Abstract:
Dental compositions are described comprising an addition-fragmentation agent of the formula: wherein R1, R2 and R3 are each independently Zm-Q-, a (hetero)alkyl group or a (hetero)aryl group with the proviso that at least one of R1, R2 and R3 is Zm-Q-; Q is a linking group have a valence of m+1; Z is an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable group; m is 1 to 6; each X1 is independently —O— or —NR4—, where R4 is H or C1-C4 alkyl; and n is 0 or 1. Also described are dental articles prepared from a dental composition comprising an addition-fragmentation agent and methods of treating a tooth surface.
Abstract:
Adhesive compositions and methods of preparing an adhesive composition are described. The method comprises providing a syrup composition comprising a free-radically polymerizable solvent monomer and a solute (meth)acrylic copolymer, and radiation curing the syrup composition in the absence of an ionic photoacid generator. The solute (meth)acrylic copolymer comprises epoxy-functional groups, acid-functional groups, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, an epoxy resin having on average greater than one polymerizable epoxy group per molecule or an acid comprising at least two carboxylic acid groups is utilized. The epoxy-functional groups and acid-functional groups of the (meth)acrylic copolymer or the adhesive composition can readily crosslink in the absence of an ionic photoacid generator (PAG).
Abstract:
Addition-fragmentation agents of the formula are disclosed having the following functional groups: 1) a labile addition-fragmentation group that can cleave and reform to relieve strain, 2) at least two surface-binding functional groups that associate with the surface of a substrate.
Abstract:
A pre-adhesive composition is described comprising an acid-functional (meth)acryloyl copolymer and epoxy resin, which when crosslinked with or without using an ionic photoacid generator (PAG) provides a (e.g. pressure-sensitive) adhesive.
Abstract:
Addition-fragmentation agents of the formula are disclosed having the following functional groups: 1) a labile addition-fragmentation group that can cleave and reform to relieve strain, 2) at least two surface-binding functional groups that associate with the surface of a substrate.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides addition-fragmentation oligomers of the general formula: The crosslinking oligomers of this disclosure provide stress relief by including labile crosslinks that can cleave and reform during the polymerization process.
Abstract:
Imidazo ring systems substituted at the 1-position, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, intermediates, methods of making the compounds, and methods of use of these compounds as immunomodulators, for inducing cytokine biosynthesis in animals and in the treatment of diseases including viral and neoplastic diseases are disclosed.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an ionically crosslinkable composition comprising a (meth)acrylate copolymer component having pendant acid functional groups and pendant photobase functional groups. On exposure to light, the pendant photobase group photolyzes to provide a pendant amine group, that ionically crosslinks the copolymer.
Abstract:
Addition-fragmentation oligomers of the general formula Z—By-A-(B-A)x-B-A-By—Z, where the A monomers units are derived from a diester or diacid, the B monomer units are derived from a difunctional monomer having functional groups co-reactive and at least one of the A or B monomers comprise a 1-methylene-3,3-dimethylpropyl group.
