This study examined the mechanical and chemical properties of an experimental provisional restoration containing Sr-bioactive glass nanoparticles (Sr-BGNPs) compared to commercial provisional materials. The experimental material (TempS10) contained dimethacrylate monomers with added 10 wt% Sr-BGNPs. The degree of monomer conversion (DC) of self-curing ( = 5), biaxial flexural strength (BFS)/modulus (BFM) ( = 5), and color changes (ΔE*) of materials in red wine ( = 5) were determined. Additionally, ion release (Ca, P, and Sr) in water at 2 weeks was examined ( = 3). The commercial materials tested included polymethyl methacrylate-based provisional material (Unifast) and bis-acrylic materials (Protemp4 and Cooltemp). TempS10 exhibited a comparable degree of monomer conversion (49%) to that of Protemp4 (60%) and Cooltemp (54%) ( > 0.05). The DC of Unifast (81%) was significantly higher than that of other materials ( < 0.05). TempS10 showed a BFS (126 MPa) similar to Cooltemp (102 MPa) and Unifast (123 MPa), but lower than Protemp4 (194 MPa). The immersion time for 2 weeks exhibited no detrimental effect on the strength and modulus of all materials. The highest ΔE* at 24 h and 2 weeks was observed with TempS10, followed by Cooltemp, Unifast, and Protemp4. Only TempS10 showed a detectable amount of Ca (0.69 ppm), P (0.12 ppm), and Sr (3.01 ppm). The experimental provisional resin restoration containing Sr-BGNPs demonstrated polymerization and strength comparable to those of bis-acryl provisional restorations but with the added benefit of ion-releasing properties. However, the experimental material demonstrated unsatisfactory color stability.

Vat photopolymerization (VPP) is an additive manufacturing method that requires the design of photocurable resins to act as feedstock and binder for the printing of parts, both monolithic and composite. The design of a suitable photoresin is costly and time-consuming. The development of one formulation requires the consumption of kilograms of costly materials, weeks of printing and performance testing, as well as the need to have developers with the expertise and knowledge of the materials used, making the development process cost thousands.

Molecular simulations offer valuable insights into thermosetting polymers' microstructures and interactions with small molecules, aiding in the development of advanced materials. In this study, we design two cyanate resin models featuring monomers of different sizes and employ a previously developed method to generate crosslinked structures. We then analyze their crosslinking processes and physicochemical properties.

Polymeric materials made from renewable sources that can biodegrade in the environment are attracting considerable attention as substitutes for petroleum-based polymers in many fields, including additive manufacturing and, in particular, Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). Among the others, poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) hold significant potential as candidates for FDM since they meet the sustainability and biodegradability standards mentioned above. However, the most utilised PHA, consisting of the poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) homopolymer, has a high degree of crystallinity and low thermal stability near the melting point.

Molds are persistent and harmful but receive far less research attention compared with pathogenic bacteria. With the increase in microbial resistance to single-chain surfactant antimicrobial agents, it is crucial to investigate how surfactant structures affect the antimicrobial activity of surfactants. Here, we have studied the antimold efficacy of a series of oligomeric cationic quaternary ammonium surfactants at varying oligomerization levels with or without dynamic covalent imine bonds.

Protein A chromatography represents the most prevalent methodology for the capture of monoclonal antibodies. The use of a low pH elution buffer from Protein A has been observed to contribute to product aggregation, particularly in the case of IgG4 antibodies, such as nivolumab. This paper presents a well-defined strategy for addressing this issue.
