“…It has generally been found that interfacial bonding to aged composites is significantly lower than the cohesive strength of the materials. Reported bond strengths vary widely among investigators, from ¼h to 34 of the cohesive strength, depending on the specific materials and experimental conditions (Forsten and Vahaho, 1971;Reisbick and Brodsky, 1971;Boyer et al, 1978;Lloyd et al, 1980;Vankerckhoven et al, 1982;Chan and Boyer, 1983). Some investigators have reported that interfacial bond strength to fresh composite, from seven to ten min old, was no different from the cohesive strength (Boyer et al, 1978;Lloyd et al, 1980;Marshall et al, 1982).…”
