Objective: To evaluate the morphologies of D.T. Light-Post (LP), JFP-II quartz (JQ), and JFP-II glass (JG) fiber posts and their microtensile bond strengths to light- or dual-cured resin core materials.
Method And Materials: The resin core materials that were used for the core buildup included three dual-cure core materials (Clearfil DC, Rebilda DC, and Luxacore Z) and a light-cured core material (Z100). The microtensile bond strength of each group was tested, and the morphology of each post and fractured surface was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey or Dunnett T3 tests were used for statistical analyses.
Results: LP exhibited wider fibers and less matrix than the JFP-II posts, and JQ exhibited a similar surface texture to JG. The bond strength of the JQ group was significantly less than that of the other groups, but for each of the resin core materials that were used in this study, there were no statistical differences between JQ and JG. The results also showed that the microtensile bond strengths of the Luxacore Z/LP and Z100/JG groups were significantly higher than those of the other groups. Cohesive failure was the exclusive mode of failure in the Z100 group, and the other fractured surfaces exhibited adhesive failure.
Conclusion: The bonding between fiber posts and resin core materials is affected by the fiber type, but the type of dual-cure resin has no effect on the post and core bonds for any of the three posts used in this study.

Ensuring long-term wellbore integrity is critical for carbon dioxide geological storage. Ordinary Portland cement (PC) is usually used for wellbore primary cementing and plug operation, and set cement is easily corroded by acidic fluids, such as carbon dioxide, in underground high-temperature and high-pressure (HTHP) environments, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties and an increase in permeability. In order to achieve long-term wellbore integrity in a CO-rich environment This study introduces materials such as thermosetting vinyl ester resin (TSR), filler composite resin (FCR), and low-cost resin cement (RC).

Braided composites are gaining attention in the most industrial applications. To design rods with optimal tensile properties against combined loads, experimental studies were conducted to investigate the effect of using axial yarn and core in different categories on the tensile properties of braided reinforced composite rods. In this study, six types of braided composite rods with different arrangements of braid components (axial yarn or core type) were produced using glass and polyester fibers with epoxy resin as the matrix.

This study evaluated the effect of substrate core materials and occlusal contact patterns on the fatigue mechanical behavior and stress distribution of single-unit ceramic crowns. One hundred and twenty monolithic crowns were fabricated from zirconia (YZ - IPS e.max ZirCAD, Ivoclar), lithium disilicate (LD - IPS e.

Ribosomes, discovered in 1955 by George Palade, were initially described as small cytoplasmic particles preferentially associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Over the years, extensive research has focused on both the structure and function of ribosomes. However, a fundamental question - how many ribosomes are present within whole cells - has remained largely unaddressed.
