摘要:
A substantially radiation absorbing layer of metal having a microstructured surface characterized by a plurality of randomly positioned discrete protuberances of varying heights and shapes, which protuberances have a height of not less than 20 nanometers nor more than 1500 nm, and the bases of which contact the bases of substantially all adjacent protuberances is disclosed. The metal layer, which may be a coating on a variety of substrates, is useful as a radiation absorber (particularly solar). A method is disclosed for producing such layers.

摘要:
Orthodontic adhesives and packaged articles including an orthodontic appliance having a base for bonding the appliance to a tooth are disclosed. In the packaged articles, an adhesive is on the base of the appliance, and a container at least partially surrounds the orthodontic appliance having adhesive on the base thereof.
摘要:
A multiple-part dental adhesive primer composition is provided in at least two parts, A and B. Part A comprises an acidic polymerizable compound and a polymerizable diluent. This part is selected such that if water is present the pH of Part A is greater than about 2. Part B comprises an acidic material such that the pH of Part B is below about 2. Methods of bonding substrates are also described.
摘要:
Dental materials are provided comprising Component i), which is a hydrogen bondable compound that is a polymer having a molecular weight greater than about 10,000, and Component ii), which is a hydrogen bondable bridging compound. One of Components i) and ii) contains 2 or more hydrogen-bond donor sites per compound, and the other of Components i) or ii) contains 2 or more hydrogen-bond acceptor sites per compound, which hydrogen-bond acceptor sites are not capable of also acting as hydrogen-bond donor sites. Components i) and ii) are present in an amount sufficient to exhibit at least 10% higher Relative Viscosity, and optionally at least one of i) or ii) is polymerizable. If the material contains any compounds having only one hydrogen-bond donor site or hydrogen-bond acceptor site per compound, the ratio of hydrogen-bond donor sites on compounds having only one hydrogen-bond donor site to hydrogen-bond donor sites on compounds having 2 or more hydrogen-bond donor sites per compound is less than 0.25, and the ratio of hydrogen-bond acceptor sites on compounds having only one hydrogen-bond acceptor site to hydrogen-bond acceptor sites on compounds having 2 or more hydrogen-bond acceptor sites per compound is less than 0.25.
