Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pretreatment of gel chlorhexidine (CHX) and ethanol (EtOH) on the bond strength and durability of the adhesion of the fiber post relined with resin composite to the root dentin using a total etch adhesive system.
Methods: Forty bovine incisor roots were divided into four groups after phosphoric acid etching: irrigation with physiologic solution (control), 5 minutes with CHX, 1 minute with EtOH, and 5 minutes with chlorhexidine followed by 1 minute with EtOH. Fiber posts relined with resin composite were cemented with either RelyX ARC (3M ESPE, St Paul, MN) and a total etch adhesive system Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (3M ESPE). Each group was randomly divided into two subgroups: 24 hours of storage and 12 months of storage. All roots were sectioned transversely, and the push-out test was performed. Failure modes were observed, and the bond strength means were analyzed by analysis of variance and the Tukey test (α = 0.05).
Results: CHX irrigation resulted in homogeneous bond strength values at 24 hours and 12 months of storage (P < .05). A significant bond strength decrease was noticed after 12 months of storage when irrigations were performed with physiologic solution and EtOH application only or associated with CHX (P < .05).
Conclusions: The use of CHX pretreatment could preserve the bond strength of the fiber post relined with resin composite to root dentin for 12 months. The use of EtOH and CHX followed by EtOH did not preserve the bond strength of the total etch adhesive system Scotchbond Multi-Purpose.

Construction of core-shell structured electrocatalysts with a thin noble metal shell is an effective strategy for lowering the usage of the noble metal and improving electrocatalytic properties because of the structure-induced geometric and electronic effects. Here, the synthesis of a novel core-shell structured nanocatalyst consisting of a thin amorphous Pd shell and a crystalline PdCu core and its significantly improved electrocatalytic properties for both formic acid oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions are shown. The electrocatalyst exhibits 4.

The viability of using fibers as reinforcement material for developing lightweight sustainable non-structural construction materials in compliance with the valorization of local by-products has been investigated in this work. This study aims to investigate the effect of the chemical treatment of fibers on the mechanical and hygric properties of bio-sourced clay-sand- fiber composite. This lightweight specimen has been produced from a mixture of 60% natural clay and 40% sand by mass, as a matrix, and reinforced with different amounts of Juncus fibers.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how moisture affects the bond between fiber asphalt mixtures and aggregate, impacting their cracking resistance.
- Researchers tested three types of fiber (basalt, glass, polyester) at various contents and used specific tests to measure interfacial strength.
- Results indicated that while fibers improve interfacial strength, moisture infiltration significantly weakens it, influencing the overall durability of asphalt pavement.

Polyurea (PUR) has been widely used as a protective coating in recent years. In order to complete the understanding of the relationship between PUR microstructure and its energy absorption capabilities, the mechanical and dynamic performance of PURs containing various macrodiol structural units were compared using material characterization techniques and molecular dynamic simulation. The results showed that the PUR polycarbonate diols formed as energy absorbing materials showed high tensile strength, high toughness, and excellent loss factor distribution based on the comparison of stress-strain tensile curves, glass transition temperatures, phase images, and dynamic storage loss modulus.

Cellulose-based paper is inherently poor in hydrophobicity and mechanical strength, limiting its practical applications in daily life such as packaging materials, water-resistant labels, and disposable tableware. This study aimed to develop an effective and eco-friendly strategy to address these limitations by enhancing the hydrophobicity and mechanical properties of cellulose paper. To achieve this, an internal sizing agent was prepared by combining (3-glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxy (GPS) with natural rosin.
