Purpose: To assess the influence of surface treatment on the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of resin cements to monolithic zirconia materials.
Materials And Methods: Two types of monolithic zirconia (Zenostar T [ZT] and Prettau Anterior [PA]) were evaluated. The specimens were assigned to three groups based on the surface treatment applied: group 1: control, assintered; group 2: sandblasted with 50-μm Al₂O₃; group 3: tribochemically silica sandblasted. Two types of resin cements (Multilink Speed [MS] and Multilink N [MN]) were applied to each group for evaluating the bond strength using the μTBS test. The fractured specimens were observed with a stereomicroscope and SEM. Surface roughness and topography of monolithic zirconia were examined after treatment. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's test. A Weibull analysis was performed on the bond strength data.
Results: The bond strength was significantly affected by the surface treatment and the type of resin cement (p < 0.001), but not by the type of monolithic zirconia (p = 0.387). Surface treatment with tribochemical silica sandblasting revealed significantly higher bond strength (p < 0.05) compared with sandblasting with 50-μm Al₂O₃ and control groups. SEM and surface roughness evaluations revealed that the surface morphology and topography of monolithic zirconia was changed due to surface treatments.
Conclusion: The surface treatment of monolithic zirconia with tribochemical silica sandblasting enhanced the bond strength between zirconia and resin cements. Resins cements containing adhesive phosphate monomer (APM, MS) provided higher bond strength to monolithic zirconia than non-APM (MN).

Emerging photovoltaics for outer space applications are one of the many examples where radiation hard molecular semiconductors are essential. However, due to a lack of general design principles, their resilience against extra-terrestrial high-energy radiation can currently not be predicted. In this work, the discovery of radiation hard materials is accelerated by combining the strengths of high-throughput, lab automation and machine learning.

Thermoelectric technology enables the direct and reversible conversion of heat into electrical energy without air pollution. Herein, the stability, electronic structure, and thermoelectric properties of methoxy-functionalized MC(OMe) (M = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W) were systematically investigated using first-principles calculations and semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory. All MXenes, except those with M = Cr, Mo, and W, can be synthesized by substituting Cl- and Br-functionalized MXenes with deprotonated methanol, with stability governed by the M-O bond strength.

Materials And Methods: Forty mandibular premolars were randomly divided into two groups ( = 20): C: noncoated orthodontic brackets, and F: flash-free adhesive-precoated orthodontic brackets.
A Closer Look at the FeS Heme Bonds in Azotobacter vinelandii Bacterioferritin: QM/MM and Local Mode Analysis.
J Comput Chem

Chemistry Department, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas, USA.
Using the QM/MM methodology and a local mode analysis, we investigated a character and a strength of FeS bonds of heme groups in oxidized and reduced forms of Bacterioferritin from Azotobacter vinelandii. The strength of the FeS bonds was correlated with a bond length, an energy density at a bond critical point, and a charge difference of the F and S atoms. Changing the oxidation state from ferrous to ferric generally makes the FeS bonds weaker, longer, more covalent, and more polar.
