Characterization of Dental Composite Resin with Additional TiO2 Nanoparticle Filler

Macromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.
Silanized SiO2‐based dental composite resins with and without TiO2 nanoparticle addition were fabricated using a Bis‐GMA/TEGDMA resin matrix and photopolymerized under 468‐470 nm UV light. The resulting composites, composite I (55% SiO2) and composite II (50% SiO2 + 5% TiO2), were characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform ...
