Graphene-based Nanostructures for Future Dental Composites
Journal Title: Journal of Applied Material Science - Year 2025, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Dental composites are becoming more important as an alternative to traditional dental materials. However, their low mechanical properties have limited their widespread use. Recently, there has been a lot of research interest in using graphene-based nanostructures to improve the mechanical properties of dental composites. The challenge now is to ensure that these future dental composites are biocompatible. This review paper provides an overview of the latest research on the development of graphene-based dental composites, covering their structure, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. It first gives a brief overview of dental composites and their structures, then introduces and compares different types of graphene-based nanostructures. Finally, the paper presents recent advances in developing graphene-based dental composites. The overview confirms that the mechanical properties of dental composites can be significantly improved with the incorporation of graphene-based nanosheets. However, further studies on other types of graphene-based nanostructures, specifically on the biocompatibility of these future dental composites, seem necessary.

Tunable Morphology of Polyaniline/Multi-wall Carbon Nanotube for Organic Solar Cells
Despite the great interest in applying polyaniline (PAni) in organic solar cells (OSCs), only a few studies deal with the morphology control of PAni-based OSCs. Here, comprehensive research has been conducted on the morp...
From Waste Polypropylene to Carbon Dots
This study presents the successful synthesis of carbon dots (C-Dots) from polypropylene (PP) from a two-step method. PP waste from food packaging was converted into C-Dots through a thermal process followed by a solvothe...
Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Polyamide-imides Containing Thioether Linkages, Thiazole, and Nitrophenyl Units with High Solubility and Processability for Optical Film Applications
In this study, a novel diimide-diacid (DIDA) monomer featuring thiazole rings, nitrophenyl groups, and a thioether linkage has been introduced. Subsequently, several new sulfur-containing polyamide-imides (PAIs) were dev...
Orange Peel-impregnated Sodium Montmorillonite as a Sustainable Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel
Metal structures are always exposed to corrosion, and this slow but continuous phenomenon causes a decrease in the strength of metals, ultimately causing their destruction and inflicting financial and human losses. Chemi...
