Objectives: To determine whether water sorption and solubility of a recently introduced self-adhesive cement is comparable to two clinically tested resin composite cements after thermal aging, and if this is affected by the curing mode. Whether water sorption is correlated with color difference and biaxial flexural strength was also investigated.

Methods: Water sorption and solubility of three resin composite cements {RelyX Universal (RUV), (Panavia V5 (PV5), Panavia SA plus (PSA)} were measured after thermal aging. Disk-shaped specimens were either light-cured or autopolymerized (n = 15 per group). Color difference ΔE and biaxial flexural strength were also obtained.

Results: Sorption was highest for RUV (auto: 54.9 ± 9.0 µg/mm, light: 49.7 ± 4.9 µg/mm), followed by PSA (auto: 37.7 ± 1.4 µg/mm, light: 34.5 ± 1.1 µg/mm) and PV5 (auto: 21.7 ± 0.7 µg/mm, light: 22.1 ± 0.4 µg/mm). Light-curing reduced solubility values, particularly for RUV (from 60.7 ± 20.8 µg/mm to 6.4 ± 0.8 µg/mm). Color differences of ΔE > 1.8 (considered clinically not acceptable) were noted after aging for RUV and PSA. Sorption and ΔE values after aging were correlated linearly (R = 0.970). Biaxial flexural strength values were highest for PV5 (light: 153.4 ± 15.9 MPa; auto: 133.2 ± 18.0 MPa) and lowest for RUV (light: 99.3 ± 12.8 MPa; auto: 35.1 ± 8.3 MPa).

Significance: Light-curing has beneficial effects on sorption, color stability, and biaxial flexural strength of resin composite cements. Cements containing 2-hydroxymethacrylate such as RUV and PSA are more prone to water sorption and color changes.

2D and 3D porous coordination networks (PCNs) as exemplified by metal-organic frameworks, MOFs, have garnered interest for their potential utility as sorbents for molecular separations and storage. The inherent modularity of PCNs has enabled the development of crystal engineering strategies for systematic fine-tuning of pore size and chemistry in families of related PCNs. The same cannot be said about one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers, CPs, which are understudied with respect to porosity.

Military bases and airports are often contaminated by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) due to the repeated use of aqueous film forming foams (AFFFs) from decades of training exercises, equipment testing, and extinguishing of fuel- and solvent-based fires. Pump-and-treat systems combined with sorption processes are common ex situ remediation strategies; however, they can be expensive and may require decades of operation, particularly at sites where long-term diffusion and desorption of contaminants are the primary release processes. Alternatively, in situ chemical oxidation is an effective remediation strategy in which oxidants (e.

The pollution potential of a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Bursa, Türkiye, in terms of organochlorine pesticides (ΣOCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (ΣPCBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (ΣPBDEs), was investigated in air samples. Concentrations were determined using polyurethane foam disk samplers at key processes, such as the aeration tank (AT) and settling chamber (SC) of the WWTP and the background area (BA) at an urban site. Atmospheric concentration levels of PBDEs at the SC are 1.
