Stereolithography is a lithography-based additive manufacturing technology, in which liquid photoreactive resins are solidified by ultraviolet or visible light layer-wise approach. Additive technologies used personalized medicine, for example, the production of otoplastics, dentistry, prosthetics but also tissue engineering. Here, biocompatibility produced parts mandatory. In this work chemistr...

Aspects of the molecular-level basis for the function of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and trimethylolproprane trimethacrylate crosslinked methacrylic acid copolymers molecularly imprinted with (S)-propranolol have been studied using a series of all-component and all-atom molecular dynamics studies of the corresponding prepolymerization systems. The crosslinking agents were observed to contrib...

To investigate the effect of prepolymerization warming on composites' mechanical properties, three composites were evaluated: Clearfil Majesty (CM) (Kuraray), Z-100 (3M/ESPE), and Light-Core (LC) (Bisco). Specimens were prepared from each composite at room temperature as control and 2 higher temperatures (37°C and 54°C) to test surface hardness (SH), compressive strength (CS), and diametral ten...

A new simple, fast, and versatile method is developed to functionalize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) via nanoscale layers of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). The key step based on near-field radical photopolymerization the MIP prepolymerization mixture. This enables fabrication [email protected] hybrid nanoparticles, which are used as substrates for localized surface plasmon resonance surfac...

Contact lenses can be functionalized to offer advanced capabilities transcending their primary applications in vision correction and cosmetics. Herein, 40 60 nm spherical silver nanoparticles (SNPs) are integrated within poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) contact toward fabrication of SNP-loaded with excellent optical material properties as wearables for blue-yellow color deficiency (CVD...

A simple two-steps polymerization method was used to prepare a polyacrylamide hydrogel with a full interpenetrating network structure based on the sorption and porous properties of polyacrylamide superabsorbent. In conditions of 10 g acrylamide monomer, 0.04 g crosslinker for the first polymerization and the second polymerization, respectively, and the swelling ratio of 9, the hydrogel possesse...

Effective non-covalent molecular imprinting on a polymer depends the extent of non-bonded interactions between template and other molecules before polymerization. Here, we first determine functional monomers that can yield doxycycline-imprinted hydrogel based hydrogen bond at prepolymerization step, revealed by dynamics (MD) simulations, docking, simulated annealing methods. Then, acrylic acid ...
