A BisGMA, TEGDMA monomer mixture at weight ration 2:1 was UV-cured with CQ to form commonly used dental materials. Three types of fillers at different particle size were added at different weight concentrations. Reaction rates k, time vs rate were studied for all the systems.
This paper investigates the curing of biodegradable polymer films which were synthesized from soybean oil through the ultraviolet radiation and their stability against thermal degradation. In this study the epoxidation of soybean oil has been carried out via peracetic method. Further, an epoxy acrylate resin was synthesized from the epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) by using acrylic acid monomer. Triethylamine (TEA) and hydroquinone were used as a catalyst and inhibitor respectively.
