Aim: The objective of this study was to compare the film thickness of a light body polyvinylsiloxane addition silicone impression material using the "replica technique" (RT) to the film thickness resulting from the cementation of Procera copings.
Methods And Materials: Twenty Procera copings were fabricated on ten casts each having one central incisor and one premolar. The thickness of the light body was first measured using the RT; then on the same casts dies were cemented with glass-ionomer cement, sawed, and the film thickness of cement was measured. These two materials were expected to behave differently under stress according to their respective physical properties.
Results: The thickness of silicone material did not differ significantly from that of the glass-ionomer cement used in this experiment. Also, when the two groups of central incisors and premolars were taken separately, at three different areas (occlusal, axial, and cervical), no significant difference was found. Only when each surface (buccal, palatal, mesial, and distal) was compared separately at the cervical area, some significant differences between the two techniques was detected.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the RT is an accurate and reliable technique that can simulate crown gap space after cementation.
Clinical Significance: The RT is reliable for evaluating cement thickness at the marginal and internal gaps of Procera AllCeram crowns during try-in sessions.

Background/aims: This study investigates how pH levels affect the characteristics of biopolymer films manufactured from cassava peel starch. Cassava peel starch's abundance and biodegradability make it a promising candidate for sustainable packaging. The study seeks to improve film qualities such as thickness, density, moisture content, solubility, and optical properties by altering pH levels.

Purpose: To assess the repeatability of lipid layer thickness (LLT) measurement using the LipiView® interferometer after daily disposable contact lens (CL) wear and correlation with ocular comfort in soft contact lens wearers.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted over two consecutive months, wherein CL wearers (n = 20) wore either Somofilcon A or Verofilcon A daily disposable CLs in a crossover design, switching lenses after 1 month. The pre-corneal tear film LLT was measured at the end of each month after CLs had been worn for at least 6 h.

The film water, with an exceptional capacity to maintain a premelting, liquid-like state even under subzero conditions, provides a potential dynamic conduit for the movement of water in frozen soils. However, the distinctive structural and dynamic characteristics of film water have not been comprehensively elucidated. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to examine the freezing of a system containing ice, water, silica, and gas.

PbZrO (PZO) thin films, as a classic antiferroelectric material, have attracted tremendous attention for their excellent dielectric, electromechanical, and thermal switching performances. However, several fundamental questions remain unresolved, particularly the existence of an intermediate phase during the transition from the antiferroelectric (AFE) to ferroelectric (FE) state. Here, a phase coexistence configuration of an orthorhombic AFE phase and a tetragonal-like (T-like) phase is reported in epitaxial antiferroelectric PZO thin films, with thickness ranging from 16 to 110 nm.

Since the explosive growth of state-of-the-art electronics and devices raises concerns about electromagnetic pollution, exploring novel and efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials is desirable and crucial. TiCT MXenes hold significant EMI shielding potential due to their inherent characteristics, including lightweight, metal-like conductivities, unique layered structure, and facile processing. Nonetheless, it remains challenging to fabricate TiCT MXenes-based EMI shielding materials with efficient shielding capability and low reflection.
