Abstract
This study evaluated the applicability of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to follow the reactions of 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) with water and between MPTMS and non-hydroxylated dental monomers, e.g., ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA) and urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA). The photo-polymerization kinetics of the reaction products were followed by real time NIR spectroscopy. For comparison, the reactions of MPTMS with water forming oligomeric silsesquioxane (OMPTMS), and MPTMS with Bis-GMA or a Bis-GMA/TEGDMA mixture were studied under similar conditions. Neat UDMA monomer has the highest reactivity, followed by the OMPTMS-free Bis-GMA/TEGDMA resin. The comonomer mixtures prepared from MPTMS oligomerized in UDMA or Bis-GMA/TEGDMA showed lower, but still reasonably high reactivities.The somewhat lower conversion of the OMPTMS containing monomer mixtures are, however, of lesser concern, because of the potential advantage of the high-molecular weight oligomers, which may increase the toughness of the resin based dental products, while reducing the polymerization shrinkage and shrinkage related stresses.
