Correspondingly, the technologies of light curing units (LCU) have changed from UV to visible blue light, and there from quartz tungsten halogen over plasma arc to LED LCUs increasing their light intensity significantly. In this thesis, the influence of the curing conditions in terms of irradiance, exposure time and irradiance distribution of LCU on reaction kinetics as well as corresponding mechanical and viscoelastic properties were investigated.}, language = {en} }
