Abstract

Kinetic analysis of thermogravi metric data in visible-light-cured composite restoratives has been carried out and a comparison was made with that for a conventional chemically-cured composite. The results reveal that the thermal decomposition of polymers as the base resin in the composites rnay be governed by a single process, and the value of activation energy is different in decomposing the base resins thermally. The different values suggest that the kinds of base resins and the catalysts may have an effect on the thermal decomposition.
