Acrylic base resins are widely used in orthopedics and dental surgery. It is generally accepted that due to the incomplete conversion of methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer to the polymer form during polymerization of the resin, some MMA monomers remain in the hardened material. MMA monomer has been reported to cause abnormalities or lesions in several organs of animals. Study of the literatures ...

ionomers are generally described by copolymers having either acrylic or methacylic acid as one component and the other component is mostly either ethylene or styrene. the objective of this research was to study the thermal behaviour and stability of ionomers of styrene with some alkali metal acrylates. these materials have been synthesized by neutralization of the respective copolymer containin...

There have become available, recently both in Paresthesia this country and abroad, “sculptured” artificial nails A long recognized, unique feature of allergic contact based on acrylates that are “photobonded. " The dermatitis caused by the acrylic monomer is a bonding is said to be similar to urestorative dental distressing paresthesia of the fingertips on the form of a bonding” commonly used b...

Prevailing trend towards the use of lighter and lower cost engineered plastics in automotive, construction, aerospace, electronics and other industrial end uses have created a need for pressure sensitive materials that can bond well to these new, inherently low surface energy plastics. Reported herein are novel all acrylic compositions with inherently lower surface energy that display significa...

ABSTRACT. Acrylated Parkia biglobosa medium oil alkyd prepared by the reaction between an acid containing acrylic copolymer and a monoglyceride followed by the addition of polyol and dibasic acid has been investigated for improved properties. The results revealed that acid functional acrylic copolymers containing maleic anhydride as a functional co-monomer can successfully be used to modify alk...
