This paper describes the preparation of a Layered Silicate Sorbent (LSS) for CO2 capture using the layered silicate magadiite and organo-magadiite modified with polyethylenimine (PEI). The sorbents were characterized and revealed the presence of PEI as well as its interaction with CO2 at low temperatures. The thermal stability of sorbents was confirmed by thermogravimetry experiments, and the adsorption capacity was evaluated by CO2-TPD experiments. Two kinds of PEI are present in the sorbent, one exposed PEI layer that is responsible for higher CO2 adsorption because its sites are external and another one, bulky PEI, capable of low CO2 adsorption due to the internal position of sites. The contribution of the exposed PEI layer may be increased by a previous exchange of CTA(+), but the presence of the surfactant decreased the total adsorption capacity. MAG-PEI25 reached a maximum adsorption capacity of 6.11 mmol g(-1) at 75 °C for 3 h of adsorption and showed a kinetic desorption of around 15 min at 150 °C.

Coal fly ash, a waste byproduct of coal-fired power plants rich in silica, is produced in vast quantities, exceeding 750 million tons annually. This abundance underscores the importance of finding sustainable and value-added applications for its reuse. Silver nanoparticle-silica composites represent a class of inorganically hybrid antimicrobial agents as the protection layer of cotton fabrics.

Purpose: To assess the impact of staining and multiple firings on the mechanical, optical, and surface characteristics of zirconia-containing lithium silicate ceramics (ZLS).
Materials And Methods: Ninety ZLS discs (Suprinity, VITA Zahnfabrick) were divided according to the "Number of firings" protocol: Ctr-control, no characterization; SC-single firing cycle (for characterization, crystallization and staining simultaneously); and DC-double firing cycle (crystallization firing cycle was performed separately from the staining firing). Extrinsic pigmentation was performed to replicate the characterization of a monolithic restoration.

Distortions in the porphyrin core from planarity can trigger a unique structure-property relationship, imparting its basicity, chemical stability, redox potential, and excited-state energetics, among other properties. The colour change promoted by such distortion is signed by red shifts in its electronic absorption spectra. The adsorption of guest -substituted free-base porphyrin species onto inorganic hosts, such as clay minerals (layered aluminium or magnesium silicates), is known to further promote colour changes.

Background: This study aimed to assess the histological and radiographic effects of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as a direct pulp capping (DPC) agent in immature permanent dog premolars.
Methods: A split-mouth design was employed with three healthy 4-month-old Mongrel dogs, each having 36 premolars. The premolars were randomly assigned to either SHMP or MTA.
