Statement Of Problem: Studies on the surface roughness and color stainability of interim prostheses produced with 3-dimensional-printing technology are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of different surface treatments on the surface roughness and stainability of 3-dimensionally printed, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled and conventional interim materials.
Material And Methods: A total of 320 specimens were fabricated from autopolymerizing polymethyl methacrylate, bis-acryl composite resin, CAD-CAM polymethyl methacrylate resin (milled), and 3-dimensionally printed composite resin (printed) (n=80). A group of each material was divided into 2 groups (n=40) as per the applied surface treatment procedure: conventional polishing (C) or coated with a surface sealant (B). Surface roughness values were measured with a profilometer. Each group of specimens was then divided into 4 subgroups (n=10) and stored for 1 day, 7 days, and 30 days at 37 °C in different solutions: distilled water, cola, coffee, and red wine. Color parameters were measured with a spectrophotometer before and after each storage period, and color differences (CIEDE2000 [ΔE]) were calculated. Data were statistically analyzed with the Shapiro-Wilk test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Mann-Whitney U test followed by the Friedman test (α=.05).
Results: The highest surface roughness values were determined for the polymethyl methacrylate -C, and the lowest were observed in the printed-B. After 30 days, the highest mean ΔE values were observed in polymethyl methacrylate-C for all staining solutions (P=.001). The highest ΔE for all materials was observed in the red wine group. Color change increased significantly with storage duration (P=.001).
Conclusions: All tested materials had a surface roughness higher than the plaque accumulation threshold (0.2 μm). The surface roughness values of coated materials were significantly lower than those of their conventionally polished groups, except for the printed groups. The application of a surface sealant agent significantly decreased the staining of the materials.

Photothermal superhydrophobic treatment is an effective anti-icing and de-icing method, avoiding damage to equipment caused by ice accumulation in winter. However, the traditional photothermal materials were expensive and the photothermal conversion coatings are hard to remove when unnecessary. Herein, three biochar microspheres with solid, hollow, and flower-like structures (SBMs, HBMs, FBMs) were fabricated to construct photothermal superhydrophobic coatings on the polyester fabric (PET), respectively.

Although impurities are unavoidable in real-world and experimental systems, most numerical studies on nucleation focus on pure (impurity-free) systems. As a result, the role of impurities in phase transitions remains poorly understood, especially for systems with complex free energy landscapes featuring one or more intermediate metastable phases. In this study, we employed Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the effects of static impurities (quenched disorder) of varying length scales and surface morphologies on the crystal nucleation mechanism and kinetics in the Gaussian core model system-a representative model for soft colloidal systems.

This study evaluates the deposition of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films with copper impurities on a glass substrate using simultaneous direct current (DC) and radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. The structural, optical, electrical, and mechanical properties, as well as the surface topography of the films, were investigated under various DC power levels using Raman spectroscopy, ellipsometry, UV-VIS, I-V measurements, nanoindentation, AFM, and FESEM. Results indicate that increasing the DC power to the graphite target from 60 to 120 , while maintaining a constant 10 of RF power to the copper target, enhances the optical absorption coefficient of the films and increases the optical bandgap from 0.

Dental implant coronal surfaces designed with the primary goal of maintaining crestal bone levels may also promote bacterial adhesion, leading to soft tissue inflammation and peri-implant bone loss. Achieving an optimal surface roughness that minimizes bacterial adhesion while preserving crestal bone is crucial. It is hypothesized that a specific threshold surface roughness value may exist below which, and above which, initial bacterial adhesion does not statistically change.
