Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a curable composition comprising a polymerizable monomer (A); spherical particles (B) having an average primary-particle diameter in a range of 230 nm to 1,000 nm; and a polymerization initiator (C), in which 90% or more of individual particles constituting the spherical particles (B) lies in a range of ±5% based on the average primary-particle diameter, and the refractive index of the spherical particles (B) is larger than the refractive index of a polymer of the polymerizable monomer (A). When a 1 mm-thick cured product is formed from the curable composition and the Y value (Yb) of the colored light of the cured product on a black background and the Y value (Yw) of the colored light of the cured product on a white background are each measured using a color difference meter, the ratio therebetween, Yb/Yw, being within a range of 0.2 to 0.5.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A curable composition comprising a polymerizable monomer (A); spherical particles (B) having an average primary-particle diameter in a range of 230 nm to 1,000 nm; and a polymerization initiator (C), wherein 90% or more of individual particles constituting the spherical particles (B) lies in a range of ±5% based on the average primary-particle diameter, the polymerizable monomer (A) and the spherical particles (B) satisfy requirement (X1) represented by the following formula (1): nP<nF   (1) in formula (1), nP represents a refractive index at 25° C. of a polymer obtained by polymerizing the polymerizable monomer (A); and nF represents a refractive index at 25° C. of the spherical particles (B), and when a 1 mm-thick cured product is formed from the curable composition and the Y value (Yb) of the colorimetric value according to the Munsell Color System of the colored light of the cured product on a black background and the Y value (Yw) of the colorimetric value according to the Munsell Color System of the colored light of the cured product on a white background are each measured using a color difference meter, the ratio therebetween, Yb/Yw, being within a range of 0.2 to 0.5. 2 . The curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the average primary-particle diameter of the spherical particles (B) is in a range of 240 nm to 500 nm. 3 . The curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the difference between the refractive index nF at 25° C. of the spherical particles (B) and the refractive index nP at 25° C. of a polymer of the polymerizable monomer (A) is 0.001 or more. 4 . The curable composition according to claim 1 , comprising inorganic particles (D) having an average primary-particle diameter of less than 100 nm. 5 . A dental filling restorative material consisting of the curable composition according to claim 1 .
