A novel kind of polysiloxane resin functionalized with dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DCH18C6) was synthesized through a post-modification approach. The DCH18C6 moieties bearing amino groups were firstly prepared, followed by covalent grafting to a silica precursor P-(CH(2))(3)-Cl (Where P represents a 3-dimentional polymerized silica matrix) based on nucleophilic substitution reaction. (29)Si and (13)C solid-state NMR, FT-IR, XPS, TGA, ESEM and elemental analysis were employed to systematically characterize the structure, thermal property and surface morphology of the functionalized resin. The results indicated that the DCH18C6 ligands were successfully bonded to the polysiloxane resin with a satisfactory grafting degree (33.6wt.%). Due to the robust organosilica framework and the covalent immobilization of the ligands, the functionalized resin had excellent thermal stability and acid resistance. Batch experiments showed that the resin could effectively separate Sr(II) in high acidity mediums. The distribution coefficient (K(d)) of 43.6cm(3)/g could be achieved in 5.0mol/L HNO(3) solution. The influences of contact time and acidity of HNO(3) on the resin's extraction performance were examined. The reusability and the selectivity to Sr(II) over interference ions were investigated. The DCH18C6-functionalized resin might be potentially applied for the radiostrontium removal in the high level liquid waste (HLLW).

Background: The success of a restoration largely depends on the quality of its fit. This study aimed to investigate the fit quality of monolithic zirconia veneers (MZVs) produced through traditional and digital workflows.
Methods: A typodont maxillary right central incisor was prepared.

Microphysiological systems (MPS) containing perfusable vascular beds unlock the ability to model tissue-scale elements of vascular physiology and disease in vitro. Access to inexpensive stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers now enables benchtop fabrication of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) organ chips, eliminating the need for cleanroom access and microfabrication expertise, and can facilitate broader adoption of MPS approaches in preclinical research. Rapid prototyping of organ chip mold designs accelerates the processes of design, testing, and iteration, but geometric distortion and surface roughness of SLA resin prints can impede the development of standardizable manufacturing workflows.

Objective: This double-blind, split-mouth, randomized equivalence clinical trial aimed to evaluate the 18-month clinical performance of an ormocer-based single-shade resin composite compared with an ormocer-based multi-shade resin composite in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs).
Methods: One hundred and twenty restorations were performed on NCCLs with two restorative materials (n = 60): Admira Fusion X-tra resin composite (ormocer-based single-shade), and Admira Fusion resin composite (ormocer-based multi-shade). After rubber dam isolation, a universal adhesive was applied in the selective enamel etching strategy.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of dental stone molds and three dimensional (3D)-printed molds on the color difference, translucency, surface roughness, and hardness of maxillofacial silicones.
Methods: To prepare molds, a rectangular body 20 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness, was designed with computer-aided design software. Two different dental gypsum molds were prepared with the lost-wax technique.

Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of direct restorations using transparent vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) indices with different thicknesses for composite resin injection technique.
Methods: Thirty-six standard resin teeth of tooth #11 were divided into 3 groups based on the index thickness including 2, 4, and 6 mm (n = 12). VPS indices were fabricated using customized trays corresponding to each thickness.
