Abstract In dentistry, the use of dental fillings is a routine procedure. The use of fillings is a cheap, simple and low-harm dental operation, however, the filling of deep cavities is a difficult task. During this research, three types of fillings were tested: composite fillings bonded directly to the cavity walls, fillings bonded to the cavity walls with a semi-direct method, and composite fillings bonded to the cavity lined with polyethylene fibres. In the course of our examinations, the gaps between the wall of the dental cavity and the dental filling were observed using scanning electron microscopy. The results of these measurements can be used to determine the quality of each type of filling procedure.

Basalt particles have been investigated as a novel additive for the production of glass fibre reinforced composite using sheet moulding compound (SMC) method. Compared to the CaCO3that are widely used as filler in the SMC composite, the resulting composites exhibit improved mechanical properties. The tensile strength increased by approximately 15%, whereas the flexural strength was enhanced by 8% in SMC composites prepared by basalt particles. Examination of the surface morphology and interfacial debonding of the specimens is also performed via scanning electron microscopy. Superior strength properties are observed in the basalt particle-reinforced composites compared to those with the CaCO3fillers.

Abstract This work intends to apprehend and emphasize the contribution of image-processing techniques and computer vision in the treatment of clay-based material known in Meknes region. One of the various characteristics used to describe clay in a qualitative manner is porosity, as it is considered one of the properties that with “kill or cure” effectiveness. For this purpose, we use scanning electron microscopy images, as they are considered the most powerful tool for characterising the quality of the microscopic pore structure of porous materials. We present various existing methods of segmentation, as we are interested only in pore regions. The results show good matching between physical estimation and Voronoi diagram-based porosity estimation.

In the fields of military and civil uses, some special passages exist in many major parts, such as non-linear tubes. The overall performance is usually decided by the surface quality. Abrasive flow machining (AFM) technology can effectively improve the surface quality of the parts. In order to discuss the mechanism and technology of abrasive flow machining nonlinear tube, the nozzle is picked up as the researching object, and the self-designed polishing liquid is employed to make research on the key technological parameters of abrasive flow machining linear tube. Technological parameters’ impact on surface quality of the parts through the nozzle surface topography and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) map is explored. It is experimentally confirmed that abrasive flow machining can significantly improve surface quality of nonlinear runner, and experimental results can provide technical reference to optimizing study of abrasive flow machining theory.

AbstractScanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations have been conducted to determine the influence of selected material on tissue/material bonding. Extracted human teeth were used in this study. Several resin composites were tested as dental fillings. To reveal the structure of the tissue/filling interface, the teeth were cut parallel to the long axis. Bonding quality was determined by direct SEM observation and microanalysis with X-ray energy spectrometry (EDX). The investigated materials show good bonding with enamel.

The morphology and disposition of lattice organs, putative sensory structures in the carapace of cyprids, are described with scanning electron microscopy from six rhizocephalan species representing four of the five families in the suborder Akentrogonida: Clistosaccus paguri and Sylon hippolytes (Clistosaccidae), Arcturosaccus kussakini (Duplorbidae), Mycetomorpha vancouverensis (Mycetomorphidae), and Diplothylacus sinensis and Thylacoplethus reinhardi (Thompsoniidae). The disposition of pores and setae on the cyprid carapace is also surveyed. In T. reinhardi, poor quality of the specimens allowed only confirmation that lattice organs are present. Cyprids of all other species except M. vancouverensis have two anterior and three posterior pairs of lattice organs on the carapace, just as in almost all other Cirripedia. Cyprids of C. paguri and S. hippolytes are nearly identical in both general shape, carapace setation, and morphology of the lattice organs. In both species the lattice organs are oval–circular pore fields, except the second pair which is very elongate and match-shaped, a morphology unique to the Clistosaccidae. The similarities in cyprid morphology are interpreted as apomorphies supporting the monophyly of the recently rediagnosed Clistosaccidae. Both thompsoniid species have oval–circular lattice organs, indicating a possible sister-group relationship between the Clistosaccidae and the Thompsoniidae. None of the lattice organs of A. kussakini are oval or match-shaped. In M. vancouverensis there is only a single anterior pair of lattice organs, a probable autapomorphy. But the morphology of the M. vancouverensis cyprid is otherwise very reminiscent of those in the Rhizocephala suborder Kentrogonida, such as in being ornamented with numerous (> 100) carapace setae in no fixed pattern compared with the few (< 80) setae in a fixed disposition seen in the other akentrogonids. In cyprids of all Akentrogonida examined, the lattice organs lack a large terminal pore. By out-group comparison with all other cirripedes and with the Ascothoracida, this is regarded as an apomorphy that supports the monophyly of the Akentrogonida.

Star-like CuO with submicrometer sizes was fabricated via a simple liquid-phase deposition with the assistant of PVP and Na2MoO4. The as-prepared CuO have been characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the as-prepared CuO owned monoclinic structure, the concentrations of PVP, Na2MoO4 and NaOH are very important to the morphology of CuO. The quality of PVP impacts the formation of thin flakes on the skeletons. Meanwhile, the growth of dendritic skeletons was depended on the addition of Na2MoO4, and the effect of NaOH is to control the dimension of CuO structure.

Alkaline earth metal silicates as well as many polyvalent metals silicates can be obtained through aqueous solutions reactions between an alkaline silicate solution and the solutions of metal salts. The vitrifiation of the oxide compositions, established by the necessary molar ratios for the projected glass, is realised by calculating the concentration of chemical precursors, through their reaction directly on the substrate. The sodium silicate viscosity in aqueous solution and the viscosity of nitrogenated compounds or oxalates necessary in the silicates synthesis is compatible with the necessary viscosity for ink-jet cartridges. The necessary silicates forming reactions were studied directly on the deposition support, so that the functional characteristics of the multicompartment ink-jet cartridges were used. Compositions were realised, in which the colouring effect was obtained with ionic colorants. The vitrifiation and the quality of the obtained thin films were studied through Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy.

The research of the metal-ceramic bond and the evaluation of its quality is possible through indirect non-destructive methods, which conclusively complete the mechanical tests to measure the shear resistance. The quality of the restorations in which the chemical adhesion is the mechanism with defining role on the nature of the metal-ceramic bond is achieved mainly by the appearance of an oxide layer formed by the elements in the composition of the alloys. The oxide layer ensures the oxygen bridges, the diffusion of the metal ions into the ceramic mass, the creation of the necessary conditions for the chemical reactions at the metal-ceramic interface. However, the thickness of the oxide layer is an important parameter, which controls the quality of the resistance of the metal-ceramic bond. The analysis of the interface area by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the EDS analysis allowed the examination of both components and provided information on the type of rupture when the ceramic was removed from the metallic substrate, the compositional nature in the interface area, the presence of the oxide layer and of its characteristics. The experimental results obtained confirm some results from the literature on the behavior of the noble alloys as substrates in the metal-ceramic restorations.
