Accelerated Curing of Concrete

Accelerated Curing of Concrete

Accelerating concrete curing is achieved by applying heat and additional moisture. This process accelerates the hydration of the cement, resulting in an earlier strength gain in the concrete. Steam curing is a method wherein the concrete products are either transported through a chamber on a conveyor belt or encased in plastic, allowing steam at atmospheric pressure to circulate freely around them. This process begins with a phase of moist curing that typically lasts between 3 to 5 hours, after...

Area of Science:

Dental Materials Science
Polymer Chemistry

Background:

Bulk-fill composite resins offer clinical advantages but require optimized curing protocols.
Understanding monomer release is crucial for assessing biocompatibility and material integrity.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the depth of cure of various bulk-fill composites.
To analyze the type and quantity of monomers released under different light-curing conditions.

Main Methods:

Five bulk-fill composites were tested using LED (standard, high, extra power) and halogen light devices.
Depth of cure was assessed via surface hardness measurements.
Monomer release was quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Main Results:

Most composites achieved over 80% cure depth, with exceptions noted for specific materials and high-power modes.
Monomer release varied significantly based on the composite resin type and the light-curing mode employed.

Conclusions:

Curing protocol significantly impacts the depth of cure and monomer release from bulk-fill composites.
Material selection and light-curing parameters are critical for optimal performance and potentially reduced monomer elution.
