Objectives: Zinc-doped dentine adhesives have been recently advocated to interfere with metallo-proteinases-mediated collagen degradation. Nevertheless, there is a little information about the effects of zinc ions on the chemical interaction of self-etch functional monomers to dentine. The aim of this study was to assess if the inclusion of zinc into the primers of self-etch adhesives containing MDP (10-methacryloyloxi-decyl-dihydrogen-phosphate) may interfere with their chemical interaction to calcium/dentine.
Methods: Caries-free human molars were bonded using two commercial self-etching adhesives [Clearfil SE bond (CSE) and S3 bond (S3)] doped with zinc nitrate and submitted to microtensile bond strength (μTBS) and interface nanoleakage evaluation. Moreover, MDP was synthesised to evaluate the chemical interaction with calcium/dentine through atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and SEM-EDX in the presence or absence of zinc ions.
Results: AAS showed increasing formation of MDP-zinc rather than MDP-calcium salts (p=0.002) in the presence of zinc. SEM-EDX confirmed the formation of zinc-rich phosphate deposits that were probably responsible for the significant reduction in μTBS and increased interfacial nanoleakage attained with zinc-doped CSE and S3.
Conclusion: These outcomes demonstrated that the excessive presence of zinc ions may jeopardise the bonding performance of MDP-containing self-etch adhesives.

Silver nanowire (Ag NW)-based elastic conductors have been considered a promising candidate for key stretchable electrodes in wearable devices. However, the weak interface interaction of Ag NWs and elastic substrates leads to poor durability of electronic devices. For everyday usage, an additional self-healing ability is required to resist scratching and damage.

A novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based artificial light-harvesting system (LHS) is successfully assembled via the host-guest interaction of bis-naphthylacrylonitrile derivative (BND), water-soluble pillar[5]arene (WP5), and sulforhodamine 101 (SR101). After host-guest assembly, the formed WP5⊃BND complexes spontaneously self-aggregated into WP5⊃BND nanoparticles (donors) and SR101 (acceptors) is introduced into WP5⊃BND to fabricate WP5⊃BND-SR101 LHS. Through the investigation of energy transfer between donors and acceptors, the artificial light-harvesting processes are certified in WP5⊃BND-SR101 LHS and the absolute fluorescence quantum yields (Φ) are significantly improved from 8.

The two-dimensional interlayer space of layered materials has been highlighted due to their adsorption property, whose nanostructure in the water-immersed state is scarcely understood by experiment. Recent developments in molecular simulation have enabled researchers to investigate the interlayer structure, but water content is necessary for accurate modeling. In the present study, we proposed a theoretical method to estimate the saturated water content and adsorption selectivity of trichlorophenol and phenol in montmorillonite modified with hexadecyltrimethylammonium ions.

The amount of incorporation of linear alcohols and ethers in HSiWO·6HO (HSiW·6HO, 50 wt %) supported on silica (SiO) was estimated by a conventional volumetric method and infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and the state of involved molecules was elucidated. First, the attribution of the key IR band at 2200 cm, which was observed for the water of crystallization of HSiW·6HO, to HO species (protons) was verified by coincident observation of thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and IR spectroscopy during thermal treatment in addition to the isotope exchange with DO. The 2200 cm band was gradually decreased in intensity by increasing the amount of adsorption of pyridine and was totally consumed at saturation, while the volumetric method provided the accurate number of included pyridine molecules.

Lattice thermal conductivity ( ) is of great importance in basic sciences and in energy conversion applications. However, low- crystalline materials have only been obtained from heavy elements, which typically exhibit poor stability and possible toxicity. Thus, low- materials composed of light elements should be explored.
