Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Polymer
  • Organic chemistry

His main research concerns Composite material, Polymerization, Shrinkage, Composite number and Elastic modulus. His work on Stress, Adhesive, Flexural strength and Curing as part of general Composite material research is often related to Knoop hardness test, thus linking different fields of science. His Flexural strength research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Triethylene glycol and Solubility.

While working on this project, he studies both Polymerization and Contraction. His work in Shrinkage tackles topics such as Universal testing machine which are related to areas like Scanning electron microscope. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Enamel paint and Dental restoration.

His most cited work include:

  • Factors involved in the development of polymerization shrinkage stress in resin-composites: a systematic review. (448 citations)
  • Contraction Stress Related to Degree of Conversion and Reaction Kinetics (250 citations)
  • Adhesion to tooth structure: A critical review of “macro” test methods (193 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Roberto Ruggiero Braga spends much of his time researching Composite material, Composite number, Polymerization, Stress and Flexural strength. Shrinkage, Elastic modulus, Universal testing machine, Bond strength and Curing are the subjects of his Composite material studies. His study connects Enamel paint and Composite number.

Roberto Ruggiero Braga has researched Polymerization in several fields, including Low shrinkage and Bulk fill. His Stress study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fracture toughness, Extensometer and Epoxy. His work carried out in the field of Flexural strength brings together such families of science as Bending, Polymer chemistry, Triethylene glycol and Nuclear chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Composite material (70.00%)
  • Composite number (31.76%)
  • Polymerization (27.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Composite material (70.00%)
  • Calcium (9.41%)
  • Flexural strength (22.35%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Roberto Ruggiero Braga mostly deals with Composite material, Calcium, Flexural strength, Nuclear chemistry and Composite number. His Composite material study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. His Calcium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Environmental chemistry, Ion release, Adhesive and Phosphate.

His work on Diluent as part of general Nuclear chemistry study is frequently connected to Antibacterial activity, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Composite number research includes themes of Dentin, Triethylene glycol, Enamel paint, Brushite and Monomer. The Polymerization study combines topics in areas such as Molar and Curing.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A comparative study of bulk-fill composites: degree of conversion, post-gel shrinkage and cytotoxicity (29 citations)
  • Calcium phosphates as ion-releasing fillers in restorative resin-based materials. (28 citations)
  • Trends in restorative composites research: what is in the future? (26 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Composite material
  • Polymer
  • Organic chemistry

Roberto Ruggiero Braga mainly focuses on Composite material, Flexural strength, Phosphate, Composite number and Calcium. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Surface modification under Composite material, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Triethylene glycol. His research investigates the connection with Flexural strength and areas like Phase which intersect with concerns in Glass fiber and Fracture toughness.

He studied Composite number and Brushite that intersect with Tooth Remineralization, Remineralisation, Lesion and Dental composite. The concepts of his Calcium study are interwoven with issues in Dentin, Adhesive, Enamel paint, Dynamic light scattering and Ion. His research in Polymerization intersects with topics in Curing and Thermal emittance.
