PG - 1379-91 LID - 10.1163/092050610X508428 [doi] AB - In this work, a novel tri-methacrylate oligomer, GPTEMA, with three long-branched chain structures was synthesized through the reaction of glycerol propoxylate triglycidyl ether (GPTE) and methacrylic acid. The structure of GPTEMA was confirmed by FT-IR, (1)H-NMR, gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) and element analysis. The GPTEMA was used to partially or completely replace TEGDMA as reactive diluent and applied in a root canal sealant system containing Bis-GMA. The effects of GPTEMA on the polymerization behavior of Bis-GMA/TEGDMA/GPTEMA co-polymer and properties of its polymerizing product were investigated. Polymerization shrinkage, double bond conversion, glass transition temperature, flexural strength, flexural modulus, water sorption and diffusion coefficient of the Bis-GMA/TEGDMA/GPTEMA co-polymer were measured. The results illustrated that the Bis-GMA/TEGDMA/GPTEMA co-polymer attained lower polymerization shrinkage and higher double bond conversion. However, its T g, flexural strength and flexural modulus decreased with increasing content of GPTEMA, water sorption and diffusion coefficient increased with increasing content of GPTEMA.
