6 Questions
What is the characteristic of elastomeric materials at a molecular level?
They have large molecules with weak interaction among them
What is the difference between elastomeric materials and hydrocolloid gels?
Elastomeric materials are hydrophobic, while hydrocolloid gels are hydrophilic
What is the classification of RIMs based on their properties?
Thermoset - Elastic IM
What is the method of dispensing for silicone type of RIM?
Paste-liquid type
Which of the following is NOT a use of RIMs?

What is the reaction mechanism for the polymerization/cross-linking of RIMs?
Condensation reaction
Learn about the characteristics and properties of Elastomeric (Rubber) Impression Materials, particularly the RIM type. Discover how these materials are soft and rubber-like, with large molecules forming a 3-dimensional network for elasticity. Contrasted with hydrocolloid gels, these materials are hydrophobic in nature.
