On the properties of nanosilicate-based filled dental adhesives: Synthesis, characterization, and optimized formulation

In this study, we incorporated hybrid nanoparticles (poly (acrylic acid)-grafted nanoclay/nanosilica, respectively, with platelet and spherical morphologies, abbreviated as PAA-g–NC–Sil) in different concentrations (0, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2 and 5 wt%) to an experimental dentin bonding system and investigated the physical properties of the filled adhesive and its shear bond strength (μ-SBS) to dentin. We subsequently compared the properties of the...
