Question 87 (part 2) · LDEK · Composites

Conversion ratio of monomer to polymer is significant for the filling durability, due to the essential influence on physical-mechanical properties of the composite material. Indicate the consequence of conversion:

1) giving the composite material dark yellow color;
2) composite material shrinkage;
3) decrease of the material’s volume;
4) increase of spreading of the material in the cavity at the last stage of polymerization.
Correct answer is:
  1. A. 1,2.
  2. B. 1,3.
  3. C. 1,4.
  4. D. 2,3.
  5. E. 3,4.
Hint

During polymerisation, van der Waals distances between monomers turn into shorter covalent bonds — what happens to the bulk of the material?
