Q

Polysulfide - Addition or condensation reaction?

A

Q

Addition silicone (PVS)

  • Reaction by-products?
  • How does this occur?
A

Technically, hydrogen gas (does not affect dimensional stability)

This results from the residual polymethylhydrosiloxane reacting with itself or moisture

Q

What is the risk of breathing in freshly fluffed alginate powder?

What do manufacturers add to limit this?

A

Can breathe in the filler (diatomaceous earth), which can lead to silicosis

16
Q

Why does alginate have a “gypsum hardener” and what is it?

A

Alginate gelation process produces sodium sulfate which is a gypsum-setting accelerator at low concentration but also a retarder at high concentrations

Gypsum hardener: Potassium titanium fluoride

17
Q

What is the most widely accepted mechanism for gypsum setting?

A

Dissolution-precipitation mechanism

Dissolution of hemihydrate particles in water followed by instant recrystallization to the dihydrate

18
Q

How can you quicken the setting of “α” calcium sulfate hemihydrate?

A

Adding fine gypsum particles (increasing nuclei)
Breaking up gypsum crystals as they form (increasing nuclei)
Decreasing water (increasing the number of nuclei per unit volume)

19
Q

Does increasing water temperature lead to faster setting and formation of “α” calcium dihydrate?

A

No.

Between 0 to 50° C, no change in setting time

As temp of plaster-water mixture exceeds 50° C, a retardation occurs. As it approaches 100°, no reaction takes place

20
Q

Mechanism of “α” calcium sulfide hemihydrate setting expansion

A

Crystals growing from the nuclei can intermesh with and obstruct the growth of adjacent crystals. When this repeats itself with thousands of crystals during growth, an outward stress or thrust develops, producing an expansion of the entire mass.

21
Q

Why is the term hygroscopic expansion not accurate for gypsum setting?

A

Because hygroscopic means absorption/adsorption of water molecules.

In normal expansion, as the crystals of hemihydrate surrounded by water begin to form on the nuclei the water around the particles decreases. This loss of water contracts the crystals together which counteract the expansion. As the dihydrates grow, they will eventually contact each other and the expansion stops.

In hygroscopic expansion, the water around the forming crystals does not decrease. This means the crystals do not contract inwards.
