Effects of mixing of europium oxide in resin composites on the fluorescence characteristics and mechanical properties
To mix Eu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> with RC, visible fluorescence emission was observed even with increasing the Eu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> concentration, and the mechanical properties of RC were unaffected. Based on our study, a 15 wt% concentration of Eu₂O₃ is the appropriate concentration, as it achieves strong fluorescence emission without compromising the mechanical properties or color tone of the RC.
