In Situ Photo-Polymerisation and Polymerisation-Shrinkage Phenomena

  • Chapter

Abstract

Photo-polymerisation is now a widely accepted initiation mode for the clinical hardening processes required with a wide range of biomaterials including dental adhesives and restoratives. As we discuss in detail, there is a strong relationship between the progressive phenomenon of photo-polymerisation, with attendant network formation, and shrinkage stresses and strains set up in the material and its host environment.
