Abstract: The present invention provides a pore-sealing agent and a member of coating a spray deposit. The pore-sealing agent is excellent in permeability into pores (gaps) of a spray deposit and can be favorably filled thereinto and is capable of sealing pores until gaps in a spray deposit material are substantially entirely filled. The pore-sealing agent contains an epoxy group-containing component and a hardener and does not contain a polymerizable vinyl group-containing solvent. The epoxy group-containing component is a mixture containing a polyglycidyl ether compound in which the number of epoxy groups contained in one molecule is not less than three as and, an alkylenediglycidyl ether compound or a cyclic aliphatic diepoxy compound, both of which contain two epoxy groups in one molecule thereof. Excluding the hardener, the mixing ratio of the polyglycidyl ether compound to the epoxy group-containing component of the mixture is 10 to 95 wt %.

Abstract: A hydroxyapatite ceramic hybrid material includes a hydroxyapatite ceramic structure having pores therein and a biodegradable polymer included in the pores in the hydroxyapatite ceramic structure. The biodegradable polymer can be a poly L-lactic acid polymer. A method for preparing a hydroxyapatite ceramic-biodegradable polymer hybrid material includes preparing a porous hydroxyapatite ceramic containing pores having an average pore diameter of 10 ?m or larger; and forming a biodegradable polymer in the pores of the porous hydroxyapatite ceramic. The porous hydroxyapatite ceramic may be prepared by: preparing a slurry comprising hydroxyapatite fibers and heat-degradable particles in a selected solvent; filtering the slurry to obtain a paste; preparing a molded body using the paste; compacting the molded body to produce a green compact; and firing the green compact at a temperature at least 1000° C. to produce a porous hydroxyapatite ceramic structure.
Abstract: A composition for repairing voids or cracks in a cement sheath or plug comprises an aqueous epoxy resin, a hardener, an alkali-swellable material and an aqueous carrier fluid. The particle size of the alkali-swellable material is preferably smaller than 200 nanometers, thereby allowing the composition to penetrate cracks as small as 60 micrometers. A method for repairing voids or cracks in a cement sheath, thereby restoring zonal isolation, comprises preparing the composition, injecting the composition into voids or cracks in a cement sheath or plug and allowing the composition to viscosify and harden.
Abstract: It is proposed a new fluid loss control agent useful for the cementation of oil or gas wells. This fluid loss control agent consists of a mixture of a styrene-butadiene latex and a high molecular weight water-soluble polymer such as a copolymer AMPS-Am. The addition of the water-soluble polymer allows drastic reduction of the quantity of latex required to achieve fluid loss control performance and even gas migration control.

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a radically polymerizable dental material comprising at least two components. A first component of the dental material contains the salt of a CH-acidic compound, and an additional component contains an acid with acidity greater than that of the CH-acidic compound of the first component. Both components contain radically polymerizable monomers. When the two components are mixed, the acid of the second component converts the salt of the CH-acidic compound of the first component into a CH-acidic molecule, and the CH-acidic molecule triggers the radical polymerization of the monomers. In addition to the advantages of CH-acidic compounds in dental materials on the basis of a reactive resin, the invention achieves long-term storage stability as a result of an increase in the proportion of the reactive resin matrix in polymerizable dental materials.
