This work was aimed at the study of some physical properties of two current light-cured dental resin composites, Rok (hybrid) and Ice (nanohydrid). As filler they both contain strontium aluminosilicate particles, however, with different size distribution, 40 nm-2.5 mum for Rok and 10 nm-1 mum for Ice. The resin matrix of Rok consists of UDMA, that of Ice of UDMA, Bis-EMA and TEGDMA. Degree of conversion was determined by FT-IR analysis. The flexural strength and modulus were measured using a three-point bending set-up according to the ISO-4049 specification. Sorption, solubility and volumetric change were measured after storage of composites in water or ethanol/water (75 vol%) for 1 day, 7 or 30 days. Thermogravimetric analysis was performed in air and nitrogen atmosphere from 30 to 700 degrees C. Surface roughness and morphology of the composites was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The degree of conversion was found to be 56.9% for Rok and 61.0% for Ice. The flexural strength of Rok does not significantly differ from that of Ice, while the flexural modulus of Rok is higher than that of Ice. The flexural strengths of Rok and Ice did not show any significant change after immersion in water or ethanol solution for 30 days. The flexural modulus of Rok and Ice did not show any significant change either after immersion in water for 30 days, while it decreased significantly, even after 1 day immersion, in ethanol solution. Ice sorbed a higher amount of water and ethanol solution than Rok and showed a higher volume increase. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that Rok contains about 80 wt% inorganic filler and Ice about 75 wt%.

Recent research has shed light on the importance of four-phonon scattering processes in the thermal conductivity () of 2D materials. The inclusion of 4 phonon scattering processes from first-principles has been shown to lead to a thermal conductivity of ∼1290 W m K in graphene at 300 K, significantly lower than the values predicted to be in excess of 4000 W m K based only on 3 phonon scattering processes. Four phonon processes are shown to be most significant for flexural ZA phonon modes, where the reflection symmetry selection rule (RSSR) is less restrictive for 4-phonon than 3-phonon scattering processes.

Article Synopsis
- Mechanical properties of Arctic sea ice can be determined by observing how different types of waves travel through the ice, like compressional and shear waves.
- In past studies during the 1980s, researchers used loud impulses from dropping objects to measure wave speeds, while more recent studies (ICEX20 and ARCEX23) utilized passive recording devices to capture natural wave resonances.
- The studies identified average ice thicknesses of 1.3 meters for ICEX20 and 1.6 meters for ARCEX23, which align with other independent measurements and suggest that remote monitoring of ice thickness is feasible.

Ultrasonic de-icing systems are energy-efficient solutions for ice protection. The systems generate high levels of stress in the ice by inducing vibrations in the substrate, resulting in bulk or adhesive ice failure and, ultimately, ice removal. For this purpose, two types of resonant modes can be excited: flexural and extensional modes.

The performance of engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) under coupled salt freezing and loaded conditions is important for its application on the transportation infrastructure. However, in most of the studies, the specimens were generally loaded prior to the freezing. The influence of sustained load was merely considered.

This study investigates the electrical heating (also known as Joule heating) characteristics of cementitious composites containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) and carbon fibers (CF) as electrically conductive media in an attempt to develop an eco-friendly and sustainable solution to snow and ice removal on roadway pavements during the winter season. Various dosages of CNT and CF between 0 and 1.0% (by weight of cement) were tested to find the optimum mixture proportions that yield high-energy and efficient electrical-heating performance with superior mechanical properties.
