Abstract
The dimethacrylates, EpDMA and BdDMA, which have a bisphenol type epoxy chain and butadiene chain in their main chains, respectively, were synthesized.The properties of the terpolymer composed of EpDMA, BdDMA and MMA monomers were examined.The monomer mixture of EpDMA, BdDMA and MMA was used as the liquid of denture base resin, and the properties of the cured resin were examined.
The polymerization shrinkage of the terpolymer of EpDMA-BdDMA-MMA decreased with the increase in the EpDMA concentration in the cured resin, and the transverse strength and the elastic modulus were greatest at the BdDMA concentration of 0.3〜1 vol%.
The denture base resin produced using a monomer mixture as the liquid, the transverse strength and the impact strength showed the highest values of about 110 MPa and 14KJ/m2, respectively, at the liquid composition of 10 vol% EpDMA, 1 vol% BdDMA and 89 vol% MMA.
