Evaluation of colour stability, water sorption and solubility of no-cap flowable bulk fill resin composites by Merve Kütük Ömeroğlu, Hüseyin Can Hekimoğlu

“…Conclusion The water absorption, solubility and discolouration values of the resin composites used in this study were affected by the amount of filler in the resin structure. The clinical applicability of low-viscosity bulk-fill resin composites that do not require an additional capping layer should be carefully reassessed.…”

Highly Selective Deethylation of Rhodamine B on Prepared in Supercritical Fluids by Yuzun Fan, Guoping Chen, Dongmei Li, Yanhong Luo, Nina Lock, Anca Paduraru Jensen, Aref Mamakhel, Jianli Mi, Steen B. Iversen, Qingbo Meng, Bo B. Iversen

“…Moreover, the photodegradation of RhB on the as-prepared TiO2 follows a different process from that on P25 TiO2, quicker N-deethylation and slower cleavage of conjugated chromophore structure. Based on PXRD, TEM, and BET measurements, these two photodegradation properties have been explained by the physicochemical properties of TiO2.…”
