Infrared Spectroscopy as a Tool to Monitor Radiation Curing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photoinitiated polymerization of multifunctional monomers and oligomers is one of the most efficient methods to produce quasi-instantly highly cross-linked polymer networks. It has found a large number of commercial applications, mainly in the coating and printing industry. Among the advantages of this technology the high cure speed, the reduced energy consumption, and the absence of VOC emissions are the most remarkable. It is well known that the UV curing can be performed either by a radical or a cationic mechanism. The cationic photoinduced process presents some advantages compared to the radical one; in particular lack of inhibition by oxygen, lower shrinkage, good mechanical properties of the UV cured materials, and good adhesion properties to various substrates [Fouassier & Rabek, 1993]. The properties of a UV-cured material depend not only on the photocurable composition but also on its photopolymerization kinetics, it is very important to have access to an analytical technique that will facilitate this purpose.

متن کاملA comparative study of polymerization lamps to determine the degree of cure of composites using infrared spectroscopy.
The aim of this study was to compare polymerization lamps of various technologies (halogen, high performance halogen, xenon, i.e. plasma arc, as well as diode lamps) to determine the degree of polymerization of composite probes using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. To observe the light-induced curing reaction under a bracket, an attenuated total reflection (ATR)-FTIR was used. T...

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive technique that allows determination of tissue oxygenation based on spectro-photometric quantitation of oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin within a tissue. This technique has gained acceptance as a tool to monitor peripheral tissue perfusion in critically ill patient. NIRS principle is based on the use of near-infrared electromagnetic waves for qualitati...
متن کاملEffect of Shade and Light Curing Mode on the Degree of Conversion of Silorane-Based and Methacrylate-Based Resin Composites
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The degree of conversion depends on the material composition, light source properties, distance from light source, light intensity, curing time, and other factors such as shade and translucency. OBJECTIVES In the present study, we evaluated the effects of different light-curing modes and shades of methacrylate and silorane-based resin composites on the degree of conversio...
