Comparison of Bond Strengths of Nano and Microhybrid Flowable Composites for Orthodontic Bonding: An Invitro Study
Abstract: Introduction: When the orthodontic brackets are bonded to the etched enamel, the ideal orthodontic adhesive should have optimal bond strength and be able to withstand masticatory forces as well as orthodontic forces. At the same time, when the treatment is completed, the bracket should debond without causing any damage to the enamel. There have been many recent advances in composites in general and their applications in orthodontic use is questionable. …

A Survey of Haptic Feedback Integration in Mobile Devices
Abstract: “HAPTICS is a technique that gives virtual environments a tactile element. With haptic interfaces, we may create the impression that we are feeling surfaces, manipulating virtual clay, or moving objects around on a computer in addition to seeing them. Because touch is the brain's most powerful learning mechanism—more so than sight or sound—the new technology has enormous potential for use in education. Using haptic technology is similar to using a …

Metal corrosion prevention control with uses of sol-gel coatings
Abstract: The potential for sol-gel generated films to replace methods for pre-treating metal surfaces with chromate is very high. Metallic and organic paint can be painted on with good adherence thanks to inorganic sol-gel generated coatings. Their significant crack-forming propensity prevents them from offering appropriate corrosion protection. A thicker, more flexible, functionalized film is produced with improved compatibility to various organic top coatings when an organic component is added to an …
