Nature of residual unsaturation during cure of dimethacrylates examined by CPPEMAS carbon-13 NMR and simulation using a kinetic gelation model

Elution study of unreacted TEGDMA from bulk-fill composite (SDR™ Dentsply) using HPLC

“…If a monomer is soluble in a given extraction medium, it can be eluted from the material. It was examined that monomers trapped in micropores are more susceptible to elution compared with those located inside the microgel [49]. It was also shown that the volume of micropores is higher in more heterogeneous material.…”

Quantification of monomer elution and carbon–carbon double bonds in dental adhesive systems using HPLC and micro-Raman spectroscopy

“…It has been shown that the unreacted monomers are more likely to remain within microgels than micropores of the polymer network. 32 Although distilled water or artificial saliva may simulate more clinically relevant conditions, it is well known that neither fully resembles the composition of human saliva. Furthermore, variations in natural salivary composition and flow rate may result in variations of monomer elution.…”

Development of formulations based on acrylate monomers for optical cable applications

“…Dimethacrylate reactions were inhomogeneous, involving microregions of high crosslink density surrounded by regions of low crosslink density. 16 The resultant morphology was a function of the spacer length in the monomer.…”
