Monomers formulation

Photopolymerization in thin films was carried out at 514 nm, the rate of heat evolution being measured by thin-foil photocalorimetry. The monomer formulation consisted of 85% TMPTA and 15% HDDA, giving a concen-... 

With certain exceptions, cyanoacrylate monomer formulations containing additives e.g. rubbers, high-density neutral resins, silicon dioxide, etc., may hinder accurate and precise analysis using dilution methods. In such cases it may be necessary to prepare samples using destructive techniques, particularly where the levels are very low. Solvent selection for dilution of cyanoacrylate adhesive must be compatible for the entire journey of the sample solution from sample vessel to torch. Failure to do this could cause the cyanoacrylate to polymerise locally and block the entire sample transport system in ICP-OES and can cause serious damage requiring expensive replacements. The solvents suggested in the above dilution methods were found to be satisfactory.

Neutral amino acid ester accelerators should yield monomer formulations having better shelf-life than the corresponding amino acids. This has been established experimentally (39). 

Reactivity of the accelerator employed is dependent on the monomer used in the respective formulation. Whereas compositions containing DEAPAA cure bis-phenol A dimethacrylate monomer formulations fastest, those containing p-(dialkylamino)phenethanol result in the more rapid polymerization of methyl methacrylate monomer-polymer slurries (39). Addition of Bronsted acids (40) to similar systems increases the polymerization rate but, as has been discussed above, reduces storage stability.

Aerobic adhesives are composed of proprietary catalysts, elastomeric domain fillers, and low-vapor-pressure monomers. Formulations derived from this technology do not exhibit the severe sensitivity toward air inhibition shown by other acrylic adhesives. The result is that aerobic adhesives are usable on more porous surfaces and in wider gaps than was previously considered practical. 

These observations on copolymerization of vinyl acetate with n-butyl aaylate are typical of batch emulsi( i copolymerizations. Such reactions invariably suffer from uncontrolled copolymer composition drift and yield copolymers which are heterogeneous in composition to an extoit which is determined by the particular monomers, formulation and reaction conditions onployed. 

The object of the research described in this chapter was modification of the surface properties of polymers for potential use in contact lens applications. Surface modification by an in situ approach required the addition of a surface-active material to the contact lens monomer formulation. During the cast molding operation, this surface-active material should concentrate at the monomer mix-mold interface. If the surface-active agent was polymerizable, the surface properties of the resultant contact lens would be a function of the chemistry of the surface-active material. 

The presence of a surface-active macromer in a contact lens monomer formulation resulted in changes in the surface chemistry and clinical performance of the lens. The SAM was shown to migrate to the interface between the lens monomer and the surface of the molds. However, after extraction of the resultant lens, significant loss of the SAM was observed, most likely due to incomplete polymerization.
