Synthesis and characterization of (co)polymers containing a phosphonate function for use in dental composites

Dental Nanomaterials

“…Lack of good adhesion to the tooth structure and polymerization shrinkage are the most important problems. Considerable interest has been devoted to synthesizing new monomers to provide alternative monomers to overcome the problems [47]. BTDMA as a dimethacrylate monomer containing carboxylic acid groups in its structure has been shown that can interact with the Ca 2+ ions of the tooth structure so it has the potential to provide better adhesion properties in dental composites (Fig.…”

“…Cut off the straw, and scrape uncured composite from the bottom of the specimen with a sharp knife. Measure the length of the apparently cured specimen and divide in half to estimate the effective depth of cure [47,50].…”

Synthesis and Photopolymerizations of New Crosslinkers for Dental Applications

“…Many approaches have been developed to improve these properties. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Dental monomers are generally liquids cured by a photoinitiating system based on combination of camphorquinone and tert-amine derivatives.…”

Homogeneous reverse atom transfer radical polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate and ring-opening reaction of the pendant oxirane ring

“…Polymers with phosphonate or phosphate groups in the main chain or side chain attract great interest for their inherent flame resistance [34], and are also expected to be new functional ultraviolet (UV)-curable materials [35]. In our previous work, we reported the reverse ATRP of methyl methacrylate using N,N-n-butyl dithiocarbamate copper (Cu(SC(S)N(C 4 H 9 ) 2 ) 2 ) as the new catalyst [36].…”
