Purpose: The aim of the study was to emphasize the compressive strength and flexural strength of glass-ionomer cement (GIC)-gold hybrid, conventional GIC, and resin-modified GIC (RMGIC).

Methodology: Three GIC materials were used in the study: group A: GC-gold hybrid (Gold Label hybrid Universal Restorative), group B: type II conventional GIC, and group C: RMGIC. A total of 120 cylindrical test specimens of dimensions 4 mm diameter × 6 mm height were prepared from a custom-made Teflon mold according to respective study groups. The specimens prepared were then stored in 20 mL of deionized water at 37°C for 3 h daily for 30 days, and the solutions were changed every week, after which they were tested for compressive strength and flexural strength by using a universal force testing machine. All the results were analyzed by SPSS software and were subjected to statistical analysis using ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni test.

Results: The mean compressive strength was the highest for group A and lowest for group B. Similarly, the mean flexural strength was the highest for group A and lowest for group B.

Conclusion: The conclusions can be drawn from this study that the compressive strength and flexural strength of GC-gold hybrid were greater than those of RMGIC and conventional GIC.

Addressing environmental challenges such as pollution and resource depletion requires innovative industrial and municipal waste management approaches. Cement production, a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, highlights the need for eco-friendly building materials to combat global warming and promote sustainability. This study evaluates the simultaneous use of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) and Stone Dust (SD) as partial replacements by volume for cement and sand, respectively, at varying ratios in eco-strength concrete mixes designed for 28 MPa (ES-28) and 34 MPa (ES-34), emphasizing their economic and environmental benefits.

In situ swelling of low-friction, high load-bearing self-bending bilayer hydrogels inspired by articular cartilage.

Biomed Mater

January 2025

School of Advanced Manufacturing, Nanchang University - Qianhu Campus, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China, Nanchang, --- Select One ---, 330031, CHINA.

The articular cartilage is characterized by its gradient hierarchical structure, which exhibits excellent lubrication and robust load-bearing properties. However, its inherent difficulty in self-repair after damage presents numerous formidable challenges for cartilage repair. Inspired by the unique structure of articular cartilage, a biomimetic bilayer hydrogel composed of PAM (polyacrylamide) and PAM/SA (sodium alginate) is prepared using a two-step in-situ swelling method.
