Biomimetic High Filler Content Composites using Bisphenol-A

摘要

Biomimetic composites of Bisphenol-A ethoxy diacrylate with 77-86 % fillers content were prepared by in situ polymerization using two compacting techniques. Centrifugating produced more compacted composites compared with a compression moulding method. Either method was much different from natural formation from layer-by-layer construction, however the composites formed were of high filler content, without achieving the 95 %-w/w level in nature. The filler space was efficiently filled by using a combination of nano and microsize fillers. The composites were effectively compacted so that wetting and adhesion at the resin-filler interface would provide optimum cohesion.
