Its surface structure influences the mechanical properties of a material. The restoration material that has been modified a lot is Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC), one of which is by adding nano chitosan. The source of nano chitosan can be derived from the exoskeleton of the rhinoceros beetle (Xylotrupes gideon). Rhinoceros beetle has a chitin content of 47%. This study aims to analyse the surface morphology of the glass ionomer cement with the modification of the addition of nano chitosan of rhinoceros beetle. Methods: This type of research was an experimental laboratory. The sample was cylindrical with 6 mm (height) × 4 mm (diameter). The sampling used was a purposive sampling technique. The minimum number of samples was one sample for each group, namely group (A) conventional (control) GIC, (B) modified GIC 10% vol/vol nanochitosan solution, (C) GIC modified 5% vol/vol nanochitosan solution, (D) GIC modification of 10% weight/weight of nanochitosan powder, and (E) modified GIC of 5% weight/weight of nanochitosan powder. Samples that have been made were stored in an incubator at 37°C. Characterisation of the surface morphology of the sample using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Results: SEM characterisation showed variations of cracks on the surface of the samples examined at 2000x and 3500x magnification. GIC modified nano chitosan powder showed more cracks on the surface, and an increase in the ratio of rhinoceros beetle nano chitosan showed an increase in cracks in the surface morphology of the GIC. Conclusions: The addition of nano chitosan of rhinoceros beetle to the GIC resulted in changes in the surface morphology.Keywords: Glass ionomer cement; rhinoceros beetle; scanning electron microscopy

An experimental technique was developed to examine the adhesion of a strain of Streptococcus mutans to the surface of discs of selected orthodontic bonding composites and a glass ionomer cement. Colonization by the bacterium was assessed by weight gain and scanning electron microscopy. Initial colonization occurred after about 3 days, and the specimens were usually completely covered by the fourth day. There were statistically significant differences between materials for weight gain, a strong correlation between weight gain and surface free energy of the materials measured as droplet contact angle (r = −0·9) and a moderate correlation between weight gain and surface roughness (r = 0·6).

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare compressive strength and its correlation with the surface morphology and chemical elements of GIC and Giomer, as well as to determine the fluoride amount effect on the bacterial biofilm formation of GIC and Giomer. Background: The liability of Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) mechanical properties is overcome with better antibacterial properties among restorative materials. Another fluoride-releasing restorative material, such as Giomer, has been discovered and is expected to overcome the issues with GIC’s mechanical properties; however, no research has been conducted related to antibacterial properties in Giomer. Objective: To compare compressive strength and its correlation with the surface morphology and chemical elements, then determine the fluoride amount effect on the bacterial biofilm formation of GIC and Giomer. Methods: Sixteen specimens of GIC and Giomer were prepared for a compressive strength measurement with the Universal Testing Machine. Sixteen specimens of GIC and Giomer were incubated for three days with the Streptococcus mutans culture at 37°C. The bacterial colonization was calculated using the Colony Forming Unit (CFU) and bacterial adhesion was calculated using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The mechanical properties’ compressive strength measurement, surface morphology, and chemical elements analyses were performed using SEM-EDX. Results: The compressive strength of Giomer was higher than GIC (P=0.001). The higher compressive strength of Giomer was reflected by a predominant regular surface, fewer voids, smaller and denser particles, and a higher content of silica and carbon. The bacterial biofilm on the surface of Giomer was higher than GIC, although there was no significant difference. GIC and Giomer have identical chemical elements: C, O, F, Na, Al, Si, P, and Ca. Conclusion: The compressive strength of Giomer is better than GIC; however, the biofilm formation of Giomer is higher than GIC, whereas GIC has a higher fluoride content but inferior in surfaces morphology characteristic

ABSTRACT Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are restorative materials, which clinical use has increased significantly during the last decade. The aim of the present study was to analyze the chemical constitution and surface morphology of four glass ionomer cements: Maxxion R, VitroFill, Vidrion R and Vitremer. Twelve polyethylene tubes with an internal diameter of 3 and 3 mm in length were prepared, filled and then transferred to a chamber with 95% relative humidity and a temperature of 37°C. The surface morphology of the tested materials was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and main components were investigated by energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX). Scanning electron microscopy revealed irregular and rough external surface. Cracking was not observed. The main constituents were found to be aluminum, silicon, calcium, sodium and fluoride. Phosphorus, sulfur and barium were only observed in Vidrion R, while chlorine were only observed in Maxxion R. Elemental mapping of the outer surface revealed high concentration of aluminum and silicon. Significant irregularities on the surface of the tested materials were observed. The chemical constitution of all GIC was similar. How to cite this article Guedes OA, Borges ÁH, Bandeca MC, Nakatani MK, de Araújo Estrela CR, de Alencar AHG, Estrela C.

The aromatic polyamides form a class of fibers having mechanical properties which are much better than those of aliphatic polyamides. Currently, the accepted morphology of these fibers as proposed by M.G. Dobb, et al. is a radial arrangement of pleated sheets, with the plane of the pleats parallel to the axis of the fiber. We have recently obtained evidence which supports a different morphology of this type of fiber, using ultramicrotomy and ion-thinning techniques to prepare specimens for transmission and scanning electron microscopy.

Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most suitable materials for 3D printing. Blending with nanoparticles improves some of its properties, broadening its application possibilities. The article presents a study of composite PLA matrix filaments with added unmodified and lignin/polymerised lignin surface-modified nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC). The influence of untreated and surface-modified NFC on morphological, mechanical, technological, infrared spectroscopic, and dynamic mechanical properties was evaluated for different groups of samples. As determined by the stereo and scanning electron microscopy, the unmodified and surface-modified NFCs with lignin and polymerised lignin were present in the form of plate-shaped agglomerates. The addition of NFC slightly reduced the filaments’ tensile strength, stretchability, and ability to absorb energy, while in contrast, the initial modulus slightly improved. By adding NFC to the PLA matrix, the bending storage modulus (E’) decreased slightly at lower temperatures, especially in the PLA samples with 3 wt% and 5 wt% NFC. When NFC was modified with lignin and polymerised lignin, an increase in E’ was noticed, especially in the glassy state.

In this work, a mechanically durable anticorrosion superhydrophobic coating is developed using a nanocomposite coating solution composed of silica nanoparticles and epoxy resin. The nanocomposite coating developed was tested for its superhydrophobic behavior using goniometry; surface morphology using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy; elemental composition using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy; corrosion resistance using atomic force microscopy; and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The nanocomposite coating possesses hierarchical micro/nanostructures, according to the scanning electron microscopy images, and the presence of such structures was further confirmed by the atomic force microscopy images. The developed nanocomposite coating was found to be highly superhydrophobic as well as corrosion resistant, according to the results from static contact angle measurement and potentiodynamic polarization measurement, respectively. The abrasion resistance and mechanical durability of the nanocomposite coating were studied by abrasion tests, and the mechanical properties such as reduced modulus and Berkovich hardness were evaluated with the aid of nanoindentation tests.
