Published: April 2024

Minimizing and controlling the amount of tooth reduction during the preparation of ultrathin laminate veneers is a challenge for minimally invasive dentistry. The use of reduction guides is advised to reach the optimal space required for the definitive restoration without excessive reduction. The digital production of a reduction guide used to control tooth preparation for ultrathin laminate veneers is described.

Carbon-supported Pt-based catalysts are the most effective catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). However, challenges such as high Pt loading, cost, and susceptibility to CO poisoning severely hinder the development of DMFCs. In this paper, CoFeO@polymer@ZIF-67 is prepared successfully through sequential solution polymerization and in situ growth with modified CoFeO as the core.

SARS-CoV-2 is a threat to global public health, which requires the development of safe measures to reduce the spread of this coronavirus. Herein, in this study, we prepared and examined potential antiviral agents based on ZnAl-layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH) materials. ZnAl-LDH-based samples were synthesized via a one-pot low-temperature coprecipitation method, which features an ultrathin structure.

One-dimensional (1D) functional nanowires are widely used as nanoscale building blocks for assembling advanced nanodevices due to their unique functionalities. However, previous research has mainly focused on nanowire functionality, while neglecting the structural stability and damage resistance of nanowire assemblies, which are critical for the long-term operation of nanodevices. Biomaterials achieve excellent mechanical stability and damage resistance through sophisticated structural design.

This work developed a novel oxidized hierarchical porous carbon (OHPC) with vesicule-like ultrathin graphitic walls via a method of air oxidation and used as an efficient adsorbent for Congo red (CR) and Malachite green (MG) removal. Results show that the OHPC2 oxidized at 400 °C possesses three-dimensional hierarchical pores with vesicule-like ultrathin graphitic walls. The prepared OHPC2 not only has a large specific surface area of 1020 m g with a high pore volume, but also has abundant oxygen-containing functional groups.

The conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy by triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) has attracted attention in recent years, particularly in the field of wearable sensor. In this work, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF) with carboxylate groups were compounded with MXene to serve as both the negative friction layer and the electrode in assembling a TENG with nylon. The synergistic effect between TOCNF and MXene was analyzed to disclose its influence on the performance of the as-prepared TENG.
