    Forskningsinteresser

    Main interest: polymer resin based materials, polymerization, degradation and erosion processes, analysis of substances eluted from polymer material (e.g. composites) under different conditions.
    In addition  research projects concerning working environment and especially the issue concerning allergy to dental materials among dental personnel and dental technicians but also to some extent in patients are focused on.

    Supervisor of 2 PhD projects. One with focus on composite resin materials and one in yttrium stavbilized zirkoniadioxide.
