background: application of bonding agents (ba) into deep cavities and light curing them might increase pulpal temperature and threaten its health. the purpose of this study was to evaluate temperature rise of pulp by light curing six ba using two different light curing units (lcu), through a dent in wall of 0.5 mm. materials and methods: this in vitro experiment was carried out on 96 slices of ...

Ceramifiable styrene-butadiene (SBR)-based composites containing low-softening-point-temperature glassy frit promoting ceramification, precipitated silica, one of four thermally stable refractory fillers (halloysite, calcined kaolin, mica or wollastonite) and a sulfur-based curing system were prepared. Kinetics of vulcanization and basic mechanical properties were analyzed and added as Suppleme...

In this work, a novel dual-curing procedure has been developed. It is combination of first radical UV-initiated thiol-(meth)acrylate reaction, followed by second thermal thiol-epoxy step catalysed base. Since (meth)acrylates can lead to homopolymerization mechanism, the amount thiol be optimized reach cross-linked materials with Tgs above room temperature and good mechanical performance. should...

Although films of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) have good oxygen barrier properties due to its fine network structure, properties strongly deteriorate after absorption of water. In this work, a new approach has been followed for actively tuning the water resistance of a MFC fiber network by the inclusion of dispersed organic nanoparticles with encapsulated plant wax. The modified pulp suspen...

Vapor-grown carbon nanofibers (VGCNF) were functionalized with amine-containing pendants via a Friedel–Crafts acylation reaction with 4-(3-aminophenoxy)benzoic acid. The resulting H2N-VGCNF was treated with epichlorohydrin, followed by sodium hydroxide solution to afford N,N-diglycidyl-modified VGCNF that is designated as epoxy-VGCNF. Subsequently, epoxy-VGCNF was dispersed in an epoxy resin (E...

It is difficult to realize flame retardancy of epoxy without suffering much detriment in thermal stability. To solve the problem, a super-efficient phosphorus-nitrogen-containing reactive-type flame retardant, 10-(hydroxy(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl)-5,10-dihydrophenophosphazinine-10-oxide (HB-DPPA) is synthesized and characterized. When it is used as a co-curing agent of 4,4'-methylenedianiline (DD...

In this study, the relationship among the chemical composition and the physical and chemical properties of four photo-cured composites and one heat curing composite for crown and bridge were investigated. Five composites were composed of the base monomer, UDMA, TriEGDMA, 1, 3-BDMA, 1, 4-BDMA, 1, 10-DDMA, 1, 12-DDDMA or those mixture, and the composite-filler consist of the resin (TMPTMA, UDMA, ...
