Article Abstract
The demand for high-functionality and miniaturized consumer electronics is driving the development of polymer packaging materials with intrinsically high thermal conductivity. Herein, a novel vanillin-based liquid-crystalline epoxy monomer (BEP) and three curing agents (ICA-1, ICA-2, and ICA-3) containing conjugated aromatic imine structures were synthesized. The results of X-ray diffraction measurements show that the structural order of the epoxy resins based on BEP and ICAs increases with the number of conjugated benzene rings in ICAs. Compared with the conventional epoxy reference (0.23 W m K), the prepared liquid-crystalline epoxy resins exhibit enhanced intrinsic thermal conductivity (0.28-0.38 W m K) due to the synergistic effect from the liquid-crystalline phase structure in BEP and the additional ordered structure (via π-π stacking) in ICAs. Both experimental and molecular dynamics calculation results show that the thermal conductivity of the epoxy resins is proportional to the length of the conjugated structures in ICAs. Owing to the incorporation of dynamic aromatic imine bonds, the three cured epoxy resins based on BEP and ICAs demonstrate excellent reprocessibility through imine metathesis and are chemically degradable in the amine solution.

Background: The single-cone obturation technique with iRoot SP demonstrated strong filling capacity in circular root canals; however, its sealing ability in oval root canals remains underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the sealing performance of the single-cone obturation technique with iRoot SP in oval root canals, in comparison with warm vertical compaction obturation.
Methods: A total of 129 single-rooted teeth with oval canals were prepared using rotary instruments and randomly divided into three groups (n = 43 per group): warm vertical compaction obturation with AH Plus (WVC + AH Plus), warm vertical compaction obturation with iRoot SP (WVC + iRoot SP), and single-cone obturation with iRoot SP (SC + iRoot SP).
