Dimethacrylate monomers with varied fluorine contents and distributions

摘要

Objectives: There are many unique properties associated with fluorinated polymers that make these materials attractive for use in the challenging oral environment. This study was devised to better define the influence of fluorine content and its structural distribution on properties of fluorinated resins and composites, especially with regard to their water-related and mechanical properties. Methods; A series of fluorinated dimethacrylate monomers was prepared by reaction of aromatic diepoxides with fluoroalcohols and Subsequent conversion of the resulting diols to the methacrylates.
