Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by bioreduction method using aqueous extracts of Boesenbergia rotunda as reducing and stabilizing agents. Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer was utilized to monitor the qualitative formation of AgNPs. The UV-Vis spectrum showed that the spherical AgNPs with diameter of 20-40 nm were formed. The antifugal activity of synthesized AgNPs was investigated using Candida albicans, which was found that the synthesized AgNPs could be used as effective growth inhibitors. The influence of the incorporation of prepared AgNPs on thermal properties of the acrylic denture base material was investigated. Glass transition temperature of filled acrylic resins was studied using the dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The temperature sweeps were performed with tension mode. Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) was used to examine effect of AgNP concentration and thermocycling (1250, 2500, 5000, and 10000 cycles) on thermal stability of AgNP filled acrylic resin denture base materials. Glass transition temperature (Tg) of the acrylic resins slightly increase with increasing AgNP contents. TGA results indicated that AgNP retarded thermal degradation of acrylic resin denture material, and thermocycling did not affect thermal stability of AgNP filled acrylic resin denture material.

This paper reports on a novel, film-forming acrylic polymer resin that exhibits low-gloss surface and high transparency via controlling film morphology at sub-micron roughness levels. Such microstructure is controlled by means of the copolymerization process increasing the allyl methacrylate (AMA) crosslinker content from 0 to 0.4 wt %. This acrylic resin makes it possible to avoid high loadings of matting agents, while also having good abrasion resistance and soft-touch feeling. Gloss levels of as low as 4 units at 60° incident angle and light transmittance of up to 85% have been achieved. The chemical structure of the aqueous acrylic resin was characterized by ATR-FTIR and NMR spectroscopy. The film morphology and surface roughness were measured by SEM and AFM analysis. The emulsion particle morphology and glass transition temperature were obtained by TEM and DSC, respectively. The effects of the crosslinker content on the light transmittance, glass transition temperature, and thermal degradation stability were also discussed in detail. The characterization results conclude that an acrylic polymer with interesting optical properties and high thermal stability can be obtained, which is desirable for leather applications.

In this work, lawsonia pigment obtained from Henna leaves was mixed with acrylic resin and a mixture of acrylic and dammar resins (RD50%) to form two paint systems BC30% and BDP30%. The two paint systems were characterized by potential-time measurements, impact resistance, glass transition temperature (Tg) and cross hatch tests.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of acrylic resin polymerized by microwave energy in short cycle of polymerization.Methods: Two brands (Classico and VIPI) and two cycles were evaluated (manufacturer cycle and short cycle). The characteristics and properties as degree of conversion, glass transition temperature, impact strength-Izod, Knoop hardness, swelling degree, soluble fraction, specific mass, water sorption and solubility were evaluated.Results: Glass transition temperature, hardness, specific mass, soluble fraction and solubility were statistically significant between cycles and brands (p<0.05). Water sorption showed no difference between cycles (p>0.05) and impact strength presented difference between brands in short cycle (p<0.05). Acrylic resin polymerized by microwave energy with manufacturer cycle presented no difference in physicochemical properties between evaluated brands. Conclusion: The short cycle of polymerization showed reduced properties in microwave acrylic resin when compared to manufacturer cycle. Manufacturer cycle of polymerization should be used to acrylic resin devices production.
