This paper investigates the effect of curing conditions on the strength improvement of polymer-modified mortars using epoxy resin with various curing methods. The polymer-modified mortars using epoxy resin are prepared with various polymer-cement ratios, and subjected to standard, hot water, heat cure and autoclave cures. The epoxy-modified mortars are tested for flexural and compressive strengths at desired curing methods. From the test results, the flexural and compressive strengths of the epoxy-modified mortars are hardly improved by the autoclave and hot water cures compared to the ideal cure of $20^{\circ}C$. Among the four types of curing methods, the strengths of the heat cured epoxy-modified mortars is largely improved. Especially, it is obtained in the mortars sealed with PVDC film.

Two-component epoxy resin is widely used in the cultural heritage restoration field. However according to mixing ratio of resin and hardener, curing property, mechanical strength and chemical structure differ which have possibility to effect the stability of cultural heritage. Result of questionnaire survey shows hands-on workers in the conservation field tend to mix the epoxy resin with his or her eye measurement when the using amount is small or mix additional hardener to shorten the pot life of epoxy resin. This research aims to analyze the curing property, mechanical strength and chemical structure of rapid curing type epoxy resin and medium curing type one depending on relative ratio of 0.25~4 of hardener to resin. When the amount of hardener was 0.5~2 times more than the resin, exothermic heat and curing speed were both increased. In case of included hardener to resin was lower than official ratio, mechanical strength (tensile shear strength, tensile strength and compressive strength) became higher along with active cross-linking bonding of the epoxy resin. Medium curing type epoxy relatively had lower exothermic heat and slower reaction during curing process. It was observed to be put to definite point of mechanical strength under lower content of hardener than official ratio. While, hardener ratio more than twice the resin slowed down the curing greatly and lowered the adhesion strength also. In conclusion, under the lower mixing rate of hardener than official ratio would show relatively fast reaction with similar mechanical strength. Over the official ratio on the other hand, material property drops rapidly. Accordingly, mixing ratio of epoxy resin is expected to be influential to the stability of cultural heritage.

Since heat curing acrylic resins undergo unavoidable dimensional changes following polymerization, adaptation can be altered. Until recently, although numerous studies on the dimensional changes of denture base were based on a microscopic technic that measures the relative displacement of a limited reference points on the denture base, but there have been few studies on the distortions of resins using holographic interferometry. Purpose of this study was to determine and compare the dimensional changes and fringe patterns of 4 heat curing acrylic resins, and observe the distortions of acrylic resin denture base by temperature change with the aid of the holographic interferometry. Holographic interferograms were taken on the resin specimens and acrylic resin denture base with the 10mW He-Ne laser and double exposure method. Comparison and analysis of fringe pattern on the recorded object surface was performed. The following results were obtained. 1. The dimensional changes for the high impact resin Lucitone 199 were statistically the greatest of all resins, and the rapid heat curing resin Premium super 20 were the least. 2. The most polymerization shrinkage of all materials occured in initial period of measurements, at this time the difference of polymerization shrinkage properties between resins was founded. 3. The stress distribution of specimens was seen by various type of fringe pattern which had directionality. 4. The polymerization shrinkage of resins was greatly influenced by temperature change. 5. The partial deformations of resin denture base were observed in 70 C and 90 C water.

In this study, hardness, microstructure and temperature of glass transition are measured respectively by using SEM (Scanning electron microscope) and DSC (Differential scanning calorimeter) to analyze the effects on material properties by after-curing in the epoxy resin. As the result of hardness test according to the after-curing conditions, the higher the temperature of after-curing, hardness and heat resistance are, the higher hardness is. As a result of microstructure for each specimen by SEM, it could be confirmed that the specimen with after-curing has more dense fracture surface. It is also found that temperatures of glass transitions by DSC are comparatively higher in the specimens with after-curing, and the differences between after-curing conditions are negligible.

The present study quantitates the in vitro cytotoxicity of a variety of denture base acrylic resins using cell culture techniques combined with image analysis to measure nuclear area and DNA contents. In this study, a comparison was made among direct curing, heat curing and microwave curing resins. The results obtained from this study were as follows : 1. Morphologically, cell process and nucleus became prominent but macroscopic difference according to the resins were nit observed. In addition, increased cellular density around the specimen were observed. 2. In DNA contents measurements, $S-G_2M$ phase cell was 15.47%, 14.58% in control and heat curing resin on 1st day and the others group $21.39\sim33.36%$ were measured. 3. Nuclear area and DNA contents were increased on 3rd day except DNA content of the microwave curing resin group. These results suggest that denture base acrylic resins stimulate gingival fibroblasts in vitro, especially stimulation of direct curing resin is larger and longer than the others.
