The Effect of Parylene-C Coating on the Surface Free Energy, Water Sorption, Solubility and Staining of PMMA
Abstract:Background and objective: Parylenes are conformal protective polymer coating materials utilized in various biomedical applications since they are chemically and biologically inert and stable. Acrylic resins, used in the manufacturing of different types of intra-oral prostheses, are vulnerable to fluid sorption and solubility and consequently alteration of different physical and mechanical properties. This study investigated the effect of surface coating of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) with Parylene-C, on sur… Show more
