Photopolymerizations, in which the initiation of a chemical-physical reaction occurs by the
exposure of photosensitive monomers to a high-intensity light source, have become a well …

Dental resin-composites are comprised of a photo-polymerizable organic resin matrix and
mixed with silane-treated reinforcing inorganic fillers. In the development of the composites …

Photopolymerization is a widely used polymerization method in many engineering
applications such as coating, dental restoration, and 3D printing. It is a complex chemical …

Many developments have been made in the field of resin composites for dental applications.
However, the manifestation of shrinkage due to the polymerization process continues to be a …

Different monomer structures lead to different physical and mechanical properties for both
the monomers and the polymers. The objective of this study was to determine the influence …

OBJECTIVES: Cavity lining with flowable composites have been proposed to improve initial
marginal adaptation and minimize shrinkage stresses. The purpose of this study was to …

OBJECTIVES: The degree of conversion (DC) and polymerization shrinkage of resin
composites are closely related manifestations of the same process. Ideal dental composite …

This paper reviews our recent studies on radical photopolymerization initiators, which are
used in the design of light-curing dental adhesives and resin composites, by collating …

OBJECTIVES: To study hygroscopic dimensional changes in new resin-matrix composites
during water sorption/desorption cycles. METHODS: Five materials were examined: a self …

Instability of the dentine-resin interface is owed to the partial/incomplete penetration of the
resin adhesives in the collagen fibrils. However, interfacial hydrolysis of the resin-matrix …
