Nanoenabled resinbased composites in restorative dentistry: mechanical performance, aesthetic outcomes, and global regulatory considerations
Abstract: Resinbased composites are central to contemporary restorative dentistry but remain constrained by polymerization shrinkage, wear and color instability, which compromise longterm restoration success. Nanoenabled resinbased composites (nanocomposites) have been developed to overcome these limitations by incorporating nanosized fillers and engineered nanostructures into conventional resin matrices, thereby enhancing mechanical properties and optical performance. This narrative Review summarises current evidence on the evolution, composition, and mechanisms of nanoenabled resinbased composites; compares their …

A Study on Self Compacting Concrete using Portland Pozzolana Cement
Abstract: Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a type of highly flowable concrete that fills each and every corner of congested formwork without the need for mechanical vibration as it is placed by means of its own weight. Generally, the SCC is prepared by using Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) with mineral and chemical admixtures. Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) itself contains some amount of fly ash, thus given the motivation to prepare the SCC …
