Synthesis and formulation of vinyl-containing polyacids for improved light-cured glass-ionomer cements

Vinyl-containing poly(acrylic acid-co-itaconic acid) copolymers were synthesized and used to formulate light-curable cements containing reactive glass fillers (Fuji II LC). The conditions for light curing were studied and optimized. Effects of molecular weight (MW), grafting ratio, comonomer, liquid composition, powder/liquid (P/L) ratio, glass powder and aging were evaluated. The results show that the vinyl-containing glass-ionomer cements (GICs) prepared in this study exhibit higher compressive strength (CS, 225.6 MPa), diametral tensile strength (DTS, 28.4 MPa) and much higher flexural strength (FS, 116.4 MPa), as compared to commercial Fuji II LC GIC (186.6 in CS, 19.1 in DTS and 57.1 in FS). The optimal light-exposure time was found to be around 10 min, and concentrations of CQ and DC were 0.5% (by weight) and 1.0%, respectively. Effects of MW, grafting ratio, P/L ratio and content of polymer in the liquid formulation were significant. The highest strengths were found for the optimal formulations where the MW was 15,000 (weight average), grafting ratio 25 mol%, P/L ratio 2.7 and liquid composition 50:20:30. During aging, the cement showed an increase of strength over the first week and then no change for a month. SEM analysis suggests that more integrated microstructures and smaller glass particles can lead to higher FS and higher polymer content in GICs leads to tough fracture surface and plastic deformation.     

New Facile Synthesis of 2-Aryloxy-5-(2-furfurylidene)- 4H-imidazolin-4-ones

Many N-heterocycles including 4H-imidazolin-4-ones exhibit biological activities1-3. Some derivatives of 5-(2-furfurylidene)-4H-imidazolin-4-one were found to show good antiinflammatory activity4. They can be synthesized by condensation of furfural with 5- unsubsituted 4H-imidazolin-4-ones or from corresponding oxazolones5,6. However, no synthesis of 2-aryloxy substituted 5-(2-furfurylidene)-4H-imidazolin-4-one was reported. Recently, aza-Wittig reaction has received increased attention …

Weighted two-band target entropy minimization for the reconstruction of pure component mass spectra: Simulation studies and the application to real systems

A method is proposed, on the basis of a recently developed algorithm--Band Target Entropy Minimization (BTEM)--to reconstruct mass spectra of pure components from mixture spectra. This method is particular useful in dealing with spectral data with discrete features (like mass spectra). Compared to the original BTEM, which has been applied to differentiable spectroscopies such as Fourier-transfer infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet (UV), Raman, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), the latest modifications were obtained through: (1) Reformulating the objective function using the peak heights instead of their derivatives; (2) weighting the abstract vector VT to reduce the effect of noise; (3) using a two-peak targeting strategy (tBTEM) to deal with strongly overlapping peaks; and (4) using exhaustive search to locate all the component spectra. A set of 50 multi-component mass spectra was generated from ten reference experimental pure component spectra. Many of the compounds chosen have common MS fragments and therefore, many of the pure component spectra have considerable intensity in same data channels. In addition, a set of MS spectra from a real system with four components was used to examine the newly developed algorithm. Successful reconstruction of the ten component spectra of the simulated system and the four component spectra of the real system was rapidly achieved using the new tBTEM algorithm. The advantages of the new algorithm and its implication for rapid system identification of unknown mixtures are readily apparent.
