Degree of conversion of resin blends in relation to ethanol content and hydrophilicity Cadenaro M et al. - Exotherms showed that degree of conversion was influenced by the hydrophilicity of the blends resin, percentage of ethanol dilution and time of curing. 30% ethanol dilution increased degree of conversion compared to neat compounds irrespective to resin type and curing time, showing the highest degree of conversion values of the study design.
