires a customized optical design for different climate zones. Compared with the widely researched radiative cooling technology which is preferable to be used in low-altitude hot regions; conversely in high-latitude cold regions, high solar transmittance (T) and low mid-infrared thermal emissivity (ε) are the key characteristics of high-performance radiative warming window glass, while the current low-emissivity (low-e) glass is far from ideal.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the chemical solubility (CS) and conduct a comprehensive physicochemical characterization of several experimental and commercial lithium silicate-based glass-ceramics towards an understanding of the chemical processes governing dissolution in these glass-ceramics.
Methodology: Glass-ceramic (GC) samples were categorized into two groups: experimental materials featuring lithium metasilicate crystals (GCE1 and GCE2); and five commercial brands relying mostly on lithium disilicate (Celtra®Duo, IPS e.max®CAD, Straumann®n!ce®, CEREC Tessera™, and VITA Suprinity®).
Studies on the Virucidal Effects of UV-C of 233 nm and 275 nm Wavelengths.

Among the physical decontamination methods, treatment with ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a suitable means of preventing viral infections. Mercury vapor lamps (254 nm) used for room decontamination are potentially damaging to human skin (radiation) and harmful to the environment (mercury). Therefore, other UV-C wavelengths (100-280 nm) may be effective for virus inactivation on skin without damaging it, e.

In this study, we present novel, vitrimeric and biobased scaffolds that are designed for hard tissue applications, composed of acrylated, epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) and reinforced with bioactive glass that is Tellurium doped (BG-Te) and BG-Te silanized, to tune the mechanical and antibacterial properties. The manufacture's method consisted of a DLP 3D-printing method, enabling precise resolution and the possibility to manufacture a hollow and complex structure. The resin formulation was optimized with a biobased, reactive diluent to adjust the viscosity for an optimal 3D-printing process.

Tan Delta reflects the viscoelastic behavior of materials, particularly polymers. In most cases, a high Tan Delta value is associated with transitions (such as glass transition or melting), enabling effective damping properties near these temperature ranges. However, achieving a high Tan Delta over a broad temperature range is challenging, particularly for engineering applications that involve significant temperature fluctuations.
