Abstract

The purposes of this long-term study was to assess the amount of soluble material released by Mineral Trioxide Aggregate to a water medium, to determine if the solubility differences between specimens of various water/powder ratio, as demonstrated in a previous study, would be maintained over time, and to measure the pH of the water that was in contact with the specimens. Specimens were processed at 0.28 and 0.33 water/powder ratios, and immersed in water according to the ISO 6876 standard. The specimens were periodically removed to assess salt content release and reimmersed in fresh water. Assay testing was periodically performed over a 78-day period. Results were expressed as Daily Solubility (solubility rate), and Cumulative Solubility. The mathematical projection from Cumulative Solubility to infinite time showed that MTA could solubilize 22.06% at 0.28 water/powder ratio, and 31.095% at 0.33 water/powder ratio of the specimens' mass in regards to their initial dry weight. MTA did maintain a high pH for an extended period of time under these study conditions.

Layer-by-layer self-assembly aluminum Keggin ions/Prussian blue nanoparticles ultrathin films towards multifunctional sensing applications.

In this study we described the nanocomposites films of specially synthesized inorganic Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles and polyoxocation Al(13) Keggin ions that possess the excellent sensing activities. Film fabrication using layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique was followed by electrochemical characterization. The assembled multilayer Al(13)/PB films as sensor devices for both the catalytic reduction of H(2)O(2) and detecting the change of relative humidity were also investigated. The sensitivity of the biosensor was 0.886 mA cm(-2)mM(-1), and about two orders of magnitude change in resistance was observed as the relative humidity increasing from 5 to 95%. Both sensors exhibited good reproducibility, wide linear range. The performance and multifunctional abilities of these nanocomposites promise potential applications in biosensors, environmental controlling system and biomedical devices.

A new binary compound for the production of 124I via the 124Te(p,n)124I reaction.

The binary compound, aluminum telluride (Al(2)Te(3)), was investigated as a target material for the production of (124)I by way of the (124)Te(p,n)(124)I reaction on a low-energy cyclotron. The high melting point and formation of a glassy matrix upon heating provided a stable target material at irradiations up to 20 microA of 11 MeV protons. The 87% tellurium mass fraction and 95% iodine separation yield led to significantly higher quantities of iodine compared to traditional TeO(2)/6%Al(2)O(3) admixtures. Radiochemical analysis of distilled samples using ion chromatography showed that the product remained in the iodide form while supported in weak buffer solutions. Stable Te impurities in the radioiodine product were less than 0.5 microg following purification by ion exchange chromatography. Average thick target yields of 229+/-18 microCi/microAh were achieved, and typical production runs at 18 microA for three hours yielded 12 mCi at the end-of-bombardment. Total losses of the target material after each irradiation and distillation cycle were approximately 2%.
