O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a rugosidade superficial de resinas compostas à base silorano e metacrilato submetidas a diferentes técnicas de acabamento/polimento. Foram preparadas 12 amostras de disco de cada resina composta: P90®, Z350® e Carisma, divididas em 12 grupos de acordo com a técnica de acabamento / polimento: sem acabamento / polimento (controle); acabamento com ponta diamantada 1112 FF; acabamento com ponta diamantada 1112 FF associada a Enhance / Pogo; acabamento com ponta diamantada 1112 FF associada a Enhance / Pogo / Polishing / Pastas Poli I e II / Fotogloss. Após as leituras iniciais da rugosidade da superfície, os espécimes foram submetidos a ciclos mecânicos (1.200.000 ciclos) e submetidos imediatamente a leituras de rugosidade final. As medias de rugosidade superfícial foram analisadas estatisticamente por ANOVA e teste de Tukey-Kramer (α = 0,05). As imagens de MEV foram realizadas após o acabamento / polimento e após a ciclagem mecânica. O compósito P90 mostrou valores de rugosidade superficial semelhantes a outros compósitos investigados. Tough, mostrou diferença significativa nas técnicas de acabamento / polimento. O grupo de pontas damantadas apresentou maior rugosidade superficial que diferiu das outras resinas compostas (α <0,05). Enance / Pogo mostrou os menores resultados, que não apresentaram diferença em relação ao grupo de pasta de polimento (α> 0,05). O material restaurador posterior de baixa contração apresentou rugosidade superficial semelhante quando comparado as resinas compostas de dimetacrilato e são restaurações adequadas para região posterior.Palavras-chave: Dente.

Twelve disk specimens were prepared from each composite resin: P90®, Z350® and Charisma, divided into 12 groups according to the finishing/polishing technique: no finishing/polishing (control); finishing with 1112 FF diamond burs; finishing with 1112 FF diamond burs associated to Enhance/Pogo; finishing with 1112 FF diamond burs associated to Enhance/Pogo/Polishing/Poli I and II pastes/Fotogloss. After initial readouts of surface roughness, the specimens were subjected to mechanical cycling (1.200.000 cycles) and immediately subjected to final roughness readouts.  Surface roughness means was statistically analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey-Kramer test (α=0.05). SEM images were realized after finishing/polishing and after mechanical cycling. The P90 composite showed surface roughness values similar to other investigated composites. However, significant difference was observed in finishing/polishing techniques. The diamond burs group showed the highest surface roughness differing from the other composite resins (α < 0.05). Enance/Pogo showed the lowest results, which presented no difference compared to the polishing paste group (α > 0.05). The low-shrink posterior restorative showed similar surface roughness when compared to dimethacrylate composite resins and suitable to posterior restorations. Keywords: Tooth. Silorane Resins.

Grafting Polymerization

Lithium acrylate (LiAA) was applied as a functional monomer to modify the surface properties of polypropylene films via photografting polymerization in a precipitation reaction system. Two-step photografting polymerization technique was adopted with benzophenone (BP) as the photoinitiator and methanol as the solvent. ATR-FITR spectra proved the occurrence of grafting polymerization of LiAA on the substrate. Gravimetric analysis was performed to investigate the influences of some important factors on the photografting polymerization of LiAA. SEM was utilized to investigate the topography of the grafted film. The experimental results indicated that elongation of the irradiation time could increase the grafting yield (Yg) and Yg performed a maximum at a certain concentration of LiAA. SEM images showed that regular particles evenly dispersed on the surface of the grafted film.

Degradation Effect

Huge consumption of polypropylene in the industries like automotive motivates academic and industrial R&Ds to find new and excellent approaches to improve the mechanical properties of this polymer, which has no degradation effect on other required performance properties like impact resistance, controlled crystallinity, toughness and shrinkage. Nowadays, nanoparticles play a key role in improving the mechanical and surface properties of polypropylene. In this study, three compositions of "Polypropylene/nanoclay", containing 0%, 2% and 5% of nanoclay were prepared in internal mixer. For characterizing the nanoclay dispersion in polymer bulk, TEM and XRD tests were used. For scratch resistance test, scratch lines were created on the load of 900 grain on sheets and SEM images were taken and compared with neat PP scratch image. Crystallinity and mechanical behavior were studied. The results showed that mechanical properties and scratch resistance of the composites have been improved.

Several years ago Karasaki (1) reported the production of type C virus particles by Novikoff ascites hepatocarcinoma cells. More recently, Weinstein (2) has reported the presence of type C virus particles in cell cultures derived from transplantable and primary hepatocellular carcinomas. To date, the biological function of these virus and their significance in chemically induced hepatocarcinogenesis are unknown. The present studies were initiated to determine a possible role for type C virus particles in chemically induced hepatocarcinogenesis. This communication describes results of studies on the biological and surface properties of type C virus associated with Novikoff hepatocarcinoma cells.Ecotropic and xenotropic murine leukemia virus (MuLV) activity in ascitic fluid of Novikoff tumor-bearing rats was assayed in murine sarcoma virus transformed S+L- mouse cells and S+L- mink cells, respectively. The presence of sarcoma virus activity was assayed in non-virus-producing normal rat kidney (NRK) cells. Ferritin conjugates of concanavalin A (Fer-Con wheat germ agglutinin (Fer-WGA), and Ricinus communis agglutinins I and II (Fer-RCAI and Fer-RCAII) were used to probe the structure and topography of saccharide determinants present on the viral envelope.

Image Position

On tilting samples in an SEM, the image contrast between two elements, x and y often decreases to zero at θε, which we call the no-contrast angle. At angles above θε the contrast is reversed, θ being the angle between the specimen normal and the incident beam. The available contrast between two elements, x and y, in the SEM can be defined as,(1)where ix and iy are the total number of reflected and secondary electrons, leaving x and y respectively. It can easily be shown that for the element x,(2)where ib is the beam current, isp the specimen absorbed current, δo the secondary emission at normal incidence, k is a constant, and m the reflected electron coefficient.

An important part of condensed matter physics in recent years has involved detailed study of inelastic interactions between swift electrons and condensed matter surfaces. Here we will review some aspects of such interactions.Surface excitations have long been recognized as dominant in determining the exchange-correlation energy of charged particles outside the surface. Properties of surface and bulk polaritons, plasmons and optical phonons in plane-bounded and spherical systems will be discussed from the viewpoint of semiclassical and quantal dielectric theory. Plasmons at interfaces between dissimilar dielectrics and in superlattice configurations will also be considered.

Working Distance

The minimum magnification for which an image can be acquired is determined by the design and implementation of the electron optical column and the scanning and display electronics. It is also a function of the working distance and, possibly, the accelerating voltage. For secondary and backscattered electron images there are usually no other limiting factors. However, for x-ray maps there are further considerations. The energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometers (EDS) have a much larger solid angle of detection that for WDS. They also do not suffer from Bragg’s Law focusing effects which limit the angular range and focusing distance from the diffracting crystal. In practical terms EDS maps can be acquired at the lowest magnification of the SEM, assuming the collimator does not cutoff the x-ray signal. For WDS the focusing properties of the crystal limits the angular range of acceptance of the incident x-radiation. The range is dependent upon the 2d spacing of the crystal, with the acceptance angle increasing with 2d spacing. The natural line width of the x-ray also plays a role. For the metal layered crystals used to diffract soft x-rays, such as Be - O, the minimum magnification is approximately 100X. In the worst case, for the LEF crystal which diffracts Ti - Zn, ˜1000X is the minimum.

Free Cells

In the chick embryo retina (days 3-4 of incubation), coinciding with an increase in cell death, specialized phagocytes characterized by intense acid phosphatase activity have been described. In these preparations, all free cells in the vitreal humor (vitreal cells) were strongly labeled. Conventional TEM and SEM techniques were used to characterize them and attempt to determine their relationship with retinal phagocytes.Two types of vitreal cells were distinguished. The first are located at some distance from the basement membrane of the neuroepithelium, and are rounded, with numerous vacuoles and thin cytoplasmic prolongations. Images of exo- and or endocytosis were frequent; the cells showed a well-developed Golgi apparatus (Fig. 1) In SEM images, the cells was covered with short cellular processes (Fig. 3). Cells lying parallel to or alongside the basement membrane are elongated. The plasma membrane is frequently in intimate contact with the basement membrane. These cells have generally a large cytoplasmic expansion (Fig. 5).

Rock Types

The geometric structure of pore space in some carbonate rocks can be correlated with petrophysical measurements by quantitatively analyzing binaries generated from SEM images. Reservoirs with similar porosities can have markedly different permeabilities. Image analysis identifies which characteristics of a rock are responsible for the permeability differences. Imaging data can explain unusual fluid flow patterns which, in turn, can improve production simulation models.Analytical SchemeOur sample suite consists of 30 Middle East carbonates having porosities ranging from 21 to 28% and permeabilities from 92 to 2153 md. Engineering tests reveal the lack of a consistent (predictable) relationship between porosity and permeability (Fig. 1). Finely polished thin sections were studied petrographically to determine rock texture. The studied thin sections represent four petrographically distinct carbonate rock types ranging from compacted, poorly-sorted, dolomitized, intraclastic grainstones to well-sorted, foraminiferal,ooid, peloidal grainstones. The samples were analyzed for pore structure by a Tracor Northern 5500 IPP 5B/80 image analyzer and a 80386 microprocessor-based imaging system. Between 30 and 50 SEM-generated backscattered electron images (frames) were collected per thin section. Binaries were created from the gray level that represents the pore space. Calculated values were averaged and the data analyzed to determine which geological pore structure characteristics actually affect permeability.
