A protocol to expose bare fibers on the composite surface by eliminating resin rich area is presented. The fibers are exposed during fabrication of the composites, not by the post surface treatment. The exposed carbon composites exhibit high electrical conductivity in the through-thickness direction and high mechanical property.

Source: Schaeffer, J. W., Chandler, et al. Detection of Viruses from Bioaerosols Using Anion Exchange Resin. J. Vis. Exp. (2018).This video demonstrates the detection of viruses from bioaerosols using an anion exchange resin. A liquid impinger containing the resin is used to capture viruses from the air. The resin is collected and treated with a virus lysis buffer containing carrier RNA. The lysate is transferred to a microcentrifuge tube for viral RNA isolation, followed by qRT-PCR to amplify...
FAQs
Etching modifies enamel or dentin by creating microscopic surface irregularities that increase the area available for retention. On dentin, it can also expose collagen that primers and adhesives must wet and infiltrate. This combination supports formation of a resin-tooth interface, making surface preparation an important chemical and micromechanical step rather than a purely mechanical attachment.
Enamel and dentin present different substrate conditions for adhesion. Dentin may contain exposed collagen, so primer and adhesive infiltration depends strongly on wetting and penetration into that structure. Enamel bonding relies on the etched surface irregularities. Consequently, substrate condition and moisture control can influence how consistently the interfacial layer forms.
Polymerization converts the applied resin system into the interfacial structure that retains the composite against the tooth. It may be initiated by light or by chemical means, depending on the system. Adequate polymerization is therefore central to establishing the bond, while the resulting interface must also withstand degradation over time.
Moisture control, substrate condition, adhesive formulation, and polymerization all affect bond strength and durability. Excess or insufficient moisture can interfere with how materials wet and infiltrate the prepared surface, while an unsuitable substrate or formulation can weaken the interface. Resistance to degradation is also important because the resin-tooth junction must remain functional over time.
A typical sequence begins with preparing the enamel or dentin surface through etching, followed by applying primer and adhesive so they can wet and infiltrate microscopic irregularities or exposed collagen. The resin system is then polymerized using light or chemical initiation before the composite is retained at the tooth surface. Moisture control supports each stage.
Composite resin bonding supports conservative fillings, veneers, sealants, and repairs. These applications use the retained tooth-colored resin composite to restore or modify tooth surfaces while helping preserve tooth structure. The approach also contributes to esthetic treatment because the composite is tooth-colored, making the bonded restoration suitable where appearance is an important consideration.
