(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2024) Bigham, Ashkan; Zarepour, Atefeh; Khosravi, Arezoo; Iravani, Siavash; Zarrabi, Ali; Genetik ve Biyomühendislik / Genetic and Bio-Engineering
The advent of three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) printing technologies has significantly improved the fabrication of advanced materials, with MXene-based composites emerging as a particularly promising class due to their exceptional electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties. This review explores the fundamentals of MXenes and their composites, examining their unique characteristics and the underlying principles of their synthesis and processing. We highlight the transformative potential of 3D and 4D printing techniques in tailoring MXene-based materials for a wide array of applications. In the field of tissue regeneration, MXene composites offer enhanced biocompatibility and mechanical strength, making them ideal for scaffolds and implants. For drug delivery, the high surface area and tunable surface chemistry of MXenes enable precise control over drug release profiles. In energy storage, MXene-based electrodes exhibit superior conductivity and capacity, paving the way for next-generation batteries and supercapacitors. Additionally, the sensitivity and selectivity of MXene composites make them excellent candidates for various (bio)sensing applications, from environmental monitoring to biomedical diagnostics. By integrating the dynamic capabilities of 4D printing, which introduces time-dependent shape transformations, MXene-based composites can further adapt to complex and evolving functional requirements. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research, identifies key challenges, and discusses future directions for the development and application of 3D and 4D printed MXene-based composites. Through this exploration, we aim to underscore the significant impact of these advanced materials and technologies on diverse scientific and industrial fields. This review highlights the developments in the 3D/4D printing of MXene-based composites, focusing on their application in tissue regeneration, drug delivery, sensing, and energy storage.

(Wiley, 2016) Kayahan, Mehmet Baybora; Ozkurt-Kayahan, Zeynep; Yay, Kubilay; Kazazoglu, Ender
PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution of hollow and solid design zirconia dowels. Materials and MethodsFinite element analysis (FEA) was used to investigate the influence of different dowel designs on the stress distribution of zirconia dowels. The coronal diameter of the dowel was 2.2 mm, the apical diameter was 1.8 mm, and the length was 15 mm. The diameter of the hollow space was 1.2 mm. Occlusal forces (both parallel and oblique) of 100 N were applied from the wider edge of the dowels simulating loads acting on the incisor during clenching and incising. The results were expressed in terms of von Mises criteria. ResultsFEA revealed differences in stress distribution. During parallel load, the maximum tensile stress of the hollow design (89.40 MPa) was greater than the solid design (43.30 MPa). During oblique load, the maximum tensile stress of the hollow design (1437.90 MPa) was greater than the solid design (917.96 MPa). The maximum deformation was observed in the coronal part of the dowel in both designs under the two load directions. ConclusionsFEA results showed that the hollow design zirconia dowels presented higher tensile stress.

(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Yurdaguven, Gulsah Yenier; Ciftcioglu, Elif; Kazokoglu, Fatma Sehnaz; Kayahan, Mehmet Baybora; Endodonti / Endodontics
Objectives: This prospective clinical trial evaluated the clinical performance of ceramic partial coverage indirect adhesive restorations (PCIARs) in posterior teeth luted with a light-cured composite resin. Methods: From April 2016 to January 2017, a total of 60 patients (27 males, 33 females; mean age: 42.2 +/- 10.86 years old) received 83 glass-ceramic PCIARs (26 onlay, 57 overlay) made of IPS Emax CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent). All restorations were luted with a light-cured composite resin (Filtek Z250, 3 M ESPE) by two operators. Two independent calibrated examiners blinded to the operators performing the treatment evaluated the restorations at baseline, 1-year, and 5-year following FDI World Dental Federation criteria including esthetic, functional, and biological properties. Data were analyzed with the Friedman test and the Wilcoxon sign test (p p < 0.05). Results: None of the restorations failed due to fracture or retention loss. One restoration was clinically unsatisfactory because of secondary caries. Marginal staining (p:0.000), marginal adaptation (p:0.018) showed significant differences between 1-year and 5-year recall. Conclusions: The PCIARs demonstrated excellent clinical performance at 1-year period. The degradation parameters appeared as minor staining and minor irregularities after 5-year, without any affect on the clinical performance.

(Springeropen, 2014) Shakhmurov, Veli B.; Sahmurova, Aida
In this paper, the boundary value problem for the differential-operator equation with principal variable coefficients is studied. Several conditions for the separability and regularity in abstract L-p-spaces are given. Moreover, sharp uniform estimates for the resolvent of the corresponding elliptic differential operator are shown. It is implies that this operator is positive and also is a generator of an analytic semigroup. Then the existence and uniqueness of maximal regular solution to nonlinear abstract parabolic problem is derived. In an application, maximal regularity properties of the abstract parabolic equation with variable coefficients and systems of parabolic equations are derived in mixed L-p-spaces.

Accelerating the reaction process of sodium carbonate-activated slag mixtures with the incorporation of a small addition of sodium hydroxide/sodium silicate
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Dai, Xiaodi; Ren, Qiang; Aydin, Serdar; Yardimci, Mert Yucel; De Schutter, Geert; İnşaat Mühendisliği / Civil Engineering
This paper investigates the possibility of accelerating the slowly progressive early reaction process of sodium carbonate-activated slag mixtures by adding a small amount of sodium hydroxide or sodium silicate to the so-dium carbonate activator. The reaction process of sodium carbonate-activated slag mixtures was evaluated by isothermal calorimetry and ultrasonic wave technology. Test results showed that adding a small amount of so-dium hydroxide or sodium silicate to the sodium carbonate activator significantly accelerated the reaction process, resulting in shortened setting times and enhanced mechanical properties. Only 1% Na2O contribution from sodium hydroxide addition can lead to a 2-d compressive strength of 20 MPa for sodium carbonate -activated slag mixtures. In addition, the 28 days compressive strength was significantly higher than the sole sodium carbonate activator. The addition of sodium hydroxide or sodium silicate also considerably influenced the rheological behavior of the sodium carbonate-activated slag mixture, enhancing the structural build-up rate and transforming the shear-thinning behavior to Bingham or shear-thickening behavior. A more well-packed microstructure was observed in the mixtures with the addition of sodium hydroxide; however, more micro -cracks were observed in the mixtures with a small incorporation of sodium silicate.

(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Cakmak, Gulce; Donmez, Mustafa Borga; Atalay, Sevda; Yilmaz, Hakan; Kokat, Ali Murat; Yilmaz, Burak
Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of single implant scans with a combined healing abutment-scan body (CHA-SB) system using different intraoral scanners. Methods: A partially edentulous model with an implant was fabricated, and a CHA-SB system was secured on the implant. The model was scanned using an industrial-grade blue light scanner (ATOS Core 80) and a master reference model was generated (MRM). The model was also scanned with 4 different intraoral scanners (IOSs) [(Virtuo Vivo (VV), TRIOS 3 (T3), Omnicam (CO), and Primescan (PS)]. Test scans (n = 8) were superimposed over the MRM using the best fit algorithm (GOM Inspect 2018; GOM GmbH). After superimpositions, distance and angular deviations at selected areas on CHA-SB system were calculated. The data were analyzed with a 1way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests for trueness and precision (alpha=0.05). Results: The differences in trueness (distance deviations) among tested IOSs were nonsignificant (P=.652). VV presented the highest angular deviations (P <=.031), and the angular deviations in other IOS scans were not found different (P >=.378). The precision of distance deviation data was not significantly different among scanners (P=.052). For the precision of angular deviation data, significant differences were found among IOSs (P=.002). Compared with PS (P=.007) and T3 (P=.014), VV had significantly lower precision, which was not significantly different than that of CO (P=.815). Conclusions: The accuracy (angular deviation) of scans of a combined healing abutment-scan body system on a single implant varied depending on the IOS. VirtuoVivo scans had the lowest accuracy in terms of angular deviations. When the distance deviation data were considered, scan accuracy of scanners was similar. Clinical Significance: A recently introduced combined healing abutment-scan body system combines the acquisition of both the implant and the soft tissue. When different intraoral scanners scan the combined healing abutment-scan body system, the scan accuracy may vary.

Accuracy of six intraoral scanners for scanning complete-arch and 4-unit fixed partial dentures: An in vitro study
(Mosby-elsevier, 2022) Diker, Burcu; Tak, Onjen
Statement of problem. The digital scan accuracy of different intraoral scanners (IOSs) for long-span fixed prosthesis and the effect of the starting quadrant on accuracy is unclear. Purpose. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy of 6 IOSs for complete-arch and prepared teeth digitally isolated from the complete-arch and to determine the effect of the starting quadrant on accuracy. Material and methods. A maxillary model containing bilaterally prepared canines, first molar teeth, and edentulous spans between the prepared teeth was used. The model was scanned by using a highly accurate industrial scanner to create a digital reference data set. Six IOSs were evaluated: TRIOS, iTero, Planmeca Emerald, Cerec Omnicam, Primescan, and Virtuo Vivo. The model was scanned 10 times with each IOS by 1 operator according to the protocols described by the manufacturers. Five scans were made starting from the right quadrant (ScanR), followed by 5 scans starting from the left quadrant (ScanL). All data sets were obtained in standard tessellation language (STL) file format and were used to evaluate accuracy (trueness and precision) with a 3D analyzing software program (Geomagic Studio 12; 3D Systems) by using a best-fit alignment. The prepared teeth were digitally isolated from the complete-arch and evaluated with the analyzing software program. The Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U statistical tests were used to detect differences for trueness and precision (alpha=.05). Results. Statistically significant differences were found regarding IOSs (P<.003) and scanning sequence (P<.05). The TRIOS showed the best trueness for the complete-arch, but not statistically different from Primescan, Virtuo Vivo, and iTero (P>.003). The lowest median values for precision of the complete-arch were also found using TRIOS, but no significant difference was found among the scanners (P>.003). In terms of trueness and precision, Primescan had the best accuracy for preparations. Emerald showed significant differences depending on the scanning sequence for complete-arch accuracy. ScanR for trueness (P=.021) and ScanL for precision (P=.004) showed improved results. However, Emerald, TRIOS, and Virtuo Vivo showed statistically significant differences in precision of preparations depending on scanning sequence. ScanL deviated less than ScanR when scanned with TRIOS (P=.025) and Emerald (P=.004), and the opposite with Virtuo Vivo (P=.008). In terms of preparations trueness, no significant difference was found between the ScanR and ScanL of any IOS (P>.05). Conclusions. Based on this in vitro study, the accuracy of the complete-arch and prepared teeth differed according to the IOS and scanning sequence.

Accurate Prediction of the Rheological Behavior of Mwcnt-Al2O3/ Water-Ethylene Glycol Nanofluid With Metaheuristic-Optimized Machine Learning Models
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2025) Ru, Yi; Ali, Ali B. M.; Qader, Karwan Hussein; Abdulaali, Hanaa Kadhim; Jhala, Ramdevsinh; Ismailov, Saidjon; Mokhtarian, Ali
The accurate prediction of the rheological properties of nanofluids is critical for optimizing their application in various industrial systems. This study focuses on the dynamic viscosity prediction of MWCNT-Al2O3/water (80 %) and ethylene glycol (20 %) hybrid nanofluid using machine learning approaches. A multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN) was employed for viscosity prediction, and its structural and training parameters, including the number of hidden layers and neurons, learning rate, training technique, and transfer functions, were optimized using three metaheuristic algorithms: Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA). A dataset containing viscosity measurements influenced by nanoparticle volume fraction (VF), temperature (T), and shear rate (SR) was utilized. The optimization algorithms were evaluated over 10 and 20 runs for single-hidden-layer (1HL) and double-hidden-layer (2HL) MLPNNs, respectively. For the 1HL-MLPNN models, all three algorithms achieved nearly identical performance with high predictive accuracy (R = 0.99992, MSE = 0.00176). In contrast, for 2HL-MLPNN models, PSO outperformed MPA and GA with R = 0.99995 and MSE = 0.00105, followed by MPA (R = 0.99995, MSE = 0.00123) and GA (R = 0.99992, MSE = 0.00160). Also, sensitivity analysis revealed the VF as the most significant input parameter affecting viscosity predictions, followed by shear rate and temperature. These findings demonstrate the potential of metaheuristic-optimized MLPNNs for high-accuracy prediction of hybrid nanofluid rheological properties, facilitating improved design and application in thermal management systems.

(Elsevier, 2024) Ali, Amina; Senu, Norazak; Wahi, Nadihah; Almakayeel, Naif; Ahmadian, Ali
This study aims to develop a new strategy for solving partial differential equations with fractional derivatives (FPDEs) using artificial neural networks (ANNs). Numerical solutions to FPDEs are obtained through the Hermite wavelet neural network (HWNN) model. The Caputo fractional derivative is consistently applied throughout the research to address fractional -order partial differential problems. To enhance computational efficiency and expand the input pattern, the hidden layer is removed. A neural network (NN) model featuring a feed -forward architecture and error -back propagation without supervision is employed to optimize network parameters and minimize errors. Numerical illustrations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in preserving computational efficiency while solving FPDEs.

It competes effectively with other traditional methods in providing accurate solutions for fractional differential equations (FDEs). This work aims to implement a feedforward ANN with two hidden layers to solve nonlinear systems based on the fractional Riccati differential equation (FRDE). The network parameters are trained using the Adam optimization method with the aid of automatic differentiation. A vectorization algorithm is designated for the selected step to make the computation process more efficient. Two different initial value problems in integer-order derivatives and fractional-order derivatives are discussed. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method not only closely matches the exact solutions and reference solutions but also is more accurate than other existing methods.

Advancing Mechanical and Biological Characteristics of Polymer-Ceramic Nanocomposite Scaffolds for Sport Injuries and Bone Tissue Engineering: a Comprehensive Investigation Applying Finite Element Analysis and Artificial Neural Network
(Elsevier Ltd, 2025) Lin, F.; Basem, A.; Khaddour, M.H.; Salahshour, S.; Li, W.; Sabetvand, R.
In recent years, the application of polymer-ceramic nanocomposite scaffolds in bone tissue engineering has received considerable attention due to their structural similarity to natural bone tissue. Polycaprolactone (PCL) has emerged as a viable material for the fabrication of porous bone scaffolds. Composites that incorporate PCL with ceramic phases, such as nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (n-HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP), have shown promise in promoting bone formation. Nevertheless, the use of bone scaffolds with complex geometries that mimic human bone poses challenges regarding their mechanical properties, which is the primary focus of this study. To assess the mechanical behavior of triangular nanostructures, particularly their ultimate compressive strength, finite element analysis (FEA) and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques were utilized. The obtained results were compared to experimental and analytical data. Three samples with varying weight percentages (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) of HA and TCP nanoparticles embedded in PCL polymer were fabricated using a 3D fused deposition modeling technique. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was conducted to evaluate the morphology, while apatite formation rate and weight loss in simulated body fluid (SBF) and phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution were assessed. The results revealed that a porosity of 76 % increases the apatite formation and dissolution rates by 23 % and 39 %, respectively. The SEM images, in conjunction with the simulated FEA models, indicated that scaffolds containing 0.3 wt% TCP nanoparticles exhibited favorable mechanical and biological properties for bone fracture applications. Additionally, the influence of different weight percentages of TCP and HA on the mechanical properties of the scaffolds was investigated using ANN. A neural network model was developed by incorporating 0.2 of each additive within a range of 0.1–0.3 while evaluating output data including elastic modulus, compressive strength, tensile strength, and Poisson's ratio. The predicted mechanical properties of the porous scaffold were subsequently analyzed and discussed. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Alkali-silica reaction of sanitary ware ceramic wastes utilized as aggregate in ordinary and high-performance mortars
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Tutkun, Bayram; Beglarigale, Ahsanollah; Yazici, Halit; İnşaat Mühendisliği / Civil Engineering
Waste management has been the foremost concern in the last decades. Utilizing sanitary ware ceramic (SWC) wastes in concrete has been found to be beneficial in terms of sustainability and cost in previous studies; however, deleterious alkali-silica reaction (ASR) potential of this waste aggregate, albeit it's high SiO2 content, has not been taken into account. This study aims to examine ASR potential of SWC wastes as well as the effects of permeability, w/c ratio, and reactive powder content of mixtures on the ASR-induced expansions in detail. Accelerated mortar bar, total and capillary water absorptions, and chloride ion penetration tests were conducted for %20, %40, %60, %80, and %100 replacement ratios at the first part of the study. The SWC aggregate showed ASR-induced expansions in "pessimum proportions". With a 9-day delay, similar patterns (trends) of ASR expansions were observed in the mixtures with a w/c ratio of 0.3 as compared with those of 0.5 w/c ratio. While the ASR expansions had meaningful relations with the water absorption tests and w/c ratio, there was no noteworthy correlation with the rapid chloride ion penetration test results, since the SWC aggregate effected the properties of pore solution. The effect of the finer grains of the SWC aggregate on ASR was investigated in the second part of the study. For this purpose, the SWC aggregate finer than 250 mu m was replaced with same sized limestone aggregate. The results revealed that the finer grains of SWC aggregate were responsible for the reductions observed in the first part of the study not due to "pessimum effect" phenomenon but rather to the pozzolanic activity of the finer grains.
