Dentists and technicians have used dental ceramics associated with different types of alloys without taking into account the characteristics of compatibility of these materials. Knowing the properties of the alloy and ceramic used in metal/ceramic restorations is a key factor for treatment success. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of a palladium-silver alloy (Pors-on 4) to 3 ceramics (Ceramco, Noritake and Vita VMK-68) using shear forces at the metal-ceramic interface. A stainless steel cylindrical matrix was used for preparation of the metal dies, application of ceramic and shear strength testing. Thirty palladium-silver alloy cylinders received two layers of opaque and two layers of body porcelain, and shear tests were performed in a universal testing machine at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min. Shear bond strength means (in MPa) were: 28.21(Ceramco), 28.96 (Noritake) and 24.11 (Vita VMK-68). One-way ANOVA did not show statistically significant differences (p>0.05) among the materials. The results of this study indicate that the three evaluated ceramic systems are suitable to be used in combination with the tested palladium-silver alloy.

Palladium films hold signicance due to their remarkable affinity for hydrogen diffusion, rendering them valauble for the seperation and purification of hydrogen in membrane reactors. However, palladium is expensive, and its films can become brittle after only a few cycles of hydrogen separation. Alloying with silver has been shown to overcome the problem of palladium embrittlement.

Background/purpose: Palladium-silver (Pd-Ag) alloys are important as an alternative to gold-based alloys. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an argon-arc vacuum pressure casting process on the recasting of the Pd-Ag alloy.

Materials And Methods: The recasting Pd-Ag alloys were compared with conventional horizontal centrifugal (HC) casting to an argon (Ar)-arc vacuum pressure (Ar-arc/VP) casting.

Palladium-silver-based alloy catalysts have a great potential for CO-free hydrogen production from formic acid for fuel cell applications. However, the structural factors affecting the selectivity of formic acid decomposition are still debated. Herein, the decomposition pathways of formic acid on Pd-Ag alloys with different atomic configurations have been investigated to identify the alloy structures yielding high H selectively.

Atomically precise thiolate-protected coinage metal nanoclusters and their alloys are far more numerous than their selenium congeners, the synthesis of which remains extremely challenging. Herein, we report the synthesis of a series of atomically defined dithiophosph(in)ate protected eight-electron superatomic palladium silver nanoalloys [PdAg{SPR}], 2a-c (where R = OPr, a; OBu, b; Ph, c) via ligand exchange and/or co-reduction methods. The ligand exchange reaction on [PdAg{SP(OPr)}], 1, with [NH{SePR}] (where R = OPr, or OPr) leads to the formation of [PdAg{SeP(OPr)}] (3) and [PdAg{SeP(OPr)}] (4), respectively.

Assistant Professor, Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Electronic address:

Statement Of Problem: The ceramic 5-mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (5Y-ZP) has been developed for dental use in the esthetic zone with greater translucency than 3-mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (3Y-ZP). However, studies on the wear behavior of 5Y-ZP zirconia against clinically relevant antagonist materials are lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the wear behavior of 5Y-ZP zirconia against the antagonists 5Y-ZP zirconia, lithium disilicate, palladium alloy, and human enamel.
