The polymerization of self-curing resin takes faster in______________?

Correct answer: B. Hot water

  • A. Cold water
  • B. Hot water
  • C. Under pressure
  • D. In vaccum

Explanation

Self-curing resin polymerizes faster in hot water because increased temperature accelerates the decomposition of the initiator and the polymerization reaction. Cold water slows the reaction, while pressure mainly reduces porosity rather than initiating polymerization.
