The Impact of Distinct Dopant Elements (Cu and Al) on the Electrochemical Characteristics of MgO Thin Films Formed Using the Electrodeposition Technique
Abstract: By using an aqueous electrodeposition technique, copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) doped magnesium oxide (MgO) thin films were created. We examined how the dopant elements affected the electrochemical characteristics of MgO thin films deposited on stainless steel (SS) substrates in the current study. We annealed the MgO-based films at 450◦C. The MgO films doped with Cu and Al have been determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) results. Cyclic voltammetric analyses (CV), …

A Comparative Study of the Structure-Property Relationships in CAD/CAM Milled vs. 3D-Printed High-Performance Polymers: Impact of Molecular Orientation on Abrasive Wear
Abstract: Background: The transition from subtractive to additive manufacturing in prosthetic dentistry has introduced significant variations in the macromolecular architecture of high-performance polymers. While CAD/CAM milling utilizes high-density, industrially polymerized blocks, 3D printing (Additive Manufacturing) relies on layer-by-layer deposition, which may induce anisotropic molecular orientation. This retrospective study investigates how these distinct manufacturing "thermal histories" influence the long-term abrasive wear resistance of PEEK and PEKK restorations.Materials and Methods: Data were retrospectively …

Mechanisms of Crystal Growth: From Spiral Steps to Surface Adhesion
Abstract: Crystal growth is a complex interplay between thermodynamic stability and kinetic processes, influenced heavily by the conditions under which crystallization occurs—particularly the degree of supersaturation. This abstract outline three principal regimes of solution-grown crystal growth: defect-driven, two-dimensional, and adhesive growth. At low supersaturation, growth is facilitated at surface defects, such as screw dislocations, where energy barriers to attachment are minimized. This results in the formation of spiraling steps that propagate …
