To evaluate the mode I fracture energy of adhesively bonded joints, DCB tests have been standardized under the quasi-static loading condition. Additionally, several tests have been proposed to evaluate the impact resistance of the joints.

Silica, polystyrene, and poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres were deposited on <i>cis</i>-1,4-polybutadiene (BR) films. A BR meniscus formed on the sphere surfaces when the film thickness was less than the diameters of the spheres. Additionally, the attractive forces acting on the spheres in the direction of the BR films were examined via atomic force microscopy. Sedimentation of the spheres occurred for films with thicknesses much greater than the diameters of the microspheres in all systems. Interestingly, this wetting process occurred even in the silica/BR system, despite the incompatibility of these materials. The driving force for meniscus formation is the difference between the surface free energy of BR (<i>γ</i>\u0000 <sub>BR</sub>) and that of the spheres (<i>γ</i>\u0000 <sub>sphere</sub>). For all systems, <i>γ</i>\u0000 <sub>BR</sub> is lower than <i>γ</i>\u0000 <sub>sphere</sub>, i.e., the BR surface is more stable than those of the spheres, and thus a meniscus forms to stabilize the system. Once a meniscus formed, a downward force acted on the spheres to embed them into the BR film. Sedimentation eventually ceased when the angle between the tangential line of the sphere and the rubber surface became equal to the equilibrium contact angle determined by Young’s equation. Interestingly, the sedimentation behavior was nearly identical for spheres with various surface free energy values except in terms of their final positions. The same sedimentation phenomena were studied with crosslinked BR films. In contrast to the experiments performed using various types of spheres, the sedimentation behavior varied with different rubber characteristics. The results of these studies indicate that the sedimentation behavior mainly depends on the physical properties of the rubbers used, although the physical properties of the spheres are in determining their final depth.</p>","PeriodicalId":464,"journal":{"name":"Applied Adhesion Science","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.68,"publicationDate":"2017-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1186/s40563-017-0084-x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4244815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CLBA 2016 was chaired by both of us and was co-organized by the Brazilian Association of Adhesion and Adhesives (ABAA) and the Portuguese Association of Adhesion and Adhesives (APAA). The goal of the conference was to join the Portuguese and Brazilian communities to discuss issues related to adhesive bonding research lately developed in both countries. Approximately 60 papers were presented by researchers from many universities and research centers. In order to disseminate the work presented at CLBA 2016, selected papers were prepared which resulted in the present Special Issue. Four papers deal with adhesive dentistry aspects. They were presented by colleagues from the Brazilian dental materials community. Lopes et al. evaluated the influence of the previous use of eugenol based materials to a permanent restoration on the marginal microleakage. They also investigated the influence of mechanical cleansing associated with chemical cleansing with chlorhexidine gel. It was found that eugenol, when associated with endodontic or temporary restorative material, has no influence on the microleakage of the definitive composite resin restoration. The study presented by Da Silva et al. evaluated the shear bond strength of three different composite resins to fiber posts surfaces. The influence the adhesive used as pretreatment was also investigated. The authors concluded that the use of silorane based composite resins to customize posts requires the use of adhesive as surface pretreatment. Schwertner et al. evaluated the effect of green tea on the shear bond strength of metal orthodontic brackets to human enamel after home whitening treatment. They concluded that green tea is an alternative treatment to allow bracket bonding immediately after home whitening treatment. Another study on the shear bond strength of brackets to enamel was presented by Guiraldo et al. The objective of the study was to evaluate the enamel roughness and shear bond strength of dental composite after removal of metal brackets bonded with different adhesives. The shear bond test results shown that the 4 adhesives produced adequate bond strength, however the enamel did not return to the initial conditions.
