Abstract

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 prototype 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.
