title: [Effect of cross-linking agents on mechanical properties of a fluid resin (author's transl)].
abstract: Effect of several cross-linking agents added to MMA on the mechanical properties of self-cured fluid resins was studied. The cross-linking agents were 2,2-bis (4-methacryloxyethoxyphenyl) propane, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, neopentylglycol dimethacrylate, hexamethyleneglycol dimethacrylate and 1,2-polybutadiene. Their concentrations in MMA were 1,3,5 and 10 wt%. Measured mechanical properties were Brinell hardness, tensile strength, impact strength and transverse strength. The best composition was 5% neopentylglycol dimethacrylate in MMA among studied samples. Microscopic observation of the surface after tensile test suggested that diffusibility of cross-linking agents into PMMA powder affected the mechanical properties. Mechanical properties of both matrix and powder, and their adhesion at the interface had influence upon the mechanical properties of resins processed by powder-liquid method.
