Adhesive bonding of various materials to hard tooth tissues: XXIII. Isotonic monomer formulations
Journal of Dental Research
|May 1, 1981
Abstract:
With regard to adhesion to dentin by chemical mechanisms, the vitality of odontoblasts and contiguous pulpal cells might require that materials influencing the dentinal tubules be maintained within certain limits of osmotic pressure. Resins for use in adhesive formulations can be made isotonic with vital tissues by adjusting the proportions of hydrophilic monomers and the water contents of the formulations.

01:20Anionic Chain-Growth Polymerization: Overview
The polymerization process that involves carbanion as an intermediate is called anionic polymerization. It is also a type of addition or chain-growth polymerization. Anionic polymerization gets initiated by a strong nucleophile such as an organolithium or a Grignard reagent. The most commonly used initiator for anionic polymerization is butyl lithium. Monomers involved in anionic polymerization must possess a vinyl group bonded to one or two electron-withdrawing groups. For instance,...
01:12Bonding and Strength of Aggregate
The bond between aggregate particles and the cement matrix is significantly influenced by the shape and surface texture of the aggregates. High-strength concretes benefit from a rougher texture, which leads to stronger bonding due to greater adhesion. Angular aggregates with larger surface areas also enhance this bond. The bonding quality, however, is complex to assess as no universally accepted test exists. Good bonding is indicated when a crushed concrete specimen shows some aggregate...
