Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of surface treatment on the shear bond strength of two different adhesive-coated orthodontic ceramic brackets to computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) nanohybrid composite.
Methods: A total of 120 specimens (10 mm × 10 mm × 3 mm) were prepared from each type of CAD/CAM block (Grandio [GR], VOCO Cuxhaven, Germany; Lava Ultimate [LU], 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA). For each type of CAD/CAM block, the plates were divided into four groups based on the applied surface treatment: hydrofluoric acid (HF), grinding bur (GB), silica coating with CoJet system (CS), and titanium tetrafluoride (TiF) 2 wt/v%. Maxillary central incisors of adhesive-coated ceramic orthodontic brackets (APC Flash-free Clarity Advanced Ceramic, 3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA) were bonded using Transbond XT Primer (3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA). Shear bond strength was conducted, and the modes of failure were assessed utilizing the adhesive remnant index. Surface roughness and topography of treated CAD/CAM were evaluated. Data were statistically analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test. The Weibull analysis was conducted on shear bond strength data.
Results: Surface treatment with 2% TiF wt/v revealed significantly higher bond strength (GR, 14.51 ± 2.57 MPa; LU, 11.19 ± 2.17 MPa) than other groups for both types of CAD/CAM restorative materials (p < 0.05). Adhesive failures were the predominant mode of failure. Surface treatment with CS revealed higher surface roughness than other groups (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Surface treatment with 2% TiF wt/v enhanced the adhesion between orthodontic ceramic brackets to GR and LU CAD/CAM composite restorative materials. GR CAD/CAM nanohybrid composite had higher bond strength than LU to ceramic orthodontic brackets.

Emerging photovoltaics for outer space applications are one of the many examples where radiation hard molecular semiconductors are essential. However, due to a lack of general design principles, their resilience against extra-terrestrial high-energy radiation can currently not be predicted. In this work, the discovery of radiation hard materials is accelerated by combining the strengths of high-throughput, lab automation and machine learning.

Thermoelectric technology enables the direct and reversible conversion of heat into electrical energy without air pollution. Herein, the stability, electronic structure, and thermoelectric properties of methoxy-functionalized MC(OMe) (M = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W) were systematically investigated using first-principles calculations and semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory. All MXenes, except those with M = Cr, Mo, and W, can be synthesized by substituting Cl- and Br-functionalized MXenes with deprotonated methanol, with stability governed by the M-O bond strength.

Materials And Methods: Forty mandibular premolars were randomly divided into two groups ( = 20): C: noncoated orthodontic brackets, and F: flash-free adhesive-precoated orthodontic brackets.
A Closer Look at the FeS Heme Bonds in Azotobacter vinelandii Bacterioferritin: QM/MM and Local Mode Analysis.
J Comput Chem

Using the QM/MM methodology and a local mode analysis, we investigated a character and a strength of FeS bonds of heme groups in oxidized and reduced forms of Bacterioferritin from Azotobacter vinelandii. The strength of the FeS bonds was correlated with a bond length, an energy density at a bond critical point, and a charge difference of the F and S atoms. Changing the oxidation state from ferrous to ferric generally makes the FeS bonds weaker, longer, more covalent, and more polar.
