Mechanical plaque removal in step‐1 of care
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Maintaining a regular oral hygiene routine is essential for taking care of our mouths, ensuring healthy teeth, and achieving fresh breath. Patient education on oral hygiene is an important component of their overall treatment. Firstly, patients should be informed about the direct connection between bacteria in dental plaque and oral diseases ...

Tilting analysis of circular elastic layers interleaving with flexible reinforcements [PDF]
, 2007 Bonding with reinforcements can increase the stiffness of elastic layers in the normal direction. The flexibility effect of the reinforcement on the bonded elastic layers of a circular cross-section subjected to pure bending moment is analyzed through a ...

Progressive damage and rupture in polymers
, 2017 Progressive damage, which eventually leads to failure, is ubiquitous in biological and synthetic polymers. The simplest case to consider is that of elastomeric materials, which can undergo large reversible deformations with negligible rate dependence. In

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This work pioneers melt electrowriting (MEW) of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) to fabricate ultra‐compliant, high‐resolution scaffolds. By integrating microscale precision with soft tissue‐like biomechanics, PEVA overcomes stiffness‐driven limitations of conventional MEW polymers, establishing a mechanically biomimetic platform for soft tissue ...

Bridge-specific fragility analysis: when is it really necessary? [PDF]
, 2018 In seismic assessment of bridges the research focus has recently shifted on the derivation of bridge-specific fragility curves that account for the effect of different geometry, structural system, component and soil properties, on the seismic behaviour ...

Hybrid Magnetoactive Soft Elastomers: Material Development Toward Application in Diaphragm Pumps
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Hybrid magnetoactive soft elastomeric membranes are developed by combining two different types of magnetic particles. The membranes exhibit distinct mechanical, magnetic and thermal properties owing to the unique characteristics of the two magnetic particles.
