Friction between different wire-bracketconfigurations and materials
Robert P. Kusy,John Q. Whitley +1 more
TL;DR: The coefficients of friction are summarized between different arch wire-bracket couples as a function of material, geometric, and external parameters in order to evaluate their effects on sliding-binding and notching.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the frictional coefficients for selected archwire-bracket slot combinations in the dry and wet states.
TL;DR: The mixed reports that saliva may promote adhesive and lubricious behaviors may have some substance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of archwire and bracket dimensions on sliding mechanics: derivations and determinations of the critical contact angles for binding.
Robert P. Kusy,John Q. Whitley +1 more
TL;DR: Using geometric archwire and bracket parameters, the theta c is calculated as the boundary between classical frictional behaviour and binding-related phenomena, and what these equations predict is independent of practitioner or technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance to sliding of self-ligating brackets versus conventional stainless steel twin brackets with second-order angulation in the dry and wet (saliva) states.
TL;DR: The frictional properties of conventional stainless steel brackets that were coupled with rectangular stainless steel archwires and ligated with stainless steel ligature wires and the frictional Properties of closed self-ligating brackets coupled with the same archwire were compared in terms of second-order angulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexible (Kapton-based) microsensor arrays of high stability for cardiovascular applications
Ernö Lindner,Vasile Cosofret,Stefan Ufer,Richard P. Buck,Robert P. Kusy,R. Bruce Ash,H. Troy Nagle +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the design, fabrication and performance characteristics of Kapton-based planar mini and semimicro potentiometric sensors with an Ag/AgCl or a quinhydrone-based redox internal reference electrode are described.
