Dental Materials, 07/07/08
Kilambi H et al. - Polymerization kinetics and polymer mechanical properties were evaluated for the novel resin composites. It was observed that upon the use of novel monomethacrylates as reactive diluents, polymerization kinetics increased by up to 3-fold accompanied by increases in the extent of cure from 5% to 13% as compared to the BisGMA/TEGDMA control. Polymer composites formed from resins of BisGMA/novel monomethacrylates exhibited comparable Tg values to the control, along with 27–37% reductions in the glass transition half widths indicating the formation of more homogeneous polymeric networks.
