You have saved my life Dr. I love all your videos but this was by far the best. It was a nightmare studying for this but you made it so simple. Keep up the great work Doc. Looking forward to more videos:)
HEMA’s Characteristics: HEMA is not typically classified as amphiphilic because its primary interaction is with water due to its hydrophilic hydroxyl group. While it has some level of interaction with hydrophobic components (like the methacrylate group), it does not exhibit the same balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties as true amphiphilic substances, such as surfactants.
www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0376738820309996 Please read the above article. HEMA maynot be the best amphiphilic monomer available. But this resembles more closer than most other resin monomers used Thanks for your insight I will learn more about this Regards
sir in which name universal bonding agent available in the market how can we apply it? The technique of applying universal adhesive is similar to conventional one?
3MESPE single bond universal is a good universal adhesive. Application time should be 30-40 seconds (read instruction manual) which is more, before light compared to conventional adhesives
