Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Metallic Solids02:37

Metallic Solids

20.6K
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability....

Structures of Solids

17.7K
Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...

Contact Angle01:13

Contact Angle

19.3K
When a solid is dipped inside a liquid, the liquid surface becomes curved near the contact. For some solid–liquid interfaces, the liquid is pulled up along the solid, while for others, the liquid surface is convex or depressed near the solid surface. This phenomenon can be explained using the concept of cohesive and adhesive forces.
The adhesive force is the molecular force between molecules of different materials, that is, between the molecules of the solid and the liquid. The cohesive...

Molecular and Ionic Solids02:54

Molecular and Ionic Solids

20.0K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

994
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Growing demand for facial aesthetics and anti-aging solutions.
  • Increasing interest in surgical procedures to enhance facial appearance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate outcomes of bilateral silicone implants for mandibular angle augmentation.
  • Assess complication rates and patient satisfaction following the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective analysis of 58 patients (56 females, 2 males) undergoing mandibular angle augmentation.
  • Data collected via patient interviews and records over a 1-year period.
  • Follow-up of 6 months post-surgery to assess implant displacement, infection, and satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • Out of 116 implants, 96 (82.8%) were intact without complications.
  • Infection rate was 4.3% (5 implants).
  • Implant displacement occurred in 13.8% (16 implants).
  • Only 6% (3 patients) without complications reported dissatisfaction with facial appearance.

Conclusions:

  • Solid silicone implants for mandibular angle augmentation are associated with low rates of postoperative infection and displacement.
  • The procedure yields high patient satisfaction regarding aesthetic outcomes.
