Effect of glazing and polishing on opalescence and fluorescence of dental ceramics

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1645-1654, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective Tooth enamel has opalescence and fluorescence, which should be mimicked by esthetic dental restorations. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of glazing and polishing on the opalescence and fluorescence of dental ceramics. Materials and Methods Twenty‐four discs were fabricated of feldspathic, IPS e.max, zirconia, and

Recent Advances in Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ubiquitous defects predominately account for photo‐instability and open‐circuit voltage losses in wide‐bandgap perovskite solar cells (WBG PSCs). This review comprehensively presents the underlying impact mechanisms, summarizes the advanced optimization strategies across various functional layers and their interfaces to develop efficient and stable WBG

Removal of Natural Organic Matter Fractions by Kaolin/Fly Ash Ceramic Microfiltration Membrane in Drinking Water: Insights from a Laboratory Scale Application

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The prepared ceramic membrane exhibited 28.84 µm average pore size and hydrophilic properties (≈27.4° contact angle). FTIR shows the presence of aluminol, siloxane, and hydroxyl groups and XRD confirms the presence of quartz and kaolinite phases. Separation of natural organic matter from drinking water is achieved by microfiltration at 0.25 bar and is ...

Assessing the Impact of Chemical Algae Management Strategies on Anurans and Aquatic Communities

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 213-224, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Pond management with chemical and biological agents that reduce overgrowth of algae is an important means of maintaining water quality in residential ponds, yet the effects on nontarget species are not fully understood. We assessed the impact of Aquashade (a common nontoxic pond dye) and copper sulfate (a toxic algaecide) on American toad ...
