Slurry dipping is a simple and popular method of producing porous and interconnected foams using a metallic slurry. The advantage of the network-like metal foams is it exhibits a natural bone-like structure which enables ingrowth of bone cells and blood vessels. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of using difference composition and scaffold to produce Cobalt Chromium Molybdenum (CoCrMo) foams. The CoCrMo slurry was prepared by using different composition of CoCrMo powder which was 60wt%, 65wt% and 70wt%. Also two different types of scaffold were used in this study. The CoCrMo slurry was produced by mixing CoCrMo powder with Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), Carboxyl Methyl Cellulose (CMC) and distilled water. Then, polyurathane foam template was dipped in CoCrMo slurry and dried at room temperature. Sintering process was running by vacuum furnace at high temperature, 1200°C. The CoCrMo foam was characterized by using a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis. The physical properties of CoCrMo foam was analyzed by porosity and bulk density test that was Archimedes method. From the study it was expected that the composition of metallic slurry play important roles to produce a CoCrMo foam. In order to orthopaedics application to apply in cancellous bone, highest value of porosity from PU foams type (a) was most suitable result to use. This is due to the value of porosity that generate that was 65.2%.

Cobalt Chromium Molybdenum (CoCrMo) is a metal that are widely used in the biomedical field of orthopedic applications. CoCrMo foam was developed in the form of a porous structure where it has a high porosity on the surface with the different pore sizes and shapes. This research is intended to produce CoCrMo foam by using slurry method and to study the effect of composition and sintering temperature on the metal foams. The slurry of CoCrMo was prepared by mixing the binder materials of Methylcellulose (CMC), Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and distilled water for an hour. Followed by mixing and stirring the CoCrMo powder for another 1 hour until it becomes slurries. Polyurethane (PU) foam was then impregnated into the slurry and dried for a day in the oven with 60 °C. Sintering process is carried out at temperature of 1000 °C, 1100 °C and 1200 °C using a tube furnace. Then sample of CoCrMo foam was going through a shrinkage measurement, microstructure analysis by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), analysis of element by using Energy Diffraction X-ray (EDX) and also the density and porosity test by using Archimedes method. The sample with the composition of 65wt% was the best result in this experiment. While sintering temperature of 1200 °C produced the highest number of porosities.

Metal foams are widely produced by using different techniques such as compaction and replication method. In this study, slurry method also known as replication method has been used to produce SS316L foams. SS316L powders (50wt% and 60wt%) were mixed with the binders and distilled water by using mechanical stirrer. Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and Carboxyl Methyl Cellulose (CMC) were used as binders. Polyurethane (PU) foam was used as scaffold and dipped into SS316L slurry then dried in room temperature for 24 hours. Sintering process has been done in two different temperatures which were 1200°C and 1300°C in vacuum furnace. The morphological study was performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX). The SEM micrograph showed that the cells were interconnected and the structures become denser as the sintering temperature increase. The average pores size is ranging from 252.8 μm-353.8 μm, while strut size ranging from 50.2 μm-79.9 μm based on SEM micrograph analysis. The elemental analysis from EDX showed the element presence in the SS316L foam remain from SS316L powder which are Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Molybdenum (Mo), Cooper (Cu), Nitrogen (N2), Sulphur (S) and Silicon (Si). Higher sintering temperature contributes better grain growth between particles where the point-contact between the particles expanded and disappear the small pores.

Biopolyols were obtained from liquefaction of sugarcane bagasse and rice husk. Acid and hydroxyl numbers were determined for estimating the polyol value of the liquid products. These prepared biopolyols were mixed with the commercial polyol for the preparation of polyurethane foam (PU). To study the effects of biopolyol on properties of PU foam, various ratios of biopolyol to commercial polyol were used. It was observed that the density and foaming time of the PU foam increases with the increase in biopolyol content. The calculated Isocyanate index showed that sugarcane bagasse polyol can be used to make flexible foam and that rice husk can be used to make rigid foam. Foaming times and full rise times increased with increase in the biopolyol content. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of prepared foams showed the characteristic peaks related to PU foam. The morphological studies were carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Thermal conductivity tests proved that the synthesized PU foams can be used as insulating materials. Further, PU foams were also prepared with the incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the polyol. The densities, thermal conductivities and SEM analysis of PU foams with and without carbon nanotubes were compared.

The development of composite materials is subject to the desire to overcome polymerization shrinkage and generated polymerization stress. An indicator characterizing the properties of restorative materials, with specific importance for preventing secondary caries, is the integrity and durability of marginal sealing. It is a reflection of the effects of polymerization shrinkage and generated stress. The present study aimed to evaluate and correlate marginal integrity and micropermeability in second-class cavities restored with three different types of composites, representing different strategies to reduce polymerization shrinkage and stress: nanocomposite, silorane, and bulk-fill composite after a ten-month ageing period. Thirty standardized class ΙΙ cavities were prepared on extracted human molars. Gingival margins were 1 mm apical to the cementoenamel junction. Cavities were randomly divided into three groups, based on the composites used: FiltekUltimate-nanocomposite; Filtek Silorane LS-silorane; SonicFill-bulk-fill composite. All specimens were subjected to thermal cycles after that, dipped in saline for 10-mounds. After ageing, samples were immersed in a 2% methylene blue. Thus prepared, they were covered directly with gold and analyzed on SEM for assessment of marginal seal. When the SEM analysis was completed, the teeth were included into epoxy blocks and cut longitudinally on three slices for each cavity. An assessment of microleakage on stereomicroscope followed. Results were statistically analyzed. For marginal seal evaluation: F.Ultimate and F.Silorane differ statistically with more excellent results than SonicFill for marginal adaptation to the gingival margin, located entirely in the dentin. For microleakage evaluation: F.Ultimate and F.Silorane differ statistically with less microleakage than SonicFill. Based on the results obtained: a strong correlation is found between excellent results for marginal adaptation to the marginal gingival ridge and micropermeability at the direction to the axial wall. We observe a more significant influence of time at the gingival margin of the cavities. There is a significant increase in the presence of marginal fissures (p = 0.001). A significant impact of time (p < 0.000) and of the material (p < 0.000) was found in the analysis of the microleakage.
