Clinical Relevance: The photo-initiator system based on an advanced polymerization system may be an alternative that can be used to overcome the disadvantages of radicular dentin, especially for the apical third.

Summary: Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of universal adhesives with different photo-initiator systems applied in etch-and-rinse (ER) and self-etch (SE) modes on dentin interaction (push-out bond strength [PBS], nanoleakage [NL], and degree of conversion [DC] within the hybrid layer) in the different root thirds after fiber post cementation.Methods and Materials: Roots of endodontically prepared human premolars were randomly divided into six groups according to one of three adhesive systems (Scotchbond Universal [SBU], Ambar Universal [AMB], and Ambar Universal APS [AMB-APS]) and two adhesive strategies (ER and SE) for each system. Posts were cemented, and PBS was tested at 0.5 mm/min. The NL was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. DC was measured using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The data were analyzed by three-way analysis of variance and Tukey tests (α=0.05).Results: AMB-APS showed similar performance in all root thirds (p>0.05) and higher values of DC, especially in the apical third (p<0.0001). AMB and SBU showed the lowest values in the apical third (p<0.0001).Conclusions: The APS photo-initiator system contained in universal adhesives is a feasible alternative for improving radicular bonding procedure.

In this study, poly(HEMA-PEGxMEM-IA) hydrogels were prepared by radical copolymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGxMEM), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and itaconic acid (IA). The reaction was carried out in ethanolic solution using N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinking agent and 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone (HCPK) as a photo-initiator. The poly(HEMA-PEGxMEM-IA) hydrogels (HGx) were evaluated as a delivery system for ursolic acid (UA), a phytochemical extracted from the plant "flor de arena".

Polymer systems induced by the reaction between monomers and photo-initiators play a crucial role in the formation of volume-phase gratings. In this paper, we fabricated a dual-photo-initiator photopolymer by doping EY (Eosin Yellow) molecules into a TI (Titanocene, Irgacure 784@BASF) dispersed PMMA (poly-[methyl methacrylate]) substrate system, with the aim of promoting the diffusion and polymerization processes in volume holographic storage. The two-wave interference system is adopted to record a permanent grating structure in our materials.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study explores crosslinking nanoparticles made of Fmoc-protected tyrosine and tryptophan using UV light, with two different wavelengths (254 nm and 365 nm) influencing the dimerization process.
  • * Enhanced stability of the nanoparticles allows for the adsorption of doxorubicin, which, when combined with tannic acid-iron complex, provides controlled drug release and improved anticancer effectiveness in lab tests and mouse models.

We demonstrate a gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) featuring a crosslinked polymer matrix formed by poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) and dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate (DPHA) using the radical photo initiator via ultraviolet (UV) photopolymerization for lithium-ion batteries. The two monomers with acrylate functional groups undergo chemical crosslinking, resulting in a three-dimensional structure capable of absorbing liquid electrolytes to form a gel. The GPE system was strategically designed by varying the ratios between the main polymer backbone (PEGDA) and the crosslinker (DPHA) to achieve an optimal gel polymer electrolyte network.
