Solvent bonding is a simple and versatile method for fabricating thermoplastic microfluidic devices with high quality bonds. We describe a protocol to achieve strong, optically clear bonds in PMMA and COP microfluidic devices that preserve microfeature details, by a judicious combination of pressure, temperature, an appropriate solvent, and device geometry.

Removable poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) dentures are prone to bacterial adherence and plaque formation. Denture plaque-associated infection is a source of serious dental and medical complications in the elderly. This paper introduces a novel protocol to treat PMMA dentures with 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine polymer, poly(MPC-co-BMA-co-MPAz), to suppress plaque deposition on PMMA dentures.

We present a method to control the interfacial energy of a liquid metal in an electrolyte via electrochemical deposition (or removal) of a surface oxide layer. This simple method can control the capillary behavior of gallium-based liquid metals by tuning the interfacial energy rapidly, significantly, and reversibly using modest voltages.

Surface Tension and Surface Energy

2023
When a paint brush is immersed in water, the bristles wave freely inside the water. When it is taken out, the bristles stick together. The reason behind this effect is surface tension. Consider a beaker filled with liquid. The bulk molecules in the liquid experience equal attractive forces on all sides with the surrounding molecules. However, the surface molecules experience a net attractive force downward due to the bulk molecules. The surface of the liquid behaves like a stretched membrane,...
FAQs
Surface roughness changes how saliva, proteins, and microorganisms interact with the prosthesis. Irregular areas may provide conditions that support accumulation of oral biofilms, making the denture more difficult to keep clean. Because biofilm persistence can contribute to odor and denture-related stomatitis, controlling roughness is important for comfort, hygiene, and oral health.
These properties influence the initial interaction between the denture and its oral environment. Wettability and surface free energy affect how saliva and proteins spread or attach, while porosity can alter the surface available for microbial interaction. Together, they help determine cleanliness, biofilm behavior, odor, biocompatibility, and the performance of surface treatments.
Surface treatments are intended to modify characteristics that control biological and physical interactions at the denture interface. Polishing can address surface texture, while coatings or other approaches may alter how the material contacts saliva, proteins, and microorganisms. Their value is assessed through effects on microbial resistance, durability, and biocompatibility.
Evaluation should consider roughness, porosity, wettability, and surface free energy, because each property contributes different information about the treated material. Researchers can relate these characteristics to interactions with saliva, proteins, microorganisms, and oral biofilms. Linking surface measurements with cleanliness, odor, comfort, and stomatitis-related outcomes gives the assessment clinical relevance.
They are particularly relevant when denture cleanliness, odor, comfort, microbial resistance, or tissue compatibility is a concern. Modifying the surface can complement clinical maintenance by addressing material properties that influence biofilm interaction. This supports denture designs and maintenance approaches aimed at reducing adverse oral effects while preserving useful prosthetic function.
These studies can guide efforts to improve microbial resistance, durability, and biocompatibility in denture design. They also clarify how the prosthesis interacts with saliva, proteins, microorganisms, and oral biofilms. The resulting information may support better cleanliness and comfort, reduce odor, and help address the risk of denture-related stomatitis through improved maintenance strategies.
