Talk:Debubblizer

Discussion of changes to term

I welcome feedback and constructive criticism as I am only an undergraduate working on a project. Aside from categorization, I plan to make the following changes concerning the term:

I plan to rewrite the opening first to be more concise, “. . . that is used to minimize air bubbles. . .”

The mention of wax casting is noted as ambiguous – I plan to clarify the term by rewording it to say “. . . such as casting for dental impressions.” I also plan to cite the Wikipedia source page for “dental impressions.”

The parenthesis and example are unneeded, so I plan to remove both of those, rewriting it to say “. . . set impression material to improve wettability.” The reference for “(e.g. to improve wettability) ” is correct and verified.

I also think that it needs to be noted that it is used in dentistry and will do that. However, could someone with more knowledge of this look into re-categorizing this term?

The reference for “pattern or cast.” I cannot find to verify; I clicked the ISBN number and I was brought to a search page, when I clicked search it did nothing. I then tried to click the links for Google Books and Open Library, which also came up empty, as well as Google Scholar, and my university’s library. I have found a verified source to fix this and plan to reword it to fit the reference cited. “. . . mixing will eliminate the air bubbles to produce fine casings.” (Bolla & M, 2016)

I also checked the reference for “wax casting patterns,” and I could not verify it through the ISBN number search or my library to verify with the same options above. Unfortunately, I think it makes it hard to use the examples of “silicon rubbers or wax casting patterns.” Instead, I will stop the sentence at “cast against impression materials,” until more verified sources can be found for this example.

I would also like to add a source link to the the Wikipedia page for "dentistry” as well as a note to see the source links for Orthodontics, Prosthodontics, Dental Implants, and Dentures. I am not sure if we need verified sources for this as the article and the references pertain to mostly dentistry, but is only mentioned briefly so I could not source more without being repetitive.

Could the general use of ridding the air bubbles could be used for any task with a cast or mold?

Please let me know and I will do more research to find sources for this. Within the layout, I plan to do some formatting changes and add headers and sections. This includes the engineering definition that I will put in its own section. Slcallais2 (talk) 20:28, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Revised Talk Page: I have revised the edits that I previously made to the term and have found more ways and information that could improve this topic. For my notes, and yours, I am including the edits I decided to keep as well.

Reworded for conciseness: “. . .is a chemical compound used as a . . .” “in certain industrial processes to minimize air bubbles when casting a mold or impression.” Also: “In engineering, debubblizer pertains to an individual or a device that removes bubbles from plastic tubing rods.”

Added header/section: Composition and Structure, Applications, Engineering, Orthodontics/dentistry/prosthodontics. (I previously added a header/section to the main term for debubblizer, however wikicleanerbot made an edit and I will not change. I assume this was the cleanup change also made by Gonymm and will not be changing that either. If I overlooked the revision and changed it, please change it back. I honestly didn’t see a difference when looking at your edit on the history page’s version versus the wikicleanerbot’s revision from the history page.)

Added written content to Composition and Structure section, “During the bulk aqueous phase, the debubblizer formula bond where the water-resistant tails form the center of the mass, and the waterproof heads are in contact with the surrounding liquid. Other types of groups and the water-resistant heads touch the surrounding liquid. Other forms can also combine to make spherical or cylindrical micelles or lipid bilayers. The shape of the chemical combinations depends on the chemical structure of the debubblizer. This is calculated by measuring the hydrophilic balance (HLB). The debubbizer reduces the surface tension of the water by going through surface assimilation when in the liquid-air stage.” (I am aware that this information is merely reworded from the Composition and Structure section found in term Surfactant and I understand that this might be over information, that is why I also added a see also and redirected to the Composition and Structure under surfactant, I think it could probably do with just the see also if anyone sees a problem with this.)

Added content to Applications section: “While debubblizer is most often used in the process of pouring molds, because of its chemical composition, it is often used for other processes see: . . .”

Added Cite Source Wiki to industrial processes, mold, impression, dentistry, manufacturing operations, dentistry, surfactant, surface tension, air bubbles, plaster slurries, impression materials, bulk aqueous phase, water-resistant, waterproof, micelles, lipid bilayers, chemical combinations, chemical structure, hydrophilic balance, surface assimilation, liquid-air stage, orthodontics, prosthodontics, engineering.

Added see also section to: Composition and Structure with source link to Composition and Structure in the term surfactant, added see also section and source link to application section of surfactant, added see also section to Orthodontics, Dentistry, and Prosthodontics.

References: Checked the four original source links listed and verified two, replaced one, and cut one. The source links verified were kept as well. Slcallais2 (talk) 14:13, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

I did some research, and it seems, from what I understand, that I am using the “see also” template wrong. So, here I have compiled those separately into their respective categories of “see also” and “further information.”

I only changed two edits from the “see also” ’s to the “further information”. Chemical Composition and Applications.

I am also going to be updating this talk page with a final page of the revisions to the term that I applied. Slcallais2 (talk) 15:19, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
