Polyurethane elastomers as maxillofacial prosthetic materials.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of polyurethane elastomers based on an aliphatic diisocyanate and a polyether macroglycol was polymerized with various cross-link densities and OH/NCO ratios. Stoichiometries yielding between 8,600 and 12,900 gm/mole/crosslink and an OH/NCO ratio of 1.1 resulted in polymers with the low modulus, yet high strength and elongation necessary for maxillofacial applications.

OBJECTIVES Maxillofacial prosthetic materials are used to replace facial parts lost through disease or trauma. Silicone rubbers are the materials of choice, however it is widely accepted that these materials do not possess ideal properties. The objective of this study was to assess the properties of a range of commercially available silicone rubber maxillofacial materials and make recommendatio...
متن کاملElastomers for maxillofacial applications.
Systematic evaluations of the properties of prosthetic facial materials began to appear in 1969 with a report by Cantor et a/. ’ They reported that plasticized poly(methyl methacrylate) was the best material with respect to resistance to tearing and degree of elongation. A year later, Walter2 reported the specific gravity, water sorption, thermal conductivity, strain in compression, and permane...
متن کاملInfluences of NCO/OH and triol/diol Ratios on the Mechanical Properties of Nitro-HTPB Based Polyurethane Elastomers
The present study describes the effect of NCO/OH and triol/diol ratios on the mechanical properties of Nitro functionalized Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (Nitro-HTPB) elastomers. The progress of the cure reaction of Nitro-HTPB and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is evaluated by following up the variations in the IR absorption bands of the NCO stretching and the CO ...
