Mixing dry carbomer powder with water using magneto-hydrodynamic mixing yielded carbomer dispersions with higher viscosity and increased storage modulus as compared to conventional high shear mixing. H NMR spectroscopy demonstrated this to be induced by a different water distribution, accompanied by lower ionization and higher degradation of the polymer in case of high shear mixing. This investigation reveals H MAS NMR to provide suitable sensitivity and resolution to detect structural changes induced in organic polymers during their hydration.

Natural teeth fulfill functional demands by their heterogeneity. The composition and hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanostructured orientation of enamel differ from those of dentin. However, mimicking analogous materials still exhibit a significant challenge.

This research aimed to assess the shear bond strength (SBS) of metal brackets bonded to composite veneers using different surface preparations. One-hundred composite disks were divided into 10 different groups whereby each group combines a surface preparation (roughening or no roughening), etching agent (37% phosphoric or 9.5% hydrofluoric acid), adhesive protocol (self-etch or total-etch), and bonding agent (with or without G-Premio Bond).

The distribution of high-viscosity microfilms in designated regions is crucial for the performance and durability of MEMS devices. This paper presents a novel method for controllable film formation in the milli/micron region by blade coating. A microfilm can be formed without viscosity limitation, and the formation process can be monitored only via a one-dimensional force sensor.

Aim: Branch atheromatous disease (BAD), characterized by the occlusion of perforating branches near the orifice of a parent artery, often develops early neurological deterioration because the mechanisms underlying BAD remain unclear. Abnormal wall shear stress (WSS) is strongly associated with endothelial dysfunction and plaque growth or rupture. Therefore, we hypothesized that computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling could detect differences in WSS between BAD and small-vessel occlusion (SVO), both of which result from perforating artery occlusion/stenosis.

Protein aggregation, a major concern in biopharmaceutical quality control, can be accelerated by various stresses during clinical handling. This study investigated potential aggregation risk factors during dilution process with syringe handling for intravenous administration. Using γ-globulin and IgG solutions as surrogate models of antibody therapeutics, we examined the effects of high sliding speeds and piston operations of the syringe on protein aggregation during saline dilution.
