Denture teeth can be made of acrylic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or composite resins. PMMA is a polymer - a material made the from joining of methyl methacrylate monomers. Properties of PMMA include resistance to abrasion, chemical stability and a high boiling point. (Jun Shen et al. 2011). However, weak flexure and impact strength of PMMA are of concern as they account for denture failure. (Bolayir G, Boztug A and Soygun K. 2013). Composite denture teeth are made of a three distinct phases

In the year 1919, on January 15th, Boston experienced a strange disaster. This said disaster is now known as the Boston Molasses Flood. The disaster occurred when an above-ground tank filled with 26 million pounds of molasses burst and unleashed a wave of molasses from eight to fifty feet high and moving at 35 miles per hour killed people and destroyed buildings in the surrounding neighborhood. After the wave of molasses had slowed down, it settled at two to three feet in depth. Acting like quicksand
Raghu Rai, an Indian photojournalist and photographer, formerly worked with India today (Indian weekly magazine & news television channel) and covered the World’s Worst Industrial Disaster, The Bhopal Gas Tragedy. The picture shown above is captured by Raghu Rai and invades our mind with feart. This gas tragedy occurred in Bhopal’s multinational Union Carbide Corporation's pesticide formulation plant. Around 40 tons menthyl-iso-cyanate gas leaked on 2nd December, 1984 causing instantaneous deaths
with calcium lactate or similar compounds to create spheres of liquid surrounded by a thin jelly membrane.

Introduction: Screwdrivers are very popular among the hand tools which we use in our daily use. But now a days the screwdriver demands hardness and higher torque values for the meeting the requirements and to compete between the manufacturers. For maintaining both torque and hardness in higher level. there are mainly three key factors for the producing the required type of screwdriver : heat treatment, material and machining processing. On the other hand the most famous type of steel used in the
effect was attributed to improved wetting of collagen by the adhesive [21] In the same study Tjaderhane suggested that, a considerably low concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide was shown to reduce dentin bond strength loss after aging. Considering di-methyl sulfoxide properties, higher concentrations might have a positive effect on dentin bonding. [21] Stape et al also found that dentin pre-treatment with low dimethyl sulfoxide concentrations improves long-term bonding at the expense of an extra step
cathode at anode and cathode. 1.8 WHY TO CHOOSE PVDF? Up to present date there are many polymer hosts [1] have been discovered and some examples are Poly(ethelene Oxide)(PEO) Poly(propylene Oxide) (PPO) Poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) Poly(Vinyl chloride) (PVC) Poly(Vinyliden fluoride) (PVdF) Poly(Vinyliden flouride)- Hexa fluoro propylene(PVdF- HFP) All polymer host has some major advantages for which their application in electrochemical devices are still
Synthetic polymers are used by chemist to make many everyday items that we are frequently using without even realising. A common product that the use of synthetic polymers have been introduced to is various types of cosmetics and personal care items. Synthetic polymers are currently being used in cosmetics and questioned whether they are either inevitable or ineffective in their use. Synthetic polymers are already being used in cosmetics this meaning the effects of synthetic polymers must either
Definition: First, let’s know about Conventional hydrogel contact lenses materials. They are polymers. The commonest of these is the first hydrogel material used for contact lens wear, poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) or polyHEMA (HEMA). PolyHEMA is cheap to produce, highly flexible, stable to changes in pH and temperature and has proved to be a very successful contact lens material. The main disadvantage of polyHEMA is that water has limited ability to dissolve and transport oxygen, with
The prediction and mitigation of annular pressure build up in a wellbore during injection and production are recurring challenges in petroleum engineering. The annular pressure build up has been studied continuously over the past decades because the understanding and underlying APB mechanism is essential for developing any mitigation technology. The first step of understanding the APB mechanism is to predict temperature profiles in the wellbores accurately. Almost all practical methods for calculation
5.7. Name the four alloying elements that have the greatest effect on the properties of steels. Boron improves harden ability, without the loss of (or even with some improvement in) mach inability and formability. Calcium deoxidizes steels, improves toughness, and may improve formability and merchantability. Carbon improves harden ability, strength, hardness, and wear resistance; it reduces ductility, weldability, and toughness. Cerium controls the shape of inclusions and improves toughness in
Have you ever wondered why the plastic bag that you left on the porch during winter cracks or breaks more easily than when you left it during summer time but a piece of wood which was left just like the plastic bag has no effect whatsoever? This is because of a phenomenon, which only happens to polymers, known as the glass transition. For each polymer, there is a certain temperature at which the amorphous polymers undergo a second order phase transition from a rubbery and viscous amorphous solid
