Test #1- 1 Flashcards
What are qualities of metal
-high thermal electrical conductivity
-ductility
-opacity
-luster
*atoms in regular or crystalline arrangement
high atomic bond strength
What are qualities of a crystalline arrangement
liquid to solid
3 spatial dimensions
What are qualities of Ceramics/Porcelain
very brittle, high melting point, low thermal and electrical conductivity, not very chemically active
What are ceramics/porcelain a combination of
kaolin, feldspar, quartz
Molded without chemical reaction taking place; change takes place with temperature changes
thermoplastic- dental polymers
a chemical change that takes place during molding
thermosetting
a small organic molecule that can be bound to similar molecules to form a polymer
monomer
material composed of many repeating units called monomers
polymer
plastics are
synthetic
rubber is
natural
polymerization is
the conversion of low molecular weight compounds (monomers) to high molecular weight compounds (polymers)
what contains 2 or more different monomers
copolymer
what is a cross-linking agent
network of adjacent polymer chains, makes polymer stronger
what is a composite
*dimethacrylic acid polymer
What material is heavily filled and used for direct restorations, veneers, inlays cementation, and sealants
composite
more fillers =?
increased strength
what is the galvanic response
coupling of 2 dissimilar metals
what is thermal conductivity
rate at which heat flows through a material
what is solubility
ability to dissolve in liquid
what is the liquid a substance dissolves in
solvent*
what is the uptake of fluids into a solid
sorbtion/absorbtion
when is sorbtion detrimental
when restorations or cement deteriorate
What is the primary result of molecular interaction
result of from chemical bond
what are primary molecular interactions based on
polyacrylic acid
what is the secondary molecular interaction
physical forces with no chemical union
*most common
*what is the wetting angle
angle measured through the liquid at which a liquid interface meets a solid surface
(how well a liquid covers the surface of a solid)
what does it mean when there is a high contact angle
less of the surface is covered, hydrophobic, less wetting
what contact angle does a good adhesive have
one that approaches zero
low contact angle=
hydrophilic, more wetting
what are some examples of material with a lower wetting angle
- impressions
- bonding agent
what is disintegration
- breaking up of a solid
- end process of fluid and material interactions
