Recently some studies have shown that low light intensity followed by final cure at high light intensity may result in a smaller marginal gap and may be no negative effect on material properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of the initial cure with low intensity on the shear bond strength of dentin and the microhardness of composite resin. Twenty intact bovine teeth were prepared for shear bond strength test and each tooth sectioned to three specimens. The specimens were randomly divided into three groups according to the light intensity and curing time as follows; Group I. $450mmW/cm^2$ 40sec Group II. $300mmW/cm^2$ 20sec and $600mmW/cm^2$ 20sec Gropu III. $250mmW/cm^2$ 20sec and $450mmW/cm^2$ 20sec. Samples of each group were restored with light-cured composite resin after dentin bonding and then the shear bond strength of each specimen were measured using universal testing machine. Ten resin specimens per group were prepared. After 24 hours, the Vickers microhardness value was measured at the top and bottom surfaces. The result are as follows; 1. Mean value of low initial intensity groups(II, III) were higher than the control group(I) in shear bond strength, but no significant difference could be found. 2. No significant difference could be found between three groups in microhardness.

In the paper, we have demonstrated an azobenzene-coated fiber Bragg grating (FBG) for monitoring ultraviolet light (UV) intensity in remote measurement. The elasticity of the coated azobenzene polymer is changed by the UV light, which induces a center wavelength change corresponding to the change of the FBG's grating period. The wavelength shift resulting from both UV light and other light with the wavelength out of the UV range was about 0.18 nm. In order to improve the accuracy of the measurement, the center wavelength shift caused by radiant heat of the light source was sufficiently removed by using a thermal filter. The amount of the center wavelength shift was consequently reduced to 0.06 nm, compared to the result without the thermal filter. Also, the FBGs coated by using azobenzene polymer were produced by two different methods; thermal casting and UV curing. Considering temperature dependence, UV curing is more suitable than thermal casting in UV sensor application of the azobenzene-coated FBG. In addition, we have confirmed the wavelength dependence of the optical sensor by means of four different band pass filters. Thus, we found out that the center wavelength shift per unit intensity is 0.029 [arb. unit] as a maximum value at 370 nm wavelength region and that the absorption spectrum of the azobenzene polymer was very consistent with the wavelength dependence of the azobenzene-coated FBG.

This is the experimental study on the strength development of the light weight concrete block according to the autoclaving time. The calcareous source used the cement, siliceous material used the bottom ash ground to fine particle, and the PP fiber used to increase toughness. The results of this experiment are as follows. According to the increase of autoclaving time and the fiber content, compressive and flexural strengths are increased. Despite of the changes of the autoclaving time, tobermorite was produced on each of the specimens. However, the phase of tobermorite was changed in accordance with the changes of autoclaving time.

The purpose of this study was to assess comparatively the shear bond strength on dentin of four dentin bonding agents used in conjunction with light-curing composite resins. Clearfil New Bond, Scotchbond Multipurpose Dentin Adhesive, All-Bond 2 and X-R Bond were applicated on labial dentin surfaces just below dentin - enamel juction of bovine incisor teeth. After shear bond strength testing with the universal testing machine, the bonding interface of the specimens were observed under light stereomicroscope. Following results were obtained. 1. The shear bond strength was high in the order of B,C,D,A and group B Scotchbond Multipurpose Dentine Adhesive revealed greater bond strength than Clearfil New Bond and X-R Bond. (p<.001) 2. When using ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range test, there were statistical differences among the four groups, except between group Band C,group D and A. 3. There was no relationship between mode of failure and shear bond strength.

Triphenylamine derivatives play important roles as hole transporting materials in organic light emitting devices. However, low molecular weight triphenylamine derivatives show low glass transition temperature and aggregation behavior, and the vapor deposition step of low molecular weight materials is incompatible with large area display fabrication. Conventional polymer PEDOT-PSS HTL has serious drawbacks such as the ITO anode corrosion, poor surface energy match with aromatic EMLs. To solve these problems, we introduced crosslinkable units to triphenylamine-based polymers to make insoluble HTL by thermal curing following spin-coating. Electrochemical and optical properties of the new hole transporting materials were investigated. In addition, the device characteristics obtained with new hole transporting polymers were investigated in details.

The UV nanoimprint technology uses the UV light as the energy source. Because the imprint process is carried out in room temperature and low pressure, this technology has its own merits compared to the thermal nanoimprint. However, in UV nanoimprint technology, a resin which has low viscosity is essential for the improvement of accuracy. In this research, a resin (named as IMS01) which has relatively low viscosity was developed. And a measurement system was developed in order to measure the degree of cure of the resin. The measurement system which is composed of FT-IR, UV light source and optical guide can measure the degree of cure in real time. From the experimental results, it was found that the IMS01 is cured more rapidly than existing resin (PAK01).

The stereolithography(SL) process is a type of fabrication technology which relies on photopolymerization. It has a relatively simple fabrication process and a resolution of several tens of ${\mu}m$. Recently, SL technology has been applied to various areas, such as bioengineering and MEMS devices, due to the development of advanced materials. This technologycan be divided intothe scanning(SSL) and projection (PSL) types. In this paper, in stereolithography, parts are fabricated by curing photopolymeric resins with light. The application of stereolithography can now include fabricated parts. This process, called stereolithography, can fabricate parts by taking into account theirdegrees of geometry complexity. In particular, UV-LED stereolithography can perform quite rapid fabrication in which specific cross-sections are cured upon exposure to light.

Dynamically vulcanized PMMA/ACM (80 wt%/20 wt%) blend using DCP as a curing agent was prepared using internal mixer. The morphology, mechanical properties, optical properties, melt viscosity and die swell were characterized by using FE-SEM, tensile test, Izod impact test, dynamic mechanical analysis, ARES and capillary rheometer, respectively. The blends show a phase-separated morphology in which ACM are dispersed in PMMA matrix. Dynamically vulcanized blend exhibits higher mechanical properties, higher melt viscosity, and die swell as compared to simple blend. And, the dynamically vulcanized blend showed total transmittance of more than 75% and haze of higher than 90%, which enable it to find potential applications to fabricate an optical diffuser by extrusion process.

Three t-amines, 4-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid (ABA), 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde (MBA), 4-(dimethylamino)benzophenone (MBP), were investigated as new visible light photoinitiators for a dental resin composite of UDMA in order to improve photopolymerization effect. Three t-amines mixed with three photosensiizers, CQ, PD and DA, respectively. And the photopolymerization effect of photoinitiators were compared with that of 4-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (AEM), the most widely used photoinitiator. The photopolymerization efficiency of UDMA containing the photoinitiator increased with irradiation time. The increase was in the order: MBP

I. Objectives Newly-designed method was evaluated to measure the linear polymerization shrinkage of light-cured resin composites. II. Materials and Methods A resin composite(Clearfil AP-X, Kuraray, Japan) was filled into a vinyl-polysiloxan mold(1 to 8mm-depth, and 7mm-diameter). As indicators, 4 beads(Retention Beads 2 SS, GC, Japan；particle size $200{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$) were placed diagonally on the resin surface of a mold. The coordinates (x, y, z, pasition) of each indicator were measrued by a measuring-microscope after which the resin surface was irradiated by a curing-light source(Optilux 500, Demetron/Kerr, USA) for 40 sec. After 20 sec the coordinates were again measured.(omitted)
