• Resumen

  • A full account of early research that led to the discovery of the Alpha-diketone and Amine systems by two Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) researchers. UK Chemists in the mid-sixties marked the beginning in the early development of a composite resin cured with visible light spectrum into a solid mass. Its incorporation into the newly developed Urethane based resin, led to conceiving the idea of developing the first light-activated restorative composite resin, which formed the proto- type of modern composite restorative materials.

    How all that came about, and the ideas that were conceived and pursued in the development of these systems are discussed in detail.
