RESUMO
The aim of this study was to obtaining an adhesive made of dimethacrylate copolymer and clay particles in different concentrations. The samples were prepared by light curing and were evaluated by XRD, FTIR and TGA as well as by measuring flexural strength, elasticity modulus and tensile resistance. The XRD and the mechanical test results indicated that the system with 0.2% clay is exfoliated, while the highest concentrations showed the agglomeration of these clays. FTIR was used to determine the conversion, and showed that use of clays particles are unable to significantly alter the polymerization until 1.0%. However, for the group containing 1.5%, there was a decline in this index. In the thermogravimetric analysis, only the groups with 0.2% of clays showed increased thermal resistance. In conclusion, the incorporation of clay at 0.2% concentration produces a well-dispersed system and can be applied as a dental adhesive.
