Purpose: To evaluate the three-body wear resistance of five commercially available dual-cured resin-based composite luting agents compared both in a dry state and after water storage.
Materials And Methods: Six specimens of each material were prepared and tested for three-body wear resistance in the ACTA wear machine for 250,000 cycles and the loss of material was measured with a profilometer. Material wear was measured under three conditions: dry storage, 6-month water storage, and 12-month water storage.
Results: One-way and two-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test of multiple comparisons revealed significant differences in wear resistance. Water storage did not significantly affect the wear resistance of four of the five materials. The order of wear resistance was: Cosmedent Insure > Vivadent Dual-Cement > Kerr Porcelite Dual Cure > Jeneric/Pentron Optec Luting Cement > Chameleon Mirage FLC (P < or = 0.0001). The rank order of wear resistance could not be readily predicted when based solely on the manufacturers' reported physical specification data.

Electricity-powered C─C coupling of CO represents an attractive strategy for producing valuable commodity chemicals with renewable energy, but it is still challenging to gain high C selectivity at high current density. Here, a SnCu single-atom alloy (SAA) is reported with isolated Sn atom embedded into the Cu lattice, as efficient ectrocatalyst for CO reduction. The as prepared SnCu-SAA catalyst shows a maximal C Faradaic efficiency of 79.

The both-sides machining method can obtain high precision cylindrical rollers, but there is a drawback that the lapping plate is easy to wear, which restricts further improvement in the quality of rollers machining. Aiming to solve this problem, a both-sides machining method using hard ceramic lapping plate is proposed. Friction and wear experiments with different lapping plate materials, along with the corresponding comparative machining experiments, demonstrated the superior performance of AlO ceramic lapping plate in terms of roundness (0.

Metallic zinc (Zn) has been demonstrated to be a promising alternative to barrier membrane materials for guided bone regeneration. Surface roughness significantly affects the properties of degradable Zn-based metals, especially within the Janus micro-environments of tissue regeneration. However, the effects of optimal surface roughness on Zn remain unknown.

Natural materials are valued for their lightweight properties, high strength, impact resistance, and fracture toughness, often outperforming human-made materials. This paper reviews recent research on biomimetic composites, focusing on how composition, microstructure, and interfacial characteristics affect mechanical properties like strength, stiffness, and toughness. It explores biological structures such as mollusk shells, bones, and insect exoskeletons that inspire lightweight designs, including honeycomb structures for weight reduction and impact resistance.
