Abstract
OBJECTIVE Polymerization shrinkage poses a significant challenge in dental resin composites. The objective of this study is to introduce spiroorthocarbonate monomer 3,9-dimethylene-1,3,5,7-tetraoxa-spiro[5,5]undecane (BMSOC) and epoxy resin monomer 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexane carboxylate (ECHM-ECHC) into bisphenol-S-bis(3-methacrylato-2-hydroxy propyl)ether (BisS-GMA) based resin composites to develop composites with reduced shrinkage properties. METHODS BMSOC and BisS-GMA were synthesized and thoroughly mixed with ECHM-ECHC, followed by inorganic fillers and photoinitiators. Based on the composition of the resin matrix, five groups of experimental composites were prepared, with traditional bisphenol A-dimethacrylate glycidyl ester (Bis-GMA)/triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) based composite serving as the control. The polymerization properties, including degree of conversion (DC) and polymerization shrinkage (PS), as well as marginal microleakage, wettability, flexural strength (FS), flexural modulus (FM), and biocompatibility were evaluated. RESULTS The results demonstrated that compared with the control group, the PS of BisS-GMA based composites containing BMSOC and ECHM-ECHC were significantly reduced (P < 0.05), and the lowest PS (0.96 ± 0.08 %) was observed when the ratio of BisS-GMA: (Epoxy + BMSOC) was 4:6. Additionally, the experimental composites also exhibited improved DC, minimal microleakage, low hydrophilicity, enhanced mechanical properties, qualified in vivo biocompatibility, and slight/moderate in vitro biocompatibility. SIGNIFICANCE The resin composites incorporating multiple modified low-shrink monomers are promising for dental applications to prevent various clinical problems caused by PS and extend restoration longevity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of using K18-methyl methacrylate (K18-MMA) and K18-Filler on composite cure, esthetic, mechanical, polymerization shrinkage, and antimicrobial properties. METHODS K18-MMA (0-20% w/w) was used to replace TEGDMA in a 70:30 Bis-GMA:TEGDMA composite filled to 70% w/w with barium glass or K18-Filler. Composite degree of cure (Rockwell15T hardness and near Infrared FTIR), hydrophilicity (contact angle measurements), translucency (transparency parameter measurements, TP), mechanical (3-point bend test), polymerization shrinkage (volumetric shrinkage and shrinkage stress), and antimicrobial properties (colony counting assay) against Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis, and Candida albicans were determined. RESULTS All experimental groups had comparable degrees of cure (near Infrared FTIR and Rockwell15T Hardness), TP, moduli, polymerization volumetric shrinkages and shrinkage stresses to those of controls (Bonferroni corrected p > 0.0018). Only one group (15% K18-MMA+K18-Filler) had significantly different (lower) contact angles as compared to that of controls (Bonferroni corrected p < 0.0018). Most of the K18-Filler-containing composites had significantly lower ultimate transverse strengths (UTS) than controls (Bonferroni corrected p < 0.0018). Controls had significantly greater S mutans colony counts than 15% and 20% w/w K18-MMA+K18-Filler groups, and greater S sanguinis and C albicans colony counts than K18-containing groups. Of the composites with that provided significant antimicrobial properties against S. mutans, S. sanguinis, and C. albicans, only the 20% K18-MMA+K18-Filler group had significantly lower UTS than controls. SIGNIFICANCE Composites with K18-MMA and K18-Filler with comparable physical properties to control composites and significant antimicrobial properties have been developed. K18-MMA and K18-Filler seem to be suitable for incorporation into commercial dental resins.

[PMID: 38139916 PMCID: PMC10747391 DOI: 10.3390/polym15244664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Recently, photocurable coatings are being used frequently. However, it is worth mentioning that the use of photopolymerization has its drawbacks, especially in the case of curing coatings on three-dimensional surfaces and in places that are difficult to access for UV radiation. However, it is possible to develop a system in which UV technology and thermal methods for curing coatings can be combined. Moreover, the obtained resins are derived from low-viscosity epoxy resins or diglycidyl ethers, making them an ideal building material for photopolymerization-based three-dimensional printing techniques. Due to the need to improve this method, a series of epoxy (meth)acrylates containing both epoxy and (meth)acrylate groups were obtained via the addition of acrylic or methacrylic acid to epoxy resin, diglycydylether of bisphenol A epoxy resin (DGEBA), cyclohexane dimethanol diglycidyl ether (CHDMDE) and neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether (NPDE). The structures of the synthesized copolymers were confirmed through spectroscopic analysis (FTIR) and studied regarding their nonvolatile matter content (NV) and acid values (PAVs), as well as their epoxy equivalent values (EEs). Due to the presence of both epoxy and double carbon-carbon pendant groups, two distinct mechanisms can be applied: cationic and radical. Hence, the obtained resins can be cured using UV radiation with thermally appropriate conditions and initiators. This type of method can be used as a solution to many problems currently encountered in using UV technology, such as failure to cure coatings in underexposed areas as well as deformation of coatings. Synthesized epoxy (meth)acrylate prepolymers were employed to formulate photocurable coating compositions. Furthermore, the curing process and properties of cured coatings were investigated regarding some structural factors and parameters. Among the synthesized materials, the most promising are those based on epoxy resin, characterized by their high glass transition temperature values and satisfactory functional properties.

Abstract
Silanization of filler particles in a dental resin composite is achieved by the formation of Si-O-Si bonds, however, these bonds are especially vulnerable to hydrolysis because this covalent bond has a significant ionic character due to the electronegativity differences between the atoms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of an interpenetrated network (IPN) as alternative of silanization reaction and to assess its effect in selected properties of experimental photopolymerizable resin composites. The interpenetrate network was obtained during the photopolymerization reaction of organic matrix (BisGMA/TEGDMA) with a biobased polycarbonate. Its characterization was performed via FTIR, flexural strength, flexural modulus, depth of cure, sorption water and solubility. A resin composite formulated with non-silanized filler particles was used as control. The IPN with a biobased polycarbonate was successfully synthesized. The results showed that the IPN based resin composite had higher values of flexural strength, flexural modulus, and degree of double bond conversion than the control (p < 0.05). Polymerization shrinkage, water sorption and solubility were statistically significantly lower than the control resin (p < 0.05). Finally, this study shows there were no statistically significant differences for the biocompatibility outcomes (p > 0.05). The biobased IPN replaces the silanization reaction in resin composites, improving physical and chemical properties. Therefore, IPN with a biobased polycarbonate could be potentially useful in the formulation of dental resin composites.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a low shrinkage, hydrophobic, degradation-resistant, antimicrobial dental composite using a fluorinated acrylate, and a difunctional oxirane. METHODS The effects of a fluorinated acrylate (2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl acrylate; PFOEA), a difunctional oxirane (EPALLOY™ 5001; EP5001), and a three-component initiator system (camphorquinone/ethyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate/4-Isopropyl-4'-methyldiphenyl iodonium Tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) borate; CQ/EDMAB/Borate) on bisphenol A glycidyl dimethacrylate: triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (BisGMA:TEGDMA) composite surface hardness, degree of monomer-to-polymer conversion, hydrophobicity, translucency, mechanical properties, polymerization shrinkage and shrinkage stress, degradation, water imbibition, and antimicrobial properties were determined. RESULTS Overall the experimental composites had comparable mechanical properties and lower volumetric polymerization shrinkage and shrinkage stress as compared to BisGMA:TEGDMA controls. Addition of PFOEA increased composite hydrophobicity, but it decreased degree of cure, ultimate transverse strength, and translucency. It also decreased polymerization shrinkage and shrinkage stress. The use of the CQ/EDMAB/Borate initiator system was beneficial for the cure and mechanical properties of the 30% w/w PFOEA group. However, it decreased the hydrophobicity and translucency of those composites. The addition of EP5001, at the low concentration used in this work, did not contribute to reduced polymerization volumetric shrinkage or antimicrobial properties, but it did reduce shrinkage stress. CONCLUSIONS A mechanically viable hydrophobic composite system with reduced polymerization shrinkage and shrinkage stress has been developed by adding PFOEA and EP5001. However, the addition of EP5001 did not render the composite antimicrobial due to the low concentration used. Further research is needed to determine the lowest concentration at which EP5001 provides antimicrobial activity. The composites developed here have the potential to improve longevity of traditional BisGMA:TEGDMA composite systems.

Novel Multifunctional Epoxy (Meth)Acrylate Resins and Coatings Preparation via Cationic and Free-Radical Photopolymerization. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13111718.

Abstract
In this work, a series of novel multifunctional epoxy (meth)acrylate resins based on a low-viscosity aliphatic triepoxide triglycidyl ether of trimethylolethane (TMETGE) and acrylic acid (AA) or methacrylic acid (MMA) have been synthesized. Thanks to the performed modification, the obtained prepolymers have both epoxides as well as carbon–carbon double bonds and differ in their amount. The obtained results indicate that the carboxyl-epoxide addition esterification occurs in the presence of a catalyst (triphenylphosphine) at a temperature of 90 °C, whilst the required degree of conversion can be achieved simply by varying both the reagents ratio and reaction time. The structure of synthesized copolymers was confirmed by spectroscopic analyses (FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR) and studied regarding its nonvolatile matter content (NV), acid value (PAVs), as well as its epoxy equivalent value (EE). Due to the presence of both epoxy and double carbon–carbon pendant groups, one can apply two distinct mechanisms: (i) cationic ring-opening polymerization or (ii) free-radical polymerization to crosslink polymer chains. Synthesized epoxy (meth)acrylate prepolymers were further employed to formulate photocurable coating compositions. Hence, when cationic photoinitiators were applied, polyether-type polymer chains with pending acrylate or methacrylate groups were formed. In the case of free-radical polymerization, epoxy (meth)acrylates certainly formed a poly(meth)acrylate backbone with pending epoxy groups. Further, photopolymerization behavior and properties of cured coatings were investigated regarding some structural factors and parameters. Moreover, reaction rate coefficients of photo-cross-linking by both cationic ring-opening and free-radical photopolymerization of the received epoxy (meth)acrylate resins were determined via real-time infrared spectroscopy (RT-IR). Lastly, basic physicomechanical properties, such as tack-free time, hardness, adhesion, gloss, and yellowness index of cured coatings, were evaluated.

Abstract
AbstractIn this study, a new type of prepreg technology has been established using a dual curing system consisting of 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) and frontally polymerisable components based on the epoxide resin. The study of the polymerisation of HDDA revealed (tert-butylcyclohexyl)peroxydicarbonate (BCPC) as the most suitable radical thermal initiator. The presence of BCPC resulted in a fast radical polymerisation of HDDA and no cationic ring-opening reaction of the epoxy, which was observed by monitoring the double bond and epoxy group conversion in real time-NIR rheology measurement. The formed prepreg can subsequently be cured by radical-induced cationic frontal polymerisation of the epoxy resin. Effects of HDDA amount on the radical polymerisation, stiffness of the gel, frontal parameters and thermal mechanical properties of final polymers were investigated. With 10 wt% HDDA, the formed prepreg has very good storage stability, which was proved by monitoring the epoxy group conversion during 4 months of storage at 50 °C while still a stable front can be obtained. Furthermore, the RICFP-prepregs with different fibre contents were prepared and polymerised by RICFP. Then, a snowflake composite was successfully produced using RICFP-prepreg.

Abstract
The photoinduced polymerization of monomers is currently an essential tool in various industries. The photopolymerization process plays an increasingly important role in biomedical applications. It is especially used in the production of dental composites. It also exhibits unique properties, such as a short time of polymerization of composites (up to a few seconds), low energy consumption, and spatial resolution (polymerization only in irradiated areas). This paper describes a short overview of the history and classification of different typical monomers and photoinitiating systems such as bimolecular photoinitiator system containing camphorquinone and aromatic amine, 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione, phosphine derivatives, germanium derivatives, hexaarylbiimidazole derivatives, silane-based derivatives and thioxanthone derivatives used in the production of dental composites with their limitations and disadvantages. Moreover, this article represents the challenges faced when using the latest inventions in the field of dental materials, with a particular focus on photoinitiating systems based on iodonium salts. The beneficial properties of dental composites cured using initiation systems based on iodonium salts have been demonstrated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the performance of thiol Michael photocurable composites based on ester-free thiols and vinyl sulfonamides of varying monomer structures and varied filler loadings and to contrast the properties of the prototype composites with conventional BisGMA-TEGDMA methacrylate composite. METHODS Synthetic divinyl sulfonamides and ester-free tetrafunctional thiol monomers were utilized for thiol-Michael composite development with the incorporation of thiolated microfiller. Polymerization kinetics was investigated using FTIR spectroscopy. Resin viscosities were assessed with rheometry. Water uptake properties were assessed according to standardized methods. Thermomechanical properties were analyzed by dynamic mechanical analysis. Flexural modulus/strength and flexural toughness were measured on a universal testing machine in three-point bending testing mode. RESULTS The vinyl sulfonamide-based thiol-Michael resin formulation demonstrated a wide range of viscosities with a significant increase in the functional group conversion when compared to the BisGMA-TEGDMA system. The two different types of vinyl sulfonamide under investigation demonstrated significant differences towards the water sorption. Tertiary vinyl sulfonamide did not undergo visible swelling whereas the secondary vinyl sulfonamide composite swelled extensively in water. With the introduction of rigid monomer into the polymer matrix the glass transition temperature increased and so increased the toughness. Glassy thiol-Michael composites were obtained by ambient curing. SIGNIFICANCE Employing the newly developed step-growth thiol-Michael resins in dental composites will provide structural uniformity, improved stability and lower water sorption.

Abstract
The marine plastic pollution has drastic effect on marine species. The importance in environmental issues increases the demand to develop a significant technology which does not burden the marine environment or marine life forms. To mitigate the foreseen problems of micro and nanoplastic contamination, different biotechnological solutions has to be considered. Microbial communities exposed to plastic contaminated sites can adapt and form dense biofilms on the plastic surface and produce active catalytic enzymes. These enzymes can be able to degrade the synthetic polymers. In view of their high catalytic activity, microbial enzymes can be applicable for the degradation of synthetic polymers. This review highlights the toxicity of micro and nanoplastics on marine organisms, biodegradation of plastics and futuristic research needs to solve the issues of plastic pollution in marine environment.
