In the present study, a simple method of regenerating microstructure of human tooth under near-physiological conditions (pH 7.0, 37 °C, 1 atm) was developed. Commercial gelatin was used as matrix materials in this method, which nucleated the formation of fluorapatite (FA) nanocrystals and regulated the growth of nanocrystals. As a result, the resulting thin FA coatings had been prepared on human tooth slices and sintered hydroxyapatite disks, which were in tight contact with the substrates. Besides, the morphologies of FA nanocrystals changed from acicular to hexagonal with the exchange cycle of gel increased. Electron dispersive spectrometer analysis indicated that some sodium and carbonate ions were incorporated into the FA crystal lattices and the calcium to phosphorus ratio was approximate 1.58. The mechanical properties of the resulting FA coating were investigated through nanoindentation system, which showed the similar hardness with dentin. In conclusion, this method demonstrated a potential application to repair tooth damage in dental clinics.
Micro-strip line is a kind of transmission line that is the most widely used in microwave integrated circuit. With the development of microwave integrated circuits and the increasing work frequency of the micro-strip line, a higher requirement for its electromagnetic compatibility has been raised. Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method has characteristics of good adaptability in the analysis of electromagnetic compatibility issues and superiority in complexity of the structure modeling. For these reasons, this Article uses FDTD method which is widely used in electromagnetic field calculation to analyze the time-domain of micro-strip line, calculates its current and voltage induced in ports and discuss the response feature under different radiation conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
