Abstract
The photoinitiated polymerization by camphorquinone alone and/or with ethyl -4-dimethylaminobenzoate of mono-functional monomers (hydroxyethyl acrylate , glycidyl methactylate), di-functional monomers (polyethylene glycol diacr ylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate), with tri-functional monomer (tri s[2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl]isocyanurate) by visible light (> 400 nm) has been i nvestigated. The very high photoreactivity of tris[2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl]iso cyanurate dominates all photopolymerization in kinetics. The maximum functi onal group conversion and the volume shrinkage are dependent on the number of functional groups, type of functional groups and the polymerization cond itions. The volume shrinkage decreased for filled (70%) composites. Dental formulations based on photocuring of these mono-, di- and tri-functional mo nomers can be considered for clinical applications.
