Development of Metal-Resin Composite Restorative Material. Part 1. Experimental Composite using Silver-Tin Alloy as Filter and 4-META as Coupling Agent.

Development of Metal-resin Composite for Dental Magnet Keepers. Part 1: Effects of Filler and 4-META Contents on Setting and Flexural Properties

“…Flexural strength significantly increased with the increase of 4-META content in this study. This result was in accordance with previous results by Kakuta et al 16) and Soma et al 12) . This was because 4-META was considered to improve the bond between metal particles and resin matrix.…”

Setting and Flexural Properties of Metal-Resin Composite Using Ag-Cu Particles as Filler and Chemical Accelerator

“…Hirano et al1,2) used stainless steel particles as filler in preparing a composite for magnetic cores of fixed prostheses. Kakuta et al 3) used 70%Ag-27%Sn-3%Cu metal particles as filler and 4-META (4-(2-methacryloyloxyethoxycarbonyl) phthalic anhydride) as a coupling agent between the filler particles and the resin matrix in preparing a posterior composite, aiming to improve its wear resistance and durability. Following this study, Urapepon et al4) found that the flexural strength of this composite was improved by enhancing the bond between 4-META and the filler particles using acid-and heat-treatments on the filler particles.…”

New Initiation System for Resin Polymerization using Metal Particles and 4-META.

“…Fig. 2 shows the iso-value curves of the logarithmic value of setting time with the changes of the 4-META and BPO concentrations, which was drawn using equation (1). The square root of Ve seen in Fig.…”
