Bioactive dimethacrylate composites filled with silver nanoparticles (AgNP) might be used in medical applications, such as dental restorations and bone cements. The composition of bisphenol A glycerolate dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) mixed in a 60/40 wt% ratio was filled from 25 to 5000 ppm of AgNP. An exponential increase in resin viscosity was observed with an increase in AgNP concentration. Curing was performed by way of photopolymerization, room temperature polymerization, and thermal polymerization. The results showed that the polymerization mode determines the degree of conversion (), which governs the ultimate mechanical properties of nanocomposites. Thermal polymerization resulted in a higher than photo- and room temperature polymerizations. The always decreased as AgNP content increased. Flexural strength, flexural modulus, hardness, and impact strength initially increased, as AgNP concentration increased, and then decreased at higher AgNP loadings. This turning point usually occurred when the dropped below 65% and moved toward higher AgNP concentrations, according to the following order of polymerization methods: photopolymerization < room temperature polymerization < thermal polymerization. Water sorption (WS) was also determined. Nanocomposites revealed an average decrease of 16% in with respect to the neat polymer. AgNP concentration did not significantly affect WS.
含有银纳米颗粒(AgNP)的生物活性二甲基丙烯酸酯复合材料可用于医学应用,如牙科修复体和骨水泥。将双酚 A 甘油二甲基丙烯酸酯(Bis-GMA)和三乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯(TEGDMA)以 60/40wt%的比例混合,并填充 25 至 5000ppm 的 AgNP。随着 AgNP 浓度的增加,树脂粘度呈指数增长。通过光聚合、室温聚合和热聚合进行固化。结果表明,聚合方式决定转化率(),进而决定纳米复合材料的最终力学性能。热聚合导致比光聚合和室温聚合更高的。随着 AgNP 含量的增加而降低。弯曲强度、弯曲模量、硬度和冲击强度最初随着 AgNP 浓度的增加而增加,然后在更高的 AgNP 负载下降低。根据聚合方法的顺序,这个转折点通常发生在低于 65%,并朝着更高的 AgNP 浓度移动:光聚合<室温聚合<热聚合。还测定了水吸附(WS)。与纯聚合物相比,纳米复合材料的 WS 平均降低了 16%。AgNP 浓度对 WS 没有显著影响。
