    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods for creating opalescence in dental materials and restorations, compositions used in such methods, and the resultant dental materials and restorations. More particularly, the opalescence may be created by directly embedding opalescent particles into a matrix material. In some embodiments, photonic crystals are embedded in the dental material to achieve the opalescent effect. Photonic crystal particles may be embedded in dental materials matrices such as ceramics, composites, and polymers, and can generate opalescence in the materials. Some embodiments disclose compositions for applying the opalescence to a dental restoration.

    摘要: The present invention discloses biodegradable glass based on an amino acid, a peptide and a derivative, as well as the preparation method and use thereof. The main raw material of the glass is one or more of an amino acid, a peptide, a derivative or salt thereof. Compared with traditional glass, the glass of the present invention has significant advantages such as high biocompatibility, biodegradability, being 3D printable, and being compostable, etc., and its preparation process is simple and green, which can effectively avoid the influence of the traditional glass on the ecological environment. The glass of the present invention has a wide range of applications in the fields such as medicine, building material, chemical industry, food, electronics, national defense, etc., including but not limited to tissue engineering, tooth/bone repair, drug sustained-release, cell/protein sequestration, optical fiber communication, coatings, precision instruments, etc.
