79
Q

A

Nanohybrid

- include nanparticles and nano clusters

80
Q

Describe nanohybrid resins: (3)

A

• By reducing the size of the particles and increasing the total surface to be
wet by the resin it should increase viscosity but it doesn’t, because
nanoparticles do not behave like a solid they behave more like a
liquid.
• To increase the amount of fillers, the manufacturers form agglomeration
of nanoparticles or nanoclusters (having a size of about 1 micron), to give viscosity, color, opacity and radiopacity.
* we can fit more filler and not affect viscosity negatively
• Nanofillers can be incorporated into other composites improving
their properties (resistance to tensile strength, abrasion, marginal stability and provides a very good polishing).

81

high polish-ability, and superior handling characteristics.
