Influence of the inter-mediate layer on the metal-ceramics bond strength
Protezy sta艂e wykonane na podbudowie metalowej licowane ceramik膮 stanowi膮 istotn膮 cz臋艣膰 metod uzupe艂nienia brak贸w z臋bowych, jakie s膮 do dyspozycji w dziedzinie protetyki stomatologicznej. Korzystne wyniki leczenia z zastosowaniem protez sta艂ych, wykonanych ze stopu metalu i/lub ceramiki zale偶膮 w du偶ym stopniu od starannie przeprowadzonej diagnostyki uk艂adu stomatognatycznego, a tak偶e od w艂a艣ciwego zaplanowania post臋powania klinicznego i laboratoryjnego. Najlepsze wyniki mo偶na osi膮gn膮膰 tylko wtedy, gdy wybrany materia艂 na protez臋 sta艂膮, a tak偶e spos贸b opracowania z臋ba b臋d膮 zgodne r贸wnie偶 z oczekiwaniami pacjenta. Mimo i偶 rozwi膮zania tego typu s膮 znane od bardzo dawna, nadal ciesz膮 si臋 ogromn膮 popularno艣ci膮 w艣r贸d pacjent贸w. Spowodowane jest to bardzo dobr膮 wytrzyma艂o艣ci膮 oraz odpowiedni膮 estetyk膮, kt贸ra jest bardzo wa偶na dla pacjent贸w. Wysok膮 estetyk臋 uzyskuje si臋 poprzez licowanie konstrukcji podbudowy metalowej ceramik膮 tlenkow膮, kt贸ra niemal identycznie odzwierciedla twarde tkanki z臋ba.W pracy wykorzystano stopy firmy Dentaurum Remanium CSe, na kt贸rych powierzchni臋 zosta艂y na艂o偶one warstwy opaker贸w w postaci proszku i pasty. Na powierzchni臋 stopu na艂o偶ono ceramik臋 firmy Vita Master oraz VM13. Pr贸bki zosta艂y poddane badaniu chropowato艣ci, porowato艣ci oraz przeprowadzono analiz臋 pierwiastk贸w w danym obszarze ceramiki.Przeprowadzone badania wykazuj膮, 偶e warstwa po艣rednia (opakerowa) wp艂ywa na po艂膮czenie stopu z ceramik膮. Najlepsze rezultaty wykazuje gdy porowato艣膰 jest minimalna.Na podstawie wynik贸w nie stwierdzono wp艂ywu rodzaju warstwy po艣redniej na wytrzyma艂o艣膰 po艂膮czenia stopu z ceramik膮. Potwierdzono, 偶e parametr chropowato艣ci istotnie wp艂ywa na wytrzyma艂o艣膰 po艂膮czenia metal-ceramika. Badania morfologiczne wykonane przy u偶yciu mikroskopu skaningowego SEM wykaza艂y, 偶e po wypaleniu zachodz膮 zmiany w st臋偶eniu pierwiastk贸w na granicy ceramika-stop.Fixed alloy and ceramic prostheses constitute an important part of remedies available at the disposal of restorative dentistry. The successful treatment with fixed prostheses made of alloy or ceramics, or a combination of both materials, depends to a large extent on the thorough diagnosis of the masticatory organ, as well as the proper planning of clinical and laboratory procedures. The best results can only be achieved if the material chosen for the permanent prosthesis and the method of developing the tooth is also adjusted to the patient鈥檚 expectations. Although this type of solution has been known for a very long time, it is still very popular among patients. This is due to very good durability and appropriate aesthetics, which is very important for patients. High aesthetics is achieved by veneering the metal framework construction with oxide ceramics that almost identically reflect the hard tooth tissues.In this work, we used the Remanium CSe alloy with layers of powder and paste applied to the surface. The samples were subjected to the roughness, porosity, as well as elemental analysis in a given area of ceramics.The conducted examinations showed that the intermediate (opaque) layer affects the connection of the alloy with ceramics. The best results were achieved when the porosity was minimal. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the type of intermediate layer did not influence the strength of the alloy with ceramics. It was confirmed that the roughness parameter significantly affected the strength of the metal-ceramic bond. Morphological studies via SEM scanning microscopy showed that after firing, changes occurred in the concentration of elements at the ceramic-alloy border

biodegradability. Since, however, the miscibility of native starch with polyethylene is poor,
surface modification of its grains with low temperature methane plasma treatment has been
performed. The filler, modified in this way, exhibits lower hydrophilicity than native starch and
much better dispersion in LDPE matrix. Mechanical strength parameters of such composite
materials are lower than those of pure ethylene, but considerably higher than corresponding data
for LDPE filled with unmodified starch. Microbiological and scanning electron microscopic
(SEM) studies have revealed substantially better biodegradability of modified starch/polyethylene
blends than that of pure polyethylene
Thin SiNC/SiOC Coatings with a Gradient of Refractive Index Deposited from Organosilicon Precursor
In this work, optical coatings with a gradient of the refractive index are described. Its aim was to deposit, using the RF PECVD method, films of variable composition (ranging from silicon carbon-oxide to silicon carbon-nitride) for a smooth change of their optical properties enabling a production of the filter with a refractive index gradient. For that purpose, two organosilicon compounds, namely tetramethyldisilazane and hexamethyldisilazane, were selected as precursor compounds. The results reveal better optical properties of the materials obtained from the latter source. Depending on whether deposited in pure oxygen atmosphere or under conditions of pure nitrogen, the refractive index of the coatings amounted to 1.65 and to 2.22, respectively. By using a variable composition N2/O2 gas mixture, coatings of intermediate magnitudes of “n” were acquired. The optical properties were investigated using both UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry. The chemical structure of the coatings was studied with the help of Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. Finally, atomic force microscopy was applied to examine their surface topography. As the last step, a “cold mirror” type interference filter with a gradient of refractive index was designed and manufactured
Spatial Graphene Structures with Potential for Hydrogen Storage
Spatial graphene is a 3D structure of a 2D material that preserves its main features. Its production can be originated from the water solution of graphene oxide (GO). The main steps of the method include the crosslinking of flakes of graphene via treatment with hydrazine, followed by the reduction of the pillared graphene oxide (pGO) with hydrogen overpressure at 700 掳C, and further decoration with catalytic metal (palladium). Experimental research achieved the formation of reduced pillared graphene oxide (r:pGO), a porous material with a surface area equal to 340 m2/g. The transition from pGO to r:pGO was associated with a 10-fold increase in pore volume and the further reduction of remaining oxides after the action of hydrazine. The open porosity of this material seems ideal for potential applications in the energy industry (for hydrogen storage, in batteries, or in electrochemical and catalytic processes). The hydrogen sorption potential of the spatial graphene-based material decorated with 6 wt.% of palladium reached 0.36 wt.%, over 10 times more than that of pure metal. The potential of this material for industrial use requires further refining of the elaborated procedure, especially concerning the parameters of substrate materials
