Polymer matrix composites are popular for their lightweight and high strength. Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), known for its transparency, can be toughened with polyurethane (PU) to expand its applications. This study further strengthened PU-PMMA by adding carbon fiber powder from offcut fabrics (oCFP), enhancing mechanical and adhesion properties. Tensile, flexural, and lap-shear tests were conducted to investigate the effects of the oCFP on the mechanical and adhesion properties of the PU-PMMA resin. The oCFP-modified PU-PMMA was then used in scarf repair to assess its effectiveness on the impacted composite laminates. Tensile and flexural tests showed that 1 wt% oCFP improved tensile strength from 38 MPa to 43.31 MPa and flexural strength from 56.02 MPa to 82.21 MPa, while further addition of oCFP led to reductions in these strengths. Although oCFP-modified PU-PMMA did not significantly restore the impacted laminates' flexural strength, the repairing effect was still more pronounced than that of a commercial epoxy adhesive, demonstrating potential as a repair or structural adhesive.

Background: Post-surgical tendon adhesion formation is a frequent clinical complication with limited treatment options. The aim of this study is to investigate safety and efficacy of orally administration of crocin in attenuating post-operative tendon-sheath adhesion bands in an Achilles tendon rat model.
Methods: Structural, mechanical, histological, and biochemical properties of Achilles tendons were analyzed in the presence and absence of crocin.

Gelatin-based biomaterials have emerged as promising candidates for bioadhesives due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. However, they often face limitations due to the uncontrollable phase transition of gelatin, which is dominated by hydrogen bonds between peptide chains. Here, we developed controllable phase transition gelatin-based (CPTG) bioadhesives by regulating the dynamic balance of hydrogen bonds between the peptide chains using 2-hydroxyethylurea (HU) and punicalagin (PA).

The adhesion of raindrops on car rearview mirrors poses a significant threat to traffic safety due to the resulting blurred vision. Transparent superhydrophobic coatings have emerged as a potential solution to this problem. However, the development of transparent superhydrophobic coatings is often hampered by complex preparation procedures, high costs, and limited substrate compatibility, rendering them unsuitable for practical applications.

Background: Short dentin etching, a relatively recent technique, aims to improve resin-dentin bonding by preserving hydroxyapatite crystals within the collagen spaces. This study explores short dentin etching's potential in mitigating over-etching issues in deep proximal dentin/cementum margins, an aspect not previously investigated. This study evaluates the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) and marginal adaptation of two universal adhesives using different etch-and-rinse strategies (15-second and 3-second etching) and self-etch strategies, both immediate and post-thermal cycling and mechanical loading.
