Final - Chemistry of Resins Flashcards
macromolecule is a blank
polymer
is alginate a polymer
nope
dentures, restorative materials, pit and fissure sealants, impression materials, cements are all uses of blank in dentistry
polymers
polymer that changes elasticity with heat
thermoplastic
polymer that requires heat to polymerize because it is liquid form beforehand
thermosetting
polymers with only one type of polymer
homopolymer
blank are random, block, and grafted or branched polymers are chain structure properties of this type of polymer
copolymer
glass transition temperature is the temp at which blank occurs
softening
addition in polymerization does not produce blank
byproduct
type of polymerization that produces a by product
step growth/condensation
in dentistry we like polymerization that does/does not create a byproduct
does not
all addition polymerization is initiated by a blank and requires a blank group
free radical, unsaturated
steps in addition polymerization
induction, propagation, chain transfer, termination
induction during addition polymerization has these two parts
activation by free radical, initiation of polymerization by free radical
lengthening of the polymer chain
propagation
propagation requires very blank energy and occurs at a blank velocity with the evolution of blank
little, high, heat
stage of polymerization in which the growing end of a chain is transferred to another molecule
chain transfer
a terminated polymer chain might be blank by chain transfer and it will then continue to grow
re activated
termination of a polymer is accomplished in one of these two ways
direct coupling of free radicals, transfer of H atom from one polymer chain to another
condensation/step growth polymerization is blank compared to addition
slow
common inhibitors of polymerization
impurities, oxygen, methyl ether/hydroquinone
these are often added to resins to reduce their softening or fusion temperautres, thereby resulting in a resin that is softer and more flexible and room temps
plasticizers
bowens resin that is the backbone of resin composites, is very large, very rigid, strong, hard to mold,
bis GMA
more flexible resin than bis GMA and more linear
UEDMA
