Biopolymer‐Templated Hierarchical 3D‐Structured Gold Nanoparticle/Graphene Oxide Hybrid Materials for Ultrasensitive Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable bio‐templated approach using spray‐coating and thermal annealing fabricates cellulose nanofibril (CNF) films loaded with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and graphene oxide (GO) hybrids as Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. The 3D CNF network ensures uniform Au NPs distribution, while annealing induces more hotspots, confirmed ...

New Knowledge about Zirconium-Ceramic as a Structural Material in Fixed Prosthodontics

Acta Stomatologica Croatica, 2015
Dental ceramics represents a major structural material in fixed prosthodontics. Increasing demands for esthetics led to development of new ceramic materials in order to eliminate the use of metal framework and for all ceramic restorations with mechanical

Translucency and flexural strength of monolithic translucent zirconia and porcelain-layered zirconia

Dental Materials Journal, 2015
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of monolithic translucent TZP with different colors and porcelain-layered TZP by evaluating their colors and strengths. Different mixing ratios of Zpex to Zpex-Yellow as translucent TZP, conventional opaque TZP (TZ-3YB-E) (Tosoh, Tokyo) as a control, and veneering porcelain (CERABIEN ZR, body porcelain ...

Upconversion Nanoparticles Embedded Photonic Contact Lens for Transepithelial Corneal Crosslinking Using Hyaluronate – Riboflavin Conjugate

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive, transepithelial corneal cross‐linking (TE‐CXL) approach is presented using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)‐loaded contact lenses (UCLs), after topical delivery of hyaluronate–riboflavin conjugates. The NIR‐to‐UV/blue light conversion by UCNPs in a UCL can activate riboflavin for TE‐CXL, resulting in the biomechanical strength ...

Electrochemical Formation of BiVO4/BiPO4 Photoanodes for Enhanced Selectivity toward H2O2 Generation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In acidic KPi, V dissolves from the BiVO4 lattice, while adsorbed phosphate reacts with the electrode under an external bias, forming a BiPO4 surface layer. This BiPO4 layer exhibits stronger bicarbonate adsorption, redirecting the water oxidation pathway toward two‐electron H2O2 production.

Colloidal Crack Sintering Lithography for Light‐Induced Patterning of Particle Assemblies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Colloidal crack sintering lithography (CCSL) is a microfabrication technique that uses light‐induced photothermal heating to trigger sintering and controlled cracking in polymer colloidal assemblies. Local structural changes generate microchannels and patterns, enabling direct writing of diverse topographic motifs.
