Performance improvement of carbon fiber‐reinforced ABS composites by introducing fullerene nanoparticles

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Fullerene particles were incorporated with CF‐reinforced acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene terpolymer (ABS) matrix at three different compositions by a melt‐compounding process. These insights are crucial for the optimization of conductive hybrid composites for various applications.

Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation

Small, EarlyView.
Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.

Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Altered Cast Impression Technique for a Molar Supported with Two Dental Implants: A Technical Report

Journal of Mashhad Dental School, 2021
Introduction: Since first molars are among the first lost teeth, is it common to restore them with dental implants. Considering the amount of remaining mesiodistal space, a wide/medium-diameter implant or two medium/narrow-diameter implants are used in this region.

An In-Vitro Comparative Study of the Properties of Dental Stone Models Disinfected by Incorporation Technique and Immersion Technique [PDF]

, 2017
INTRODUCTION : “Dimensional accuracy is crucial for the quality of prosthodontic treatment. Disinfection is critical for a healthy clinical practice”. Gypsum products are not directly used restorative material in dentistry, but in spite of that they

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

The morphological affinities of the fossil cranium from Kabua, Kenya Affinités morphologiques du crâne fossile de Kabua (Kenya)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our current understanding of the origins of Homo sapiens is limited, in part, by the fragmented fossil record from Late Pleistocene and early Holocene Africa. Here, we re‐examine the Kabua 1 cranium, an enigmatic and little‐studied Kenyan fossil discovered in the 1950s. We compare virtual reconstructions created previously by our team with a wide range

An evaluation of an Iraqi phosphate-bonded investment and a commercial type on the marginal fit of ceramometalcopings using three different investing and burnout techniques

Journal of Baghdad College of Dentistry, 2014
Background: The accuracy of fitness of any dental casting is imperative for the success of any prosthodontic treatment. From the time that dental casting was first introduced, efforts have been made to produce more accurate and better fitted castings ...
