This diploma thesis deals with the influence of long term thermal load on the stability of high-viscous resins used for dental composites matrix. The process of polymerization was also investigated in connection with type and ratio of monomer units, mass content of the initiator system and the presence of nanosilica filler. Prepared resins were characterized by differential compensation photocalorimetry (DPC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The dependence of the heat flow on time was measured by DPC. Based on the experimental data, the dependence of conversion on time and the dependence of polymerization rate on conversion were determined. Viscoelastic properties of the cured resins were determined by DMA. Experimentally measured data implies that by the influence of elevated temperature both the degree of conversion and the polymerization rate decreased. With a higher content of the initiator system incorporated in resin the decrease was more significant. Therefore, we can conclude that when the resin was exposed to the elevated temperature one of the components of the initiator system was inactivated. For the photopolymerized resins presence of two glass transition temperatures is typical due to the inhomogenous morphology of the cured resin. There are two types of domains with varying relative composition. However, after the degradation only one glass transition temperature was detected. That was caused by reducing the resin viscosity due to the increased temperature. Higher mobility of the initiator system molecules and monomers itself resulted in more homogenous structure of the cured resin. In case of elevated temperature exposed resins more significant decrease of the elastic modulus was observed. The curing process is considerably influenced by the type and ratio of the monomer units and by the presence of filler.
