what make up the resin matrix?
methacrylate or dimethacrylate monomers
what are examples of monomers
BISGMA
Urethane dimethacrylate
What are examples of co monomers?
TEGMA
What does TEGMA do?
controls viscosity
What else are present in resin composites?
inhibators
What do products based on silorane produce?
expansion that offsets shrinkage
what do c=c bonds take part in?
free radical polymerisation
What do unreacted monomers in resin composites allow for?
scope for chairside repair
What does the viscosity of the matrix polymer do?
reduces mobility of untreated monomers
What are two types of siloranes?
siloxanes
oxiranes

factor of hydrophobicity
What do oxiranes contribute to resin composites?
ring opening polymerisation
catatonic cure?
