  • Patent number: 11879023
    Abstract: The present invention relates to articles comprising crosslinked polymer network comprising thioether crosslinks and process of making and using same. Such thiol-ene crosslinking reactions not only make the isocyanate crosslinking reaction unnecessary, but they also improve the article's strength due to chemical crosslinking between the article's resin layers, and reduce or eliminate post curing. Thus resulting in a sufficiently cured article in a much shorter time.

The inventive compositions include one or more polymerizable resins that are able to adhere to a dental substrate when at least partially polymerized, one or more polymerization photoinitiators in an amount so as to result in partial polymerization of the resin when the compositions are irradiated with radiant energy, and one or more chemical initiators (e.g., benzoyl peroxide) that cause further polymerization of the resin when the composition is contacted with an amalgam restorative. A bonding composition applied to a dental substrate and irradiated with radiant energy is more polymerized in a region adjacent to the dental substrate, while a less polymerized inhibition layer forms in the region of the surface. Packing an uncured amalgam into the dental preparation mechanically disrupts the inhibition layer so as to form peaks, troughs and other irregularities.

  • Patent number: 6617371
    Abstract: A single component liquid heat-curable adhesive formulation that is stable at room temperature. The formulation includes from about 5 to about 70 wt % of at least one acrylate monomer, from about 5 to about 94 wt % of an acrylate oligomer, and from about 0.1 to about 10 wt % of a thermal initiator selected from the group consisting of diacyl peroxides, benzoyl peroxides and peroxy esters. A photo initiator may be included thereby rendering the stable liquid formulation to be both heat-curable and UV-curable.

  • Patent number: 6503959
    Abstract: A photocurable composition comprising (A) an &agr;-cyanoacrylate and (B) a metallocene compound comprising a transition metal of Group VIII of the periodic table and aromatic electron system ligands selected from &pgr;-arenes, indenyl, &eegr;-cyclopentadienyl. The photocurable composition may further comprise (C) a cleavage-type photoinitiator. The photocurability of the photocurable composition can be greatly improved by incorporating a cleavage type photoinitiator into the composition. Even when the composition contains a radical-polymerizable compound such as an acrylic compound, it can be rapidly cured due to the cleavage type photoinitiator contained therein. In the case where the cleavage-type photoinitiator used is a peroxide, heating can also be used to cure the composition. In the case where the cleavage type photoinitiator used is an azo compound, the composition can be foamed by regulating the addition amount of the photoinitiator or the quantity of light with which the composition is irradiated.
