Objectives: As CAD/CAM technologies improve we question whether adhesive lamination of ceramic materials could offer mechanical advantages over monolithic structures and improve clinical outcomes. The aim was to identify whether an adhesive interface (a chemically cured resin-cement) would influence the biaxial flexure strength (BFS) and slow-crack growth in a machinable dental ceramic.
Methods: Monolithic and adhesively laminated (with a chemically cured dimethacrylate resin-cement) feldspathic ceramic discs of identical dimensions were fabricated. BFS testing was performed on the Group A monolithic specimens (n = 20), on Group B laminated specimens with the adhesive interface positioned below the neutral bending axis (n = 20) and Group C laminated specimens with the adhesive interface positioned above the neutral bending axis (n = 20). To study subcritical crack growth additional laminated specimens received controlled indentations and were exposed to thermo-mechanical fatigue. BFS data was analysed using parametric statistics (α = 0.05). Fractographic analyses were qualitatively assessed.
Results: No significant differences between the mean BFS data of Groups A and B were observed (p = 0.92) but the mean BFS of Group C was slightly reduced (p < 0.01). Lamination reduced the stiffness of the structure and fractographic analysis demonstrated that energy consuming crack deflection occurred. Thermo-mechanical fatigue caused subcritical extension of radial cracks associated with indentations adjacent to the adhesive interface. Crack growth was limited to parallel to the interface and was arrested or deflected in a direction normal to the interface.
Conclusions: Ceramic lamination increased the damage tolerance of the structure and could limit or arrest subcritical crack growth at regions near the 'interlayer'.
Clinical Significance: Lamination of a dental ceramic with a polymeric 'interlayer' could offer toughening effects which could potentially delay or arrest sub-critical crack growth at regions near the interface and thereby improve restoration longevity.

Polarized epithelial cells are compartmentalized into apical and basement membranes with asymmetrically distributed proteins. This study aimed to establish a method for culturing epithelial cells at the fluorinated oil (Novec-7500) microdroplet surface for the formation of epithelial polarity, which is desirable for regenerative medicine and drug discovery research. Microdroplet surfaces treated with fibronectin, which regulates a variety of cell behaviors through direct interactions with cell surface integrin receptors, were prepared for culturing epithelial cells.

Pitting corrosion caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) significantly shortens the lifespan of metallic pipelines. Antibacterial coatings containing S-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers represent a promising method to mitigate SRB corrosion. However, the challenge of balancing rapid bactericide release with continuous antibacterial effect limits their practical application.

Soft ionic conductors are promising candidates for epidermal electrodes, flexible sensors, ionic skins, and other soft iontronic devices. However, their inadequate ionic conductivity and mechanical properties (such as toughness and adhesiveness) are still the main constraints for their wide applications in wearable bioelectronics. Herein, an all-biocompatible composite gel with a double-network (DN) strategy is proposed.

To investigate the water damage at the interface between emulsified asphalt and aggregate under the action of external water infiltration, firstly, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide was used as an emulsifier to prepare emulsified asphalt in the laboratory, and its basic properties were tested. Then, based on molecular dynamics, an emulsified asphalt-aggregate interface model with different water contents was constructed to calculate the adhesion work of the emulsified asphalt-aggregate interface. The results show that the simulated values of emulsified asphalt density, cohesive energy density, and solubility are in good agreement with the experimental values.

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is extensively employed in applications ranging from flexible electronics to microfluidics due to its elasticity, transparency, and biocompatibility. However, enhancing interfacial adhesion and tensile properties remains a challenge for applications demanding high mechanical stability. To this end, this study introduced a novel bonding technique using crosslinkers as adhesive layers to improve the mechanical performance of PDMS.
