Synthesis and application of a novel star-hyperbranched poly(acrylic acid) for improved dental restoratives
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new star-hyperbranched poly(acrylic acid) has been synthesized and incorporated into dental glassionomer cement for enhanced mechanical strengths. The effects of arm number and branching on viscosity of the polymer aqueous solution and mechanical strengths of the formed experimental cement were evaluated. It was found that the higher the arm number and the more the branching, the lower the viscosity of the polymer solution as well as the mechanical strengths of the formed cement. It was also found that the experimental cement exhibited significantly higher mechanical strengths than commercial Fuji II LC. The experimental cement was 51% in CS, 55% in compressive modulus, 118% in DTS, 82% in FS, 18% in FT and 85% in KHN higher than Fuji II LC. The experimental cement was only 6.7% of abrasive and 10% of attritional wear depths of Fuji II LC in each wear cycle. It appears that this novel experimental cement is a clinically attractive dental restorative and may potentially be used for high-wear and high-stress-bearing site restorations.

We have developed and studied a novel high-strength glass-ionomer cement system composed of poly(acrylic acid) with different molecular architectures. These poly(acrylic acid) polymers were synthesized via ATRP technique. The effects of arm number and branching on reaction kinetics, viscosity, and mechanical strengths of the formed polymers and cements were evaluated. The results showed that un...

A novel pH-responsive superabsorbent hydrogel based on gelatin was prepared through crosslinking copolymerization of poly (acrylic acid) and poly (itaconic acid). The copolymerization conditions including monomers, initiator, gelatin and crosslinker concentration, reaction temperature, and neutralization percent were systematically optimized to achieve a hydrogel with swelling capacity as high ...

Objective(s): Pharmaceutical industries are leading to improved medications that can target diseases more effectively and precisely. Researchers have intended to reformulate drugs so that they may be more safely used in human body. The more targeted a drug is, the lower its chance of triggering drug resistance, a cautionary concern surrounding the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The aim of t...
متن کاملEfficient water-soluble drag reducing star polymers with improved mechanical stability
We describe here the first example of the synthesis of 4-arm star poly(acrylic acid) for use as a water-soluble drag reducing agent, by applying Cu(0)-mediated polymerization technique. High molecular weight 4-arm star poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (Mn = 3.0-9.0 x 10 5 g mol -1 ) was first synthesized using 4,4’-oxybis(3,3-bis(2-bromopropionate)butane as an initiator and a simple Cu(0)/TREN catalys...
