ABSTRACT

Pressure-driven and temperature-driven transitions of two thermoresponsive polymers, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) and poly(N-vinylisobutyramide) (pNVIBA)), in both a soluble linear polymer form and a cross-linked hydro-gel form, were examined by a dynamic light-scattering method and direct microscopic observation, respectively. Their behavior was compared with that of protein systems. Changes in some characteristic parameters in the time-intensity correlation functions of dynamic light-scattering measurement of aqueous solutions of pNIPAM at various pressures and temperatures showed no essential differences during temperature and pressure scanning and, as a whole, the motions of polymers in aqueous solutions were similar in two types of transitions until chain shrinkage occurred. The gels (cross-linked polymer gels) prepared from the thermoresponsive polymers also showed similar volume transitions responding to the pressure and temperature increase. In temperature transitions, however, gels showed drastic volume shrinkage with loss of transparency, while pressure-induced transition showed a slow recovery of transparency while keeping the size, after first transient drastic volume shrinkage with loss of transparency. At a temperature slightly higher than the transition under atmospheric temperature, so-called reentry of the volume change and recovery of the transparency were observed during the pressure-increasing process, which implies much smaller aggregation or non-aggregated collapsed polymer chains in the gel at higher pressures, indicating a certain mechanistic difference of the dehydration processes induced by temperature and pressure.

ABSTRACT

A borracha vulcanizada descoberta por Charles Goodyear em 1839 teve grande utilizaçäo na confecçäo de bases de dentaduras até 1936, quando entäo apareceu a resina acrílica para preencher a lacuna estética, e assim alguns problemas foram resolvidos, outros ainda permaneceram como: ciclo incorreto, movimentaçäo dental, alteraçöes dimensionais, dentre outras, diante disto, verificou-se as possíveis alteraçöes dimensionais ocorridas com uma resina acrílica ativada termicamente após polimerizaçäo, por 3 diferentes técnicas, respectivamente denominadas 1) de Tuckfield, 2) de Laboratório, e 3) sob Pressäo. Para esta finalidade, foram construídas 10 muflas padräo, com 10 corpos de prova em cada técnica empregada, totalizando assim 30 corpos de prova padronizados. Apesar de ocorrerem alteraçöes dimensionais por contraçäo de polimerizaçäo entre todas as técnicas descritas, pelas análise estatística concluiu-se que: na aplicaçäo dos testes de Tukey a nível de 5 por cento, ocorreu diferença significante somente entre as técnicas T (de Tuckfield) e P (de Pressäo)

ABSTRACT

Avaliou-se as alteraçöes dimensionais de três marcas de resinas acrílicas termopolimerizáveis quando processadas em forno de microondas convencional, a uma potência média alta (500 a 630W), durante três minutos. As leituras foram feitas imediatamente após a polimerizaçäo e depois de sete dias imersas em água destilada em temperatura ambiente. Constatou-se que näo houve diferença significante entre as resinas Palaton e Acrom-MC, porém a resina Lucitone 199, apresentou alteraçäo significante maior que as outras duas, tanto na primeira como na segunda leituras. O fator tempo foi determinante e todas as amostras sofreram contraçäo imediata e expansäo higroscópica após sete dias. As diferenças existentes provavelmente estejam relacionadas com a composiçäo das resinas e a forma de polimerizaçäo a que foram submetidas
