Purpose: To investigate the effects of phosphoric acid esters (PAEs)-containing primers on the micro-tensile bond strengths (MTBS) of etched enamel, the micro-morphologies of the resin–enamel interfaces, and the enamel surfaces.
Materials and Methods: Thirty-three bovine incisors were used in this study. After the labial enamel surfaces were highly polished, they were etched, water sprayed, and air-dried. Afterward, the enamel surfaces were treated with or without (control) one of three PAEs-containing primers (40%MDP, Ivoclar Vivadent; Resulcin AquaPrime A + B, DMG; Xeno V, Dentsply), water sprayed, and air-dried. Subsequently, an adhesive Heliobond (Ivoclar Vivadent) was applied and resin composite (Core Build-up, Bisco) was placed incrementally. They were prepared into multiple beams of about 1 × 1 × 8 mm for MTBS tests. The enamel surfaces and resin–enamel interfaces were analyzed by SEM and TEM. The data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and LSD test.
Results: Using PAEs-containing primers could increase the enamel MTBS (p < 0.05). The primer MDP produced higher MTBS than the primer Resulcin AquaPrime A + B and Xeno V. The SEM findings revealed the primed enamel surfaces were covered with a thin or glue-like layer of monomer-calcium salts of PAEs and the residual enamel crystallites, and various micro-porosities were detected within the hybrid layers. The TEM findings revealed the hydroxyapatite crystallites were tightly covered by the adhesive, the adhesive mixed with resin composite, or sparse irregular enamel crystallites.
Conclusion: The application of PAEs-containing primers on the etched enamel substrate could significantly increase the immediate enamel bond strengths. However, this effect was dependent on the individual PAEs-containing primer used. 相似文献
Yb3+‐doped LuAG laser ceramics with different Yb3+‐doping concentrations were successfully fabricated by nonaqueous tape casting method and vacuum sintering technology. XRD patterns and SEM morphologies of the ceramics were presented. The optical in‐line transmittance of the Yb‐doped LuAG ceramics was about 83% at 1030 nm. The fluorescence lifetime of annealed and unannealed ceramic samples was compared. From the spectroscopic properties, it can be seen that the ceramics had a large emission cross section of 2.9 × 10?20 cm2 with a FWHM of about 7.2 nm at 1030 nm. Under 100% population inversion, the maximum gain coefficient was estimated to be 12.4 cm?1 at 1030 nm. With a fiber‐coupled diode laser as pump source, CW laser at 1030 nm was demonstrated and the maximum output power of 338.9 mW was achieved with a slop efficiency of 19%. A tuning range from 1028 to 1036 nm was obtained. 相似文献
Carbon aerogels with various densities, even as low as 20 mg/cm3, were fabricated by pyrolysis of organic aerogels formed by aqueous condensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde. It was found that carbon aerogels with the density below 70 mg/cm3 exhibited the total reflectance values of typically less than 0.24 % across wavelengths in the range of 400–2000 nm. The change of antireflective properties between the lowest-density carbon aerogel monolith and its powder coating was discussed. Furthermore, we studied the effect of the density on the structure and antireflective property of carbon aerogels. As a result, the low-density carbon aerogels showed broadband low-reflectivity and high absorption to incident light. 相似文献
