Purpose: To evaluate the influence of surface treatment on the shear bond strength between a Co-Cr alloy and two ceramics.

Materials And Methods: Forty-eight metal cylinders were made (thickness: 4 mm, height: 3.7 mm) according ISO TR 11405. The 48 metallic cylinders were divided into four groups (n = 12), according to the veneering ceramic (StarLight Ceram and Duceram Kiss) and surface treatments: air-particle abrasion with Al(2)O(3) or tungsten drill (W). Gr1: StarLight + Al(2)O(3); Gr2: StarLight + W; Gr3: Duceram + Al(2)O(3); and Gr4: Duceram + W. The specimens were aged using thermal cycling (3000x, 5 to 55 degrees C, dwell time: 30 seconds, transfer time: 2 seconds). The shear test was performed with a universal testing machine, using a load cell of 100 kg (speed: 0.5 mm/min) and a specific device. The bond strength data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's test (5%), and the failure modes were analyzed using an optical microscope (30x).

Results: The means and standard deviations of the shear bond strengths were (MPa): G1 (57.97 +/- 11.34); G2 (40.62 +/- 12.96); G3 (47.09 +/- 13.19); and G4 (36.80 +/- 8.86). Ceramic (p= 0.03252) and surface treatment (p= 0.0002) significantly affected the mean bond strength values.

Conclusions: Air-particle abrasion with Al(2)O(3) improved the shear bond strength between metal and ceramics used.

Dative bonds are typically polar, weaker, and longer than electron-sharing covalent bonds. The intriguing diatomic BeF anion uniquely exhibits triple Be-F dative bonding with a considerable bond dissociation energy (BDE) of 88 kcal/mol. Here, we report exceptionally strong dative-bonded systems, [CO]BeF and [CO]BeF, with BDE values exceeding 155 kcal/mol by integrating [CO] and [CO] groups into the BeF framework.

Mechanical bonds arise between molecules that contain interlocked subunits, such as one macrocycle threaded through another. Within polymers, these linkages will confer distinctive mechanical properties and other emergent behaviors, but polymerizations that form mechanical bonds efficiently and use simple monomeric building blocks are rare. In this work, we introduce a solid-state polymerization in which one monomer infiltrates crystals of another to form a macrocycle and mechanical bond at each repeat unit of a two-dimensional (2D) polymer.

Watson-Crick and Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds aid the formation of highly ordered structures in genomic DNA that dynamically govern genetic modes such as gene regulation and replication. Hence, measuring and distinguishing these two types of hydrogen bonds in different DNA contexts are essential for understanding DNA architectures. However, due to their transient nature and minimal structure differences at the sub-nanometer scale, differentiating Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds from Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds is difficult.
