The aims of this study were to test whether the shear bond strengths (SBS) of three commercially available colour change adhesives (CCAs), Transbond Plus Color Change Adhesive, Grēngloo, and Blūgloo, are different and to compare their bond strengths with a traditional light cure adhesive, Light Bond. Forty-eight human permanent premolar teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons and without any caries or visible defects were used in this study. The brackets were bonded with Light Bond (group I), Grēngloo (group II), Blūgloo (group III), and Transbond Plus CCA (group IV). After bonding, the SBS of the brackets were tested with a Universal testing machine. Analysis of variance indicated a significant difference between groups I and IV (P < 0.001). No significant difference was found between groups II, III, and IV (P > 0.05). Adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores for all groups were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Significant difference existed between the SBS of Transbond Plus CCA and Light Bond. Although Transbond Plus CCA yielded the lowest SBS values, no statistically significant difference was found between bond strength values of the three commercially available CCAs. All three CCAs can be safely used in orthodontic practice since they yielded acceptable bond strengths. A higher incidence of ARI scores 4 and 5 revealed that bond failures in all test groups were mainly at the adhesive interface.

This in vitro study aims to evaluate various surface treatments on the shear bond strength and failure mode of CAD/CAM PMMA teeth to the heat-polymerized acrylic denture base. The study sample consisted of 100 teeth that were divided equally into five groups: Group 1: denture artificial teeth (control), Group 2: PMMA teeth without surface treatment, Group 3: PMMA teeth with MMA etching, Group 4: PMMA teeth with sandblasting (aluminum oxide particles), and Group 5: PMMA teeth with perpendicular grooves. The shear bond strength test was performed using a universal testing machine and the failure mode was recorded.

Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are widely applied in transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of functional groups of PSAs on drug release and transdermal permeation properties remain insufficiently clear. In this study, we investigated the effect of acrylic PSAs' functional groups on the in vitro release and transdermal permeation properties of a model drug guanfacine (GFC).

Purpose: This study investigated the bond strength between short fiber-reinforced resin composite (SFC) and dentin following air abrasion with various types of abrasive particles.
Methods: A total of 120 human molars were prepared for a shear bond strength (SBS) test of the resin composite. The teeth were divided into 12 groups (n = 10/group) based on the air abrasion particle used.

Solid polymer batteries (SPEs) are highly desirable for energy storage because of the urgent need for higher energy density and safer lithium ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, the single-ion lithium salt PAEK-LiCPSI was synthesized by grafting 3-chloropropanesulfonyl trifluoromethanesulimide lithium (LiCPSI) onto poly(aryl ether ketone) (PAEK). Nanocellulose (NCC), PAEK-LiCPSI, and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF-HFP) were compounded to obtain NCC reinforced high-performance nanofiber composite polymer electrolytes (NCC/PAEK/PVDF) through electrospinning, which presented tensile strength of 15.

Context: This article mainly studies three isomers of CHNO, namely 5-methyl-3,4-dinitro-1- (trinitromethyl) -1H pyrazole (1), 4-methyl-3,5-dinitro-1- (trinitromethyl) -1H pyrazole (2), and 3,5-bis (dinitromethyl) -4-nitro-1H-pyrazole (3). These three substances are excellent candidates for energetic materials, but their properties under external electric fields (EEF) have not been studied. Therefore, this article studied the properties of three isomers under EEF using density functional theory (DFT), and conducted statistical analysis on the obtained data, including the molecular structure, frontier molecular orbitals, surface electrostatic potential, and nitrate charge of the three isomers.
