The physical, mechanical and biological properties of resin composites are strongly influenced by the degree of conversion, defined as the percentage of reacted aliphatic C=C bonds from the dimethacrylate monomers present in their polymeric matrices. The aim of this study was to determinate by FTIR of degree of conversion of nanofilled light-cured dental composites from a new monomeric system. Experimental composite was prepared from 2, 2 bis [4-(2-hidroxy 3-metacriloxypropoxi) phenyl] propane (...
