Bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA) and urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) are widely used as the primary components of (meth)acrylic monomers. However, use Bis-GMA, which is a bisphenol A derivative, in dentistry being questioned after was found to exhibit estrogenic activity. Although UDMA considered substitute for bis-GMA, mechanical properties cured resin composites containing less than...

Monomers in the polymer-based provisional crown and fixed partial denture materials form polymer network as carbon-carbon double bonds are converted to carbon-carbon single bonds during polymerization. This reaction is not complete. There will be a certain amount of monomer remaining in the resin materials. This is influenced by several factors, such as type of monomer, curing temperature, expo...

BACKGROUND The utilization of computer-assisted designing and computer-assisted milling CAD\CAM resins in the fabrication of removable prostheses is a modern-day concept that offers many advantages over the use of the traditional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). AIM This study instigated some of the mechanical properties of CAD\CAM denture base resin including the amount of residual monomer. ...

Grafted copolymer (sodium alginate (Na. Alg)- acrylic acid (AcA)– methacrylic (MAcA)) was prepared by the gamma irradiation-induced copolymerization in presence of N, N-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) as a co monomer crosslinker. The functionality, morphology and thermal stability have been examined using FTIR spectroscopy, SEM, TGA-DTA, respectively. surface grafted shows smooth relatively homog...

A flexible chemistry for solid phase attachment of oligonucleotides is described. Oligonucleotides bearing 5'-terminal acrylamide modifications efficiently co-polymerize with acrylamide monomers to form thermally stable DNA-containing polyacrylamide co-polymers. Co-polymerization attachment is specific for the terminal acrylamide group. Stable probe-containing layers are easily fabricated on su...

The value of the mutual diffusion coefficient DV of two acrylic monomers is determined with nuclear microprobe measurements on a set of polymer films. These films have been prepared by allowing the monomers to diffuse into each other for a certain time and subsequently applying fast ultraviolet photo-polymerization, which freezes the concentration profile. The monomer diffusion profiles are stu...

Among the various advanced materials, flame-retardant cellulosic textiles are important as they directly relate to human health and hazards. The use of environmentally friendly coatings is currently one major concerns in textile coating industry. In this work, acrylic acid was grafted onto surface cotton using plasma technology enhance attachment acrylate phosphate monomer. Surface analyses, su...

Vinyl acetate is a colorless, flammable liquid that also has a characteristic smell that can quickly become irritating. This monomer is used principally in the production of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and other vinyl acetate co-polymers. Polyvinyl acetate is a precursor of polyvinilyc alcohol and polyvinyl acetate resins (PVA). Vinyl acetate is also copolymerized as a minor raw material for vinyl...
