This study has explored the possibility to reuse the waste, spent coffee material for the cellulase enzyme immobilization. By the coffee surface modification with different activating agents, it was attempted to develop the convenient method for creation of a capable porous carrier for this purpose. Among the most common activating agents, glutaraldehyde, chlorine dioxide and hydrogen peroxide provided the most acceptable choice for the coffee surface modification. The changes that occurred on the coffee surface due to agents' treatment exposure were recorded by using of the FTIR spectra and SEM micrographs. The highest immobilization yield (55%) and immobilization efficiency (45%) were attained during 30min of the treatment time, by employing of 30% chlorine dioxide aqueous solution within 6mL/g activator/carrier ratio. The kinetic process was found to be predicted by the pseudo-second-order model. The cellulase immobilization onto the coffee surface provides an excellent base for increasing the enzyme availability to the substrate and enhancing the enzyme productivity, by offering the new perspectives to the industrial sector.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the surface roughness and color stability of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with those of conventional interim prosthetic materials like polymethylmethacrylate, bis-acrylic composite, and rubberized diurethane dimethacrylate, following immersion in solutions of varying pH value.
Materials And Methods: A total of 320 circular discs with 10 mm diameter and 2 mm height were divided based on the fabrication ( = 80)-group A: polymethylmethacrylate; group B: bis-acrylic composite; group R: rubberized diurethane; and group P: hot-pressed PEEK-and were subjected to baseline measurement of roughness ( = 40) and color ( = 40) using 3D profilometer and UV-Vis spectrophotometer, respectively. Later, 10 samples from each group were immersed in distilled water, black coffee, green tea, and Pepsi, respectively, for 120 days, and measurements of roughness and color were repeated.
How Droplets Dry on Stretched Soft Substrates.

Droplet evaporation on solid substrates is a ubiquitous phenomenon and is relevant in many natural and industrial processes. Whereas it has been reported that the evaporation process is sped up on soft substrates compared with that on hard substrates, no attempt has been made in exploring how substrate stretching affects droplet evaporation and evaporative deposition patterns. Here, we systematically investigate the contact line dynamics of droplets evaporating on substrates with different stiffnesses and stretching ratios and the structures of the evaporative deposition patterns of nanoparticles.

Objective: This study aims to examine color properties of repairs made with various composites on restorations produced through additive-manufactured resin composites (AM-RC) and zirconia (AM-Z) or subtractive manufacturing (SM) after coffee thermocycling (CTC).
Materials And Methods: Disk-shaped specimens (Ø10 × 2 mm; N = 120) were fabricated using six different material groups: additively manufactured resin composite (AM-RC) materials (Crowntec [C], NextDent [ND]), additively manufactured zirconia (AM-Z) materials (Lithoz [LI], INNI-Cera [IN]), and subtractively manufactured (SM) materials (CEREC Tessera [ALD], Vita Enamic [EN]). Subsequently, each group was further subdivided into two subgroups (n = 10) based on the type of repair using two different composites resins: Clearfil Majesty Posterior (CL) (n = 60) and Filtek Z350 (FZ) (n = 60).

The applicability of cellulose and its derivatives is greatly depends on their attributes such as aspect ratio, morphology, surface chemistry, crystallinity, as well as their thermal and mechanical properties. However, these attributes can alter according to the utilized raw material, size classifications, extraction techniques, or fibrillation methods. Among these, the effect of raw material particle size on cellulose properties has received limited attention in scientific studies.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic compounds resulting from incomplete burning of organic materials. This work describes the successful layer-by-layer fabrication of a novel zinc oxide nanocomposite made of zinc oxide nanoparticles, aniline, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes on a stainless steel wire by electrodeposition. The coating and extraction conditions were screened, optimized, and validated using factorial design and central composite design, respectively.
