چکیده
background and aims. polymerization efficacy affects the properties and performance of composite resin restorations. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of polymerization of two micro-hybrid, two nano-hybrid and one nano-filled ormocer-based composite resins, cured by two different light-curing systems, using fourier transformation infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy and vickers microhardness testing at two different depths (top surface, 2 mm). materials and methods. for ft-ir spectrometry, five cylindrical specimens (5mm in diameter × 2 mm in length) were prepared from each composite resin using teflon molds and polymerized for 20 seconds. then, 70-μm wafers were sectioned at the top surface and at2mm from the top surface. the degree of conversion for each sample was calculated using ft-ir spectroscopy. for vickers micro-hardness testing, three cylindrical specimens were prepared from each composite resin and polymerized for 20 seconds. the vickers microhardness test (shimadzu, type m, japan) was performed at the top and bottom (depth=2 mm) surfaces of each specimen. three-way anova with independent variables and tukey tests were performed at 95% significance level. results. no significant differences were detected in degree of conversion and microhardness between led and qth light-curing units except for the ormocer-based specimen, ceramx, which exhibited significantly higher dc by led. all the composite resins showed a significantly higher degree of conversion at the surface. microhardness was not significantly affected by depth, except for herculite xrv ultra and ceramx, which showed higher values at the surface. conclusion. composite resins containing nano-particles generally exhibited more variations in degree of conversion and microhardness.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of conversion by Knoop microhardness (KHN) and FT-Raman spectroscopy (FTIR) of one nanofilled (Filtek Supreme-3M-ESPE [FS]) and one microhybrid composite (Charisma-Heraeus-Kulzer [CH]), each with different opacities, namely enamel, dentin, and translucent, which were photo-activated by a quartz-tungsten-halogen lamp (QTH) and a light-emitting dio...
متن کاملFT-IR Spectroscopy in Medicine
Infrared spectroscopy has been widely applied for the characterisation of various substances. Due to its sensitivity to the chemical information and architecture of the molecule, infrared spectroscopy can play an important role in new applications such as in the life-science field and not only in the traditional fields of physics and chemistry. Spectroscopic techniques are simple, reproducible,...
متن کاملCharacterization of Phenol-Formaldehyde Prepolymer Resins by In Line FT-IR Spectroscopy
Different resol phenol-formaldehyde prepolymer resins have been synthesized with different formaldehyde / phenol ratios. The phenolic resin composition depends on monomer ratio, catalyst, reaction conditions, and residual free monomers. Temperature and pH conditions under which reactions of phenols with formaldehyde are carried out have a profound effect on the characteristics of the resulting ...
متن کاملTannin-Based Copolymer Resins: Synthesis and Characterization by Solid State 13C NMR and FT-IR Spectroscopy
In recent years, the interest for bio-sources is rising exponentially and tannins extracts are one of the most interesting, easily-available, phenolic building blocks. The condensed tannins or proanthocyanidins are already known for their polymerization chemistry, which is the basis for several natural-based materials (e.g., adhesives, foams). In the present work we aim to observe the behavior ...
