Abstract:
The aim of this study was to assess bonding of orthodontic metal brackets to porcelain surfaces using various surface treatment methods. Etching the porcelain with 9.6 percent HF followed by a bonding agent or silane application provided high and acceptable shear bond strengths.

01:12Bonding and Strength of Aggregate
The bond between aggregate particles and the cement matrix is significantly influenced by the shape and surface texture of the aggregates. High-strength concretes benefit from a rougher texture, which leads to stronger bonding due to greater adhesion. Angular aggregates with larger surface areas also enhance this bond. The bonding quality, however, is complex to assess as no universally accepted test exists. Good bonding is indicated when a crushed concrete specimen shows some aggregate...
01:15Brick Durability, Strength, and Appearance
Brick durability, strength, and appearance are crucial factors in construction, influencing the choice of bricks for specific applications. The process of freeze-thaw, for instance, significantly affects brick durability. This phenomenon occurs when water absorbed by a brick expands as it freezes, potentially causing damage when it melts and refreezes. Bricks are graded for durability: SW-grade bricks are the most durable, offering high strength and low water absorption, followed by MW-grade...
