A hardenable (e.g. dental) compositions is described comprising an encapsulated material. The encapsulated material comprises a basic core material and an inorganic shell material having certain viscosity criteria. Also described are dispensing devices and kits are described comprising a hardenable (e.g. dental) composition comprising a liquid material and an encapsulated material wherein the encapsulated material comprises a basic core material and an inorganic shell material comprising a metal oxide surrounding the core. The dispensing devices and kits can facilitate the methods of applying the hardenable composition. The hardenable or hardened (e.g. cured) composition can provide various technical effects such as a delayed release of a basic core material, a delayed increase in basicity, promoting remineralization of a tooth or bone structure, and increasing the average alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of pulp cells. In some embodiments, the composition is a dental (e.g. sealant) composition for application to a tooth structure.

A method of applying a two-part dental sealant is described comprising providing a syringe device () comprising a cartridge () including first and second chamber. The first chamber contains a first part of a dental sealant comprising a (meth)acrylate resin and an oxidizing curing agent. The second chamber contains a second part of a dental sealant comprising a (meth)acrylate resin and a reducing curing agent that reacts with the oxidizing curing agent of the first chamber. The first and/or second part of the dental sealant further comprise a single component or multiple components that neutralize acid and promote remineralization. The syringe device comprises a dispensing nozzle () comprising a static mixer and an outlet at one end of the cartridge and a plunger () at the opposing end of the cartridge. Also described is a kit for storing and applying the dental sealant is described.

Systems and methods for monitoring the status of air filters are provided. One or more thermoelectric sensors are provided to have an upstream sensing surface positioned adjacent the inlet surface of the air filter, and a downstream sensing surface positioned adjacent the outlet surface of the air filter. Sensing circuitry are connected to the thermoelectric sensors, configured to receive signals from the thermoelectric sensors and process the signals to obtain status information of the air filter.

Article comprising particles in an organic polymer matrix comprising a cured thiol-alkene resin having a T&#x3e;20&#xb0; C., wherein the particles comprise a composite core and a continuous nonmetallic inorganic coating covering the composite core, wherein the composite core comprises a nonmetallic inorganic matrix, ligands, and quantum dots, wherein the nonmetallic inorganic matrix is present in the composite core in an amount of up to 40 volume percent, and wherein the coating has an average thickness up to 5 micrometers. Exemplary articles described herein can be made for use in display applications such as films, LED caps, LED coatings, LED lenses, and light guides. Exemplary articles described herein can be made for use in nondisplay applications such as security applications where quantum dot phosphors are used to provide fluorescence at selected or tailored wavelengths. In such uses, the organic polymer matrix could be a label or a coating on a label, or other articles such as a card or tag.

A p-type transparent conductive oxide (TCO) mixed metal oxide material layer formed upon a substrate has a formula M1M2Ogenerally, CaCoOmore specifically, and CaC4Omost specifically. Embodiments provide that the p-type TCO mixed metal oxide material may be formed absent an epitaxial crystalline relationship with respect to the substrate while using a sol-gel synthesis method that uses a chelating polymer material and not a block copolymer material.

A nanosheet comprises a single crystal mixed metal oxide M1M2Omaterial composition that may comprise a single crystal NaCoOmaterial composition. The nanosheet may be prepared using a sequential process sequence that includes chelated mixed metal ion sol-gel mixture formation, autocombustion, isostatic pressing, electro kinetic demixing and calcination. This particular process sequence provides single crystal nanosheets having in-plane mutually perpendicular lateral sheet dimensions greater than about 10 microns by about 200 microns, and a thickness from about 5 to about 100 nanometers.
