“…All these advantages are in agreement with the green chemistry principles [9,10]. This type of polymerization is widely used to obtain new materials, such as biomaterials, coatings, optical materials, and composites [6,[11][12][13][14][15][16]. Dimethacrylate monomers are easily polymerized by radical systems and have broad applicability.…”

The objectives of this study were to verify thermal properties, degree of conversion, and morphological features of several dimethacrylate polymers with different glycerol content and obtain the better proportion system to decrease cost of final polymer. These polymers were synthesized by photopolymerization, which has economic and ecological advantages. The glycerol can be used as a coinitiator in photopolymerization and has the advantage of being inexpensive and non-toxic; thus, it is in the scope of the green chemistry principles. Simultaneous thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis and derivative thermogravimetric, differential scanning calorimetry, middle infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electronic microscopy were used to determine thermal properties, degree of conversion, and morphological characteristics of polymers obtained. The thermoanalytical results showed that glycerol addition in the dimethacrylate system caused few modifications in the thermal stability of the polymer and thermal events when compared with pure polymers (without glycerol). Two dimethacrylate systems (UDMA/glycerol and Bis-GMA/glycerol) showed good results for conversion degree and morphological aspects when compared with pure systems.

“…A wide range of polymers are commonly used for various applications in clinical dentistry [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Amongst these, poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a polymer that is most commonly used in dental laboratories (to make orthodontic retainers and dentures and for repair), dental clinics (for relining dentures and temporary crowns), and industry (such as fabrication of artificial teeth) [ 7 , 9 , 10 ].…”

Prosthodontic Applications of Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA): An Update

2020

A wide range of polymers are commonly used for various applications in prosthodontics. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is commonly used for prosthetic dental applications, including the fabrication of artificial teeth, denture bases, dentures, obturators, orthodontic retainers, temporary or provisional crowns, and for the repair of dental prostheses. Additional dental applications of PMMA include occlusal splints, printed or milled casts, dies for treatment planning, and the embedding of tooth specimens for research purposes. The unique properties of PMMA, such as its low density, aesthetics, cost-effectiveness, ease of manipulation, and tailorable physical and mechanical properties, make it a suitable and popular biomaterial for these dental applications. To further improve the properties (thermal properties, water sorption, solubility, impact strength, flexural strength) of PMMA, several chemical modifications and mechanical reinforcement techniques using various types of fibers, nanoparticles, and nanotubes have been reported recently. The present article comprehensively reviews various aspects and properties of PMMA biomaterials, mainly for prosthodontic applications. In addition, recent updates and modifications to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of PMMA are also discussed.

“…All of these aspects have led to an increasing use in a broad variation of applications [1]. The fields of application of pultrudates range from medical and dental [2][3][4], infrastructure and construction [5,6] to the transport and automotive sectors [7]. In addition to the lightweight construction potential of pultrusion profiles, the general advantages of FRP such as high corrosion resistance and good electrical and thermal insulation properties are the decisive reasons for their use [1,5].…”

Comparison of the Processing of Epoxy Resins in Pultrusion with Open Bath Impregnation and Closed-Injection Pultrusion

In this study, the influence of the open bath and closed-injection pultrusion (CIP) processing methods of epoxy resins on the quality of glass fiber composites was investigated. In addition to the state-of-the-art epoxy resin system with long pot life, new resin systems with short pot life have recently been developed. These systems require processing by closed-injection pultrusion. The epoxies with long pot life allow both processing variants. The experimental work was carried out with two types of injection and impregnation chambers (ii_chamber), namely with a conical and a teardrop design. Fully impregnated composites, which were used for further analyses, could be produced by using the conical ii_chamber. The composite properties of the open bath and the conical ii_chamber impregnation methods were compared. No significant influence on the bending stress could be determined; the interlaminar shear strength was up to 10% better with open bath impregnation than with ii_chamber. For the composites investigated, it was shown that the open bath and ii_chamber impregnation methods can be used to produce parts with partially comparable properties, as demonstrated for the epoxy formulation with long pot life. These results indicate that processing of epoxy systems with a short pot life is also possible by closed-injection pultrusion. Furthermore, the influence on the composite properties of the time interval between the mixing of an epoxy resin and processing in an open bath was investigated. No significant effect on the bending stress and interlaminar shear strength could be determined.
