Structure and properties of poly(benzyl acrylate) synthesized under microwave energy

Chlorhexidine delivery system from titanium/polybenzyl acrylate coating: Evaluation of cytotoxicity and early bacterial adhesion

“…Polybenzyl acrylate (PBA) was synthetized by radical polymerization under microwave conditions as previously j o u r n a l o f d e n t i s t r y 4 0 ( 2 0 1 2 ) 3 2 9 -3 3 7 described. 32 Average molecular weight (M w ) and polydispersity index (M w /M n ) of the sample used in this study were 91370 and 2.6, respectively. Chlorhexidine (CHX, from Aldrich), and chloroform (Carlo Erba, PA) were used unmodified.…”

Functionalization of styrenic polymer through acylation and grafting under microwave energy

“…This methodology demonstrated improvements (higher yield, shorter reaction times) in various reactions of polymer chemistry. [15][16][17][18] The present work was undertaken to study the acylation of PS with maleic anhydride (MA) in the presence of zinc oxide under microwave conditions. The microwave energy was evaluated as the product of the power and time of irradiation.…”

Photopolymerization of acrylates by enzymatically synthesized PCL based macrophotoinitiator

“…Hindering unpleasant odors, providing better solubility and compatibility are also the encouraging factors for utilizing polymeric photoinitiators [11]. Poly(benzyl acrylate) (PBzA) was preferred in the literature due to its high thermal and photochemical stability and poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate) (PTHFA) was noted with its recognizable blood compatibility [21,22]. Homopolymer and copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) were widely used in biomedical applications as a result of their hydrogel form, tunable properties and biocompatibility [23,24].…”
