Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Analysis of sealing ability of endodontic cements apical plugs

Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, 2018
It is unknown whether the bioactivity of Biodentine characterized by the precipitation of hydroxyapatite and formation of tags into the dentinal tubules improve its sealing ability as an apical plug. Aim: To evaluate the sealing ability provided by Biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apical plugs, with or without phosphate-buffered saline ...

Regulated Ion‐Diffusion Hydrogels for Subtle and Multimodal Temperature‐Strain Sensing in Wound Monitoring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A soft, dual‐channel hydrogel patch enables simultaneous detection of wound temperature and strain by integrating ion‐diffusion‐mediated thermoelectric and resistive sensing. The conformal design maintains stable performance during motion, capturing subtle inflammatory and mechanical changes for continuous wound monitoring.

Running-in of metal-to-metal seals and its influence on sealing ability with application to the design of biodegradable thread compounds [PDF]

, 2018
Metal-to-metal sealing of casing connections is affected by running-in because it determines the topography of the gap between the contacting surfaces by wear and plastic deformation during assembly under the influence of the thread compound, coatings and the initial surface topography.
