In this work, we have developed a new MLD process for fabricating photoactive hybrid thin films based on Zr clusters and aromatic 25D-BDC organic linkers. The amorphous and uniform films display high absorption in the visible part of the spectrum. Moreover, we show that the type of the organic ligand and its functional groups can be used to tune the optical properties of Zr-organic hybrids, as shown by the Zr-2A-BDC and Zr-26-NDC systems in this work.

The aim of this study was to investigate how lower and higher sintering temperature deviations in dental furnaces compared to the recommended firing protocols affected certain material properties of different translucency, chemical composition and recommended sintering temperatures, under the null hypothesis that there will not be any differences in properties investigated between the studied groups.

Advocates of skin protection against blue light express concern about exposure to indoor lighting and electronic screens aswell as natural outdoor exposure. However, the nature of adverse effects in skin is unclear and the doses to induce effectsare unknown. We aimed to reveal whether there is a scientific basis for promoting skin protection against violet-blue […]
