Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of riboflavin-sensitized crosslinking on the bond strength between dentin and dental resin composite. The results showed that the different application methods of riboflavin significantly influenced bond strength, with a significant advantage for the riboflavin group compared to the riboflavin-incorporated primer group. This advantage is attributed to the pH-/solvent-dependent efficiency of riboflavin-sensitized crosslinking. The study provides an application protocol for riboflavin-sensitized crosslinking and suggests that it can improve the longevity of adhesive restorations in clinical settings with some adjustments.

Summary: The adhesion force evolution of proteins on surfaces with continuously varied hydrophobicity/hydration layer was studied using chemical force spectroscopy with AFM. The adhesion force increased non-monotonically with surface hydrophobicity in water, driven by hydrophobic attraction, with a key influence from humic acid concentration.

Summary: This study introduced graphene quantum dots (GQDs) reinforced by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) to modify the resin-dentin bond interfaces, improving their durability and stability. The results showed that GQDs could inhibit collagenase activity, and when combined with EDC, they cross-linked collagen via covalent bonds, enhancing the anti-enzymatic hydrolysis of collagen.

Summary: Cadherin EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptors (CELSR) cadherins and adhesion G-protein-coupled receptors are crucial for cell-cell adhesion and the establishment of planar cell polarity. This study investigated the binding mode of CELSR cadherins and found that the trans-dimer of CELSR cadherin is the essential adhesive unit between cells. The analysis results also showed that EC1-EC8 overlap and twist to form antiparallel dimer conformations, and the binding of EC1-EC4 is sufficient for bead aggregation.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of proanthocyanidins (PA), myricetin, resveratrol, and kaempferol on dentin collagen modification and MMP activity inhibition, as well as their contributions to biomimetic remineralization and resin-dentin bonding performance. The results showed that these four polyphenols can modify dentin collagen, inhibit MMP activity, promote biomimetic remineralization, and improve resin-dentin bond durability.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of methacrylate-functionalized proanthocyanidins (MAPAs) on dentin collagen's bio-stabilization and crosslinking capability. Three MAPAs were synthesized and structurally characterized, showing different effectiveness in collagen stabilization and crosslinking. MAPA-1 and MAPA-2 demonstrated higher collagen stability, while MAPA-3 showed compromised efficacy, indicating the importance of appropriate MA:PA ratios. These new polymerizable crosslinkers have the potential to improve dentin bonding longevity when included in adhesives.

Summary: Aging has a profound impact on the biology and function of human teeth. The stiffness of root dentin increases with age, but its ability to dissipate energy during deformation does not decay. The damping factor of the organic matrix deteriorates with age. Altered matrix-mineral interactions and changes in glycosaminoglycans may counteract the negative effects of aging on the structural components of the extracellular matrix.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: Understanding the interactions between polymers and surfactants is crucial for optimizing commercial systems. This study tested the behavior of polymer-surfactant systems, revealing that they do not behave like polyelectrolytes in the presence of salt.

Summary: This research developed an effective approach to enhance the charging rates of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) by strategically incorporating carbon nanotube (CNT) conductivity boosters into Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) electrodes. Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
