properties of adhesion, roughness, and hardness of dental liners obtained in the last ten …

The biomedical applications of silicones are countless due to their outstanding properties. In
dentistry, silicone for maxillofacial and plastic surgery has become indispensable, from both …

The search for a piezoelectric elastomer that generates an electrical signal when pressed
and stretched has increased significantly in the last decade as they hold great promise in …

The dielectric permittivity (ε′) of a polymeric material can be significantly increased when
blended with conductive fillers at concentrations approaching the percolation threshold …

Conductive inks consisting of graphene and carbon black conductive fillers into a
polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix, which can be processed into thin films by screen …

A high molecular weight polydimethylsiloxane-α, ω-diol, synthesized in the lab, was used as
a matrix for nanocomposites. Barium titanate nanoparticles, either cubic or nanorods, were …

Titanium dioxide-based nanoparticles with nanotube morphology were synthesised and
used in low fractions (2 and 5 wt%) as dielectric permittivity enhancers for high molecular …

Regardless the etiology, location, extent or topography, edentation is a pathological entity
that, through evolution and complications, causes serious imbalances in the stomatognathic …

A new class of elastomers that simultaneously shows sensing, actuation and energy
conversion functionalities is synthesized to meet the current requirements for electroactive …

New all-silicone composite materials were prepared using polar silicone particles dispersed
within a high molecular weight polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix. Polar silicones with …
