  • Publication number: 20080032124
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a synthetic body from a synthetic material obtained by radical polymerization, which is coated on one or several sides with an Si-containing or inorganic substance. According to the inventive method, a substrate is coated with a lacquer composition which contains inorganic particles dissolved in a solvent which may optionally also contain a flow-control agent. One or more substrates that are coated in this manner can be used to construct a polymerization chamber, the coated sides facing the interior of the chamber. After radical polymerization of a monomer mixture in the presence of a polymerization initiator and a separating agent mixture the inward inorganic coating is transferred from the substrate to or onto the surfaces of the radically polymerized synthetic material or the corresponding synthetic body.

  • Publication number: 20070003756
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for production of a plastic body, made from a plastic obtained by means of a radical polymerisation with single- or multi-sided, inorganic coating containing silicon. The coating of a substrate is firstly achieved with a paint composition, containing inorganic particles in a solvent which can optionally contain additional flow improvers. One or more of such coated substrates can be used for the construction of a polymerisation chamber, in which the coated sides lie within the chamber. After radical polymerisation of a monomer mixture in the presence of a polymerisation initiator, the internal inorganic coating of the substrate transfers into or onto the surfaces of the radically polymerised plastic or of the plastic body. The invention further relates to the corresponding plastic body and the uses thereof.
