Photopolymerization experiments and properties of some urethane/urea methacrylates tested in dental composites:
2012
Hydrophobic silyl-urea/urethane methacrylates (UHM-1, UHM-2) and a modified BisGMA derivative (BisGMA-UMA) were synthesized and used as photopolymerizable co-monomers in the preparation of dental composites, besides other urethane dimethacrylates containing oligoethylene oxide segments and carboxylic groups. The homo- and copolymerization behaviour of the synthesized monomers were investigated by FTIR spectroscopy using camphorquinone (CQ) and 4-(dimethylamino)-phenylacetic acid (DMPheAA) as a photoinitiating system, as well as by photo-DSC. The first hybrid monomethacrylate, N-(methacryloyloxyethyl-N’-diethoxymethylsilylpropyl)-urea showed the highest value for the maximum polymerization rate (0.117 s−1) followed by BisGMA analogue (0.085 s−1) and N-methacryloyloxyethyl-N’-bis(triethoxysilylpropylcarbamoyloxyethyl)-urea (0.069 s−1), whereas the degree of conversion decreased from 75.1% (UHM-2) to 41.6% (BisGMA-UMA). Polymerization shrinkage (PS) measured by picnometry for the mixture BisGMA-UMA/TEGDMA (4...
