Purpose: To evaluate the effect of H2O2 on the push-out bond strength between glass fiber posts and the resin cement.
Methods: Eighteen Tenax glass fiber posts and 18 Macthpost glass fiber posts were randomly assigned to 6 groups according to the surface treatments. Group A, no surface treatment (control group); Group B, treated with silane agent; Group C, treated with 3% H2O2, then with silane agent; Group D, treated with10% H2O2, then with silane agent; Group E, treated with20% H2O2, then with silane agent; Group F, treated with 30% H2O2, then with silane agent. The posts were adhered using the resin cement to form cylindrical resin block. Each resin block was sectioned to 7 sections of 1 mm thick. A push-out test was performed on other sections of each post to measure bond strengths. The date was recorded and analyzed with SPSS13.0 software package. The failure modes were examined with stereomicroscope.
Results: The bond strengths of Tenax post from A1 to F1 were (22.35±3.43) MPa, (22.75±1.92) MPa, (27.21±3.60) MPa, (32.32±2.19) MPa, (36.15±2.32) MPa and (40.51±2.37) MPa, respectively. The bond strengths of Macthpost post from A2 to F2 were (17.29±3.23) MPa, (17.01±3.18) MPa, (20.48±2.11) MPa, (23.60±2.60) MPa, (27.65±3.77) MPa and (30.52±2.99) MPa, respectively. No significantly difference (P>0.05) was found between Group A and Group B, except other groups.
Conclusions: Treatment with H2O2 followed with silane agent can significantly improve the bond strength between Tenax and Macthpost glass fiber posts and resin cement. The group treated with 30% H2O2 has the highest bond strength, and the treatment procedure is more useful to improve the adhesion of the glass fiber post.

Wind energy offers a low emission source of energy while also being among the cheapest forms of electricity generation in the United States. While most materials in a wind turbine can be recycled at the end of their life, large composite blades are often treated as waste, leading to potential strains on regional landfills, a loss of durable materials, and forfeiture of embodied energy. Numerous approaches exist for recycling composite wind blades at various levels of technological and commercial maturity.

The decrease in the slope efficiency caused by irradiation decays exponentially with an increase in the X-ray radiation doses, and the radiation-induced gain variation (RIGV) showed a linear decay trend with increasing irradiation doses. The slope efficiency of Yb-doped LMA PCF, which significantly degraded from 71.

Thus, FB-based thermal imaging systems show great potential in some important applications, such as infrared endoscopy, aircraft infrared warning, and satellite remote sensing. In most applications, FBs are required to have high overall transmittance (OT) and high spatial resolution (), but the fabrication of such high-performance FBs is still a challenge.

However, due to the inadequate temperature resistance of the optical dielectric film, maintaining a high level of precision in the rigid F-P cavity at elevated temperatures proves to be challenging. Volume Bragg grating (VBG) is a three-dimensional optical element modified by a femtosecond laser within a transparent glass medium to create a periodic refractive index distribution.

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are subjected to harsh environmental conditions over the course of their designed lifespan. Studying the aging process of fiber-reinforced polymer composites exposed to boiling water is critical for improving their durability. This study uses a hand lay-up technique to fabricate composites from glass fiber, bamboo fiber, nanoclay, and epoxy.
