The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of microslits formed by Nd:YVO laser beam machining on the bond strength between two types of zirconia, yttria-partially stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) and ceria-partially stabilized zirconia/alumina nanocomposite (Ce-TZP/A), and porcelain or two types of resin. Zirconia disks were divided into three groups: 1) non-treated (NT); 2) blasted with alumina particles (AB); 3) microslits fabricated on a zirconia surface by laser beam machining (MS). After veneering porcelain or resins on zirconia specimens, halves of the resin specimens were thermocycled up to 20,000 cycles. The shear bond strength between porcelain and both types of zirconia was not improved by the microslits. Before and after thermocycling, the bond strength between an indirect composite resin or acrylic resin and Y-TZP with microslits was the highest. It was concluded that the microslits on Y-TZP enabled micromechanical interlocking and improved the bond strength and durability of the resins.

Addressing the high cost and long cycle associated with the multistep digital restoration process involving 3D printing technology, we proposed the 3D pen as an innovative strategy for rapid bone repair. Capitalizing on the low melting point characteristic of polycaprolactone (PCL), we introduced, for the first time, the novel concept of directly constructing scaffolds at bone defect sites using 3D pens. In this in vitro study, we meticulously evaluated both the mechanical and biological properties of 3D pen-printed PCL scaffolds with six distinct textures: unidirectional (UNI) (0°, 45°, 90°), bidirectional (BID) (-45°/45°, 0°/90°), and concentric (CON).

The poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) has been deemed as an appealing matrix for solid polymer electrolytes due to its wide electrochemical window and excellent thermal stability. Further incorporation with garnet filler endows PVDF-based electrolyte with increased ionic conductivity and mechanical strength. However, the spontaneous formation of alkaline layer containing LiOH/LiCO on garnet surface cannot be neglected, concerning its low ionic conductivity combined with the destructive effect on electrochemical performance of PVDF-based composite electrolytes.

NaMnTi(PO) is a promising sodium-ion cathode material due to its relatively high specific capacity, excellent thermodynamic stability and low cost. However, unfavorable electron conductivity and slow kinetics limit its practical application. Here, a strategy of hetero and multivalent anion substitution is proposed to achieve high-rate performance and good capacity retention.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX) cavity disinfectant on interfacial microleakage and micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of a universal adhesive bonded to dentin in both self-etch (SE) and etch-and-rinse (ER) modes.

Methods: Class I cavities were prepared in the coronal dentin of extracted human teeth and assigned to two etching modes (SE or ER), then subdivided by disinfection with or without CHX (n = 5). Cavities were restored using Single Bond Universal Adhesive and Filtek Z350 XT composite.

The treatment and resource utilization of municipal sludge and dredged silt have been rendered urgent by the acceleration of urbanization and stricter environmental protection demands. An effective solution was developed to address the challenges of poor mechanical properties and the difficulty in directly using cement-based materials for municipal sludge treatment. The utilization of dredged silt with high water content served as the foundational skeleton material.
