Because of the many advantages of high-precision micromachining, picosecond pulsed lasers (PSPLs) can be used to process chemical-vapor-deposited diamonds (CVD-D). With the appropriate PSPL manufacturing technique, sharp and smooth edges of CVD-D micro tools can be generated. In this study, a PSPL is used to cut CVD-D. To optimize PSPL cutting, the effects of its parameters including fluence, pulse pitch, and wavelength on the cutting results were investigated. The results showed that the wavelength had the greatest impact on the sharpness of CVD-D. With PSPL cutting, sharp cutting edges, and smooth fabricated surfaces of the CVD-D, micro tools were achieved. Finally, the fabrication of CVD-D micro milling tools and micro milling experiments were also demonstrated.

Presently, researchers are placing emphasis on microwave absorption coating design while neglecting the research on materials that integrate both microwave absorption performance and mechanical properties. Here, robust FeSiAl/PEEK composites were prepared by a series process, including post ball-milling annealing, sol-gel method, and hot pressing. A detailed analysis of the electromagnetic (EM) parameters reveals the significant effects of morphology, filling ratio, and microstructure of FeSiAl on EM losses under a wide-temperature range.

Background/objectives: Curcumin is well known for its great anti-inflammatory and antioxidant efficacy, representing a potential strategy for the treatment of respiratory disorders. However, several drawbacks, such as chemical instability, poor water solubility and rapid metabolism, result in low bioavailability, limiting its clinical applications. In this study, curcumin nanocrystals were incorporated into mannitol-based microparticles to obtain an inhalable dry powder.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of different zirconia compositions and manufacturing processes on the light irradiance (LI), to measure the degree of conversion (DC) of solely light-curing restorative composite underneath these zirconia grades and to evaluate the respective zirconia microstructures.
Methods: Six dental zirconia grades (GC HT, GC UHT [GC]; Katana HT, Katana UTML [Kuraray Noritake]; Lava Esthetic, Lava Plus [3 M Oral Care]) were cut and sintered per manufacturer instructions. One 3D-printed zirconia grade (XJet [XJET]) was prepared according to previous research.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the margin quality of anterior crowns made of experimental short fiber-reinforced CAD/CAM composite (SFRC CAD) block before and after cyclic fatigue aging. Moreover, to investigate the microstructure, homogeneity, and porosity of the SFRC CAD compared with other commercial CAD/CAM materials.
Methods: 40 anterior crowns were milled from five CAD/CAM blocks divided into five groups (n = 8/group).
