EP 2 195 357 B1 Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 2 195 357 B1 Description [0001] This invention is in the field of thermosetting resin compositions for gel coats or molded composites, more preferably gel coat compositions and related components, process for making the said resin compositions, particularly 5 for use in making gel coated articles, process for making gel coated articles, and final articles particularly gel coated articles. [0002] Conventional gel coat compositions, typically formulated from thermosetting resins such as unsaturated poly- ester, acrylate, and urethane type resins and combinations thereof are useful as the exterior paint layer for composite materials such as boat hulls, bath tub enclosures, and the like. A gel coat is a pigmented, filled, and pre- promoted resin 10 (usually unsaturated polyester) which is sprayed with an initiator onto molds from a high pressure spray gun to a film thickness of up to 0.75 mm. The film cures prior to reinforcement with glass fibers and laminating resins. The gel coat should exhibit low viscosity at high shear, should resist sagging, and produce a gel time of 8-15 minutes. For marine applications, the gel coats should exhibit hydrolytic stability and good weatherability. [0003] Unsaturated polyester resins are generally prepared by reacting in a glycol with an unsaturated acid and are 15 then mixed with reactive diluents such as styrene and methyl methacrylate (MMA). The reactive diluents are also used to reduce resin system viscosity. When cured, the reactive diluents become a part of the resin system to produce a rigid cross-linked structure with desirable properties. Conventional unsaturated polyester resin usually contains 45%-35 weight% of reactive diluents and other volatile organic compounds (VOC). [0004] The presence of large amounts of styrene and of other VOC in such resin compositions results in the emission 20 of styrene vapors into the work atmosphere which constitutes a hazard to workers and the environment. In view of this environmental hazard, governments have established regulations setting forth guidelines relating to volatile organic compounds which may be released to the atmosphere. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established guidelines limiting the amount of VOC released to the atmosphere, such guidelines being scheduled for adoption or having been adopted by various states of the United States. Guidelines relating to VOC, such as those of the EPA, and 25 environmental concerns are particularly pertinent to the gel coat and other coating industry which use styrene or organic solvents and these VOC are emitted into the atmosphere. [0005] To reduce styrene content and VOC in polymeric vehicles and formulated coating, researchers try to develop low VOC resin compositions in which VOC in the coating is kept at the lowest possible level. One way to reduce VOC is to reduce the molecular weight of the resin. According to polymer physics theory, the viscosity of polymers in the liquid 30 state depends mainly on the average molecular weight, so it is desirable to reduce average molecular weight for low VOC product. Low molecular weight leads to a lower viscosity and lower styrene need. Compared with conventional resin, which has higher molecular weight and higher styrene content, the low VOC resin usually contains 35% or less styrene and VOC. [0006] The lower molecular weight resin has the advantage of reduced VOC, but it also has disadvantages over the 35 conventional resin. The coating or gel coat made with lower molecular weight resin tends to have poor properties in application compared to the conventional resin. While the conventional resin tends to form a tack-free curing surface, the coating or gel coat or composite surface, more particularly the coating or gel coat made with lower molecular weight resin, tends to remain tacky for long periods of time after application. The surface tackiness is because of the oxygen inhibition on radical polymerization. 40 [0007] To get a non- tacky surface or coating, for example, a film- forming material, such as paraffin wax may be included in the coating composition in order to prevent air inhibition and reduce the monomer vaporization. Paraffin or hydrocarbon waxes tend to migrate to the surface, particularly of the coating, and serve as a film which reduces oxygen penetration at the coating surface. However, the presence of wax on coating surface will reduce secondary adhesive properties when laminate is put onto the coating later. 45 [0008] Low VOC and performance are incompatible characteristics with each other. The improvement of the poor performance and obtaining a tack-free tends to impair the low VOC property. There is a difficulty in attaining both low VOC and good application property. [0009] It is desirable, particularly in view of the toxicity of the styrene monomer and government regulations, to reduce the concentration levels of the styrene monomer from the usual 40% to 50% by weight of the polyester resin to below 50 35% or 30% by weight. However, reductions in styrene monomer concentrations present problems in the polyester resins. The resin viscosity increases at lower monomer content causing difficulties in applying the resins, such as poor spray property and glass roll-out when the resin is sprayed or used in conjunction with glass fibers. In addition, the physical properties of the styrene monomer-reduced polyester resins are also greatly reduced without the use of addi- tional, supplemental cross linkers in the polyester resin. Acrylic monomers, such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate have 55 been added to low or reduced styrene monomer polyester resins for marine grade gel coats and for outdoor applications. However, the result resin is hard to use because of a tacky surface. [0010] In addition, in unsaturated polyester resin, an aromatic diacid, such as isophthalic acid, is generally present to help improve the hydrolysis resistance of the film. However, the presence of the aromatic nuclei causes poor exterior 2 EP 2 195 357 B1 durability to the coating film. The same problem is also presented in vinyl ester resins. Low VOC vinyl esters based on aromatic polyepoxide resin reacted with unsaturated monocarboxylic acid and other moieties are reported in U.S. Patent 6,900,276. While the content of styrene is lower, the presence of the aromatic nuclei leads to unacceptable exterior durability. The vinyl esters based on aliphatic polyepoxides show poor hydrolysis resistance. Both of these vinyl ester 5 resins are not suitable for gel coats requiring good hydrolytic stability and weatherability. [0011] It is therefore desirable to provide new and improved, crosslinkable resin compositions to provide unsaturated, cured resins with better physical and chemical properties and to provide an unsaturated resin composition having reduced styrene monomer at the same time. Several approaches for addressing these limitations have been described in the prior art. These approaches include making polyester modifications using epoxy chemistry, urethane chemistry and 10 acrylic chemistry. [0012] Acrylic resin without aromatic nuclei shows good properties and is developed for many applications including gel coat. Some acrylic base resins have been reported for gel coat formulation. Acrylic modified unsaturated resins are taught in EP 708 157, U.S. Patents 4,742,121 and 6,492,470 teach acrylic resins for gel coat comprising a vinyl monomer and a polyacrylate with various pendant unsaturated group. 15 [0013] The acrylic resins with urethanes have been reported via various techniques. U.S. Patents 5,777,053 and 7,150,915, JP 59157074, EP 0 254 232, and WO 2004/014978 teach the acrylic polymers which contain urethane groups and are crosslinkable by vinyl polymerization. The urethane groups are introduced by reacting hydroxyl group pendant from the acrylate or polyester backbone with polyisocyanate.

One of these materials is polyetheretherketone (PEEK), a high performance polymer recently used in dentistry with favorable physical, mechanical and chemical properties. The purpose of this study was to review the current published literature on the use of PEEK for the fabrication of dental prostheses with CAD-CAM techniques. Methods: Electronic database searches were performed using the terms “PEEK”, “CAD-CAM”, “dental”, “dentistry” to identify studies related to the use of PEEK for the fabrication of CAD-CAM prostheses. The search period spanned from January 1990 through February 2020. Both in vivo and in vitro studies in English were eligible. Review articles and the references of the included publications were searched to identify relevant articles. Results: A great number of in vitro studies are available in the current literature pointing out the noticeable properties of PEEK. The use of PEEK has been recommended for a wide range of CAD-CAM fabricated fixed and removable dental prostheses. PEEK was additionally recommended for occlusal splints, intra-radicular posts, implant abutments, customized healing abutments and provisional restorations. However, only a few clinical studies were identified. Conclusions: PEEK could be considered as a viable alternative for CAD-CAM fixed and removable dental prostheses to well-established dental materials.

  • Surface Microhardness, Flexural Strength, and Clasp Retention And
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH Surface Microhardness, Flexural Strength, and Clasp Retention and Deformation of Acetal vs Poly-ether-ether Ketone after Combined Thermal Cycling and pH Aging Salma Mahmoudd Fathy1, Radwa Mohsen Kamal Emera2, Reham Mohamed Abdallah3 ABSTRACT Aim: To evaluate the effect of combined thermocycling and artificial saliva pH on flexural strength, surface microhardness, as well as clasp retention and deformation of two different thermoplastic polymers. Materials and methods: Three groups were created, heat-cured polymethyl methacrylate, acetal, and poly-ether-ether ketone (PEEK) resins. Specimens were wrapped in plastic bags containing artificial saliva with three pH values (acidic 5.8, neutral 7.2, and alkaline 8.3). Two Aker clasps materials (acetal and PEEK), for premolar and molar, were stored in neutral salivary pH. Specimens were subjected to 2,000 thermocycles (5–55°C). Surface microhardness, flexural strength, and clasp retention and deformation were evaluated before and after aging. Data were analyzed by ANOVA, Tukey’s test, Student’s t-test, and paired t-tests (p < 0.05). Results: Thermal cycling at acidic and alkaline pH significantly decreased flexural strength and surface microhardness of acetal. It had no significant effect on PEEK properties. Poly-ether-ether ketone showed statistically significant higher mechanical properties in all groups. Acetal clasps exhibited a statistically significant deformation and a corresponding decrease in retention after thermocycling at neutral pH. Conclusion: Mechanical properties of acetal, as well as its clasp retention and deformation, significantly decreased after combining thermal and pH aging and thermal cycling in neutral pH, respectively. Meanwhile, PEEK clasps were not significantly affected. Clinical significance: Different intraoral variables may significantly affect mechanical performance, retention, and deformation of TMs used for denture base and clasp construction.

The developments in recent decades with dental implants dominate current den- tal research. However, medical contraindications, a negative attitude toward implants, or financial limitations on the part of the patients limit their universal applicability, so the rehabilitation with dental prostheses still makes up a significant portion of everyday clinical practice. Conversely, removable dentures are used in the critical conditions of the oral cavity. There are about 500 strains of microorganisms in the mouth, which form the biofilm in an acidic environment causing several issues, such as denture stomatitis, deterioration of the periodontal status of the remaining teeth, or carious lesions in the supporting teeth. Therefore, it is very important to choose a suitable material for the prosthesis. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is an acrylic resin usually used with a long tradition for prosthetic purposes.
