Evolution of Network Structure and Mechanical Properties in Autonomous-Strengthening Dental Adhesive

The inherent degradation property of most dental resins in the mouth leads to the long-term release of degradation by-products at the adhesive/tooth interface. The by-products increase the virulence of cariogenic bacteria, provoking a degradative positive-feedback loop that leads to physicochemical...
