The behavior of methacrylic copolymers with oligoethylene glycol and amine groups in aqueous solutions has been studied. eff ect the composition alkoxyoligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylates N-[3-(dimethylamino) propyl] methacrylamide on their solubility media, aggregation properties surface activity at water-oil phase boundary was demonstrated. presence thermo- pH-responsive properties, character...

Because Methacrylic monomers are used in dental work, dental personnel, technicians, and patients are at risk of being sensitized. 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) are commonly used. Allergic test reactions to them sometimes appear beyond D7. This study was designed to study the development and course of positive test reactions to 2-HEMA and EGDMA i...

The polymerization of 1-3 M 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) initiated by riboflavin/triethanolamine system has been studied in the pH range 6.0-9.0. An approximate measure of the kinetics of the reaction during the initial stages (~5% HEMA conversion) has been made to avoid the effect of any variations in the volume of the medium. The concentration of HEMA in polymerized solutions has been d...

This study presents the development of a novel solid state photocatalyst for the photoinduced controlled radical polymerization of methacrylates under mild UV irradiation (λmax ≈ 365 nm) in the absence of conventional photoinitiators, metal-catalysts or dye sensitizers. The photocatalyst design was based on our previous finding that organic amines can act in a synergistic photochemical reaction...

The Co(II) ion in the title complex, [Co(2)(C(4)H(5)O(2))(4)(C(15)H(13)N(5))(2)]·2H(2)O, has a distorted square-planar coordination formed by the bridging bidentate N,N'-di-4-pyridylpyrid-ine-2,6-diamine (dapmp) ligands and two monodentate carboxyl-ate groups from methacrylates. Two dapmp ligands bridge two Co atoms, forming a dinuclear complex arranged around an inversion centre. N-H⋯O and O-H...

This review aims at making the state of the art of the radical polymerizations of glycerol-based monomers, especially (meth)acrylate and vinylic/allylic derivatives. Acrylate and methacrylate derivatives bearing numerous secondary groups like ester, cyclocarbonate, acetal and urethane were involved in free radical polymerization and radical controlled polymerizations as well as in the photopoly...

Drug release from a swelling hydrogel matrix is a complicated process where diffusion of drug molecules is coupled to the swelling kinetics. The swelling influences the diffusional flux of drug molecules by increasing the diffusion coefficient and diffusional pathlength. Release of phenylpropanolamine from apoly(hydroxyethy1 methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) hydrogel, initially at low pH, is hi...
