Objective: To examine the shear and microtensile bond strength between a newly developed dental machinable composite resin (polymethylmetacrylate/nano SiO2-ZrO2, PNSZ) and dentin cemented using three resin luting systems and to select the most suitable one.
Methods: The shear and microtensile bond strength between the machinable composite resin and dentin cemented using three resin luting systems (Group A:RelyX ARC, Group B:Panavia-F,Group C:Variolink II) were tested. The broken specimens were observed with a stereomicroscope (x 50) to compare their failure modes. RESULTS; In the shear tests, no significant difference was found in bond strength among Group A [ (14. 07 +/- 4. 67) MPa] ,Group B[ (13.17 +/- 4. 63) MPa] and Group C [ ( 12. 10 +/- 2.18) MPa] (P > 0.05) . In the microtensile tests, no significant difference was found in bond strength among Group A [(11.49 +/- 4.90) MPa],Group B[(9.66 +/- 4.15) MPa].and Group C[(10.11 +/- 4.20) MPa](P > 0. 05).The failure modes of all the three resin cements were predominantly adhesive failures at the dentin/cement interface.
Conclusions: The three types of resin cements showed similar results in bond strength between the dental machinable composite resin and dentin. Bonding at the resin/cement interface was stronger than that at the dentin/cement interface.

Self-healing optically transparent polyimides have potential applications in optoelectronic device fabrication. In this study, for the first time, we successfully prepared a novel self-healing polyimide film containing reversible disulfide bonds through chemical imidization by introducing cystamine as a self-healing functional monomer into the molecular structure of conventional polyimides. The incorporation of cystamine enabled the films to maintain high transmittance (>87%) and tensile strength (>99 MPa).

The structural adhesive bonding of aluminum is widely used in the aircraft and automotive industries. The surface preparation of aluminum prior to adhesive bonding plays a significant role in improving the bonding strength. Surface cleanliness, surface roughness, and surface chemistry can be controlled, primarily, by proper surface treatment methods.

In the work presented here, we explore the upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) that was derived from water bottles. The material was granulated and extruded into a filament compatible with fused filament fabrication (FFF) additive manufacturing platforms. Three iterations of PET combined with a thermoplastic elastomer, styrene ethylene butylene styrene with a maleic anhydride graft (SEBS-g-MA), were made with 5, 10, and 20% by mass elastomer content.

(1) Background: Alkasite is a novel restorative material that has attracted interest in recent years because of its distinctive characteristics, including its high translucency and excellent biocompatibility. It is comparable to glass ionomer cement (GIC) and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) due to its fluoride-release ability and usage in esthetically concerned areas. This study aimed to assess the shear bond strength (SBS) of Alkasite restorative material in comparison with GIC and RMGIC (2) Methods: The study sample included 120 extracted sound primary molars and was randomly split into three groups, including group 1: RMGIC; group 2: Alkasite; and group 3: GIC.

The lifecycle of wind turbine blades is around 20-25 years. This makes studies on the reuse of dismantled blades an urgent need for our generation; however, their recycling is very difficult due to the specific makeup of their composite material. In this study, the authors determined a concept for the reuse of turbine blade sections filled with concrete for geotechnical structures, retaining the walls, piles, or parts of their foundations.
