title: [On mechanical behavior of molecular composite resins reinforced with polyaramides. Molecular motion of Oct-PPTA and Ste-PPTA and thermal properties and dynamic viscoelasticity of Oct-PPTA-PMMA and Ste-PPTA-PMMA].
abstract: Molecular composites, composed of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resin as matrix reinforced with polyaramides as a rigid core molecule have been developed to produce a denture base polymer with improved dental material properties. N-substituted polyaramides were prepared via metalation using sodium methylsulfinylcarbanion, followed by the reaction with corresponding octyl bromide and/or stearyl bromide in dimethyl sulfoxide. In these molecular composite resins (called Oct-PPTA-PMMA and Ste-PPTA-PMMA short) compounding 3 wt% of N-octylated-PPTA (Oct-PPTA) and/or N-stearylated-PPTA (Ste-PPTA) to PMMA, their dental material properties were in the order of Oct-PPTA-PMMA greater than Ste-PPTA-PMMA greater than or equal to PMMA. Their polymer properties were analyzed to molecular level, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). The molecular motion of the methyl group of Oct-PPTA proved to be constrained for the rigid main chain by T1 (inversion recovery method) NMR spectra in CDCl3 while that of Ste-PPTA was not affected. The thermal properties of the composites were in the order of Oct-PPTA-PMMA greater than Ste-PPTA-PMMA greater than PMMA by TG analysis, and the dynamic storage modulus values were Oct-PPTA-PMMA greater than Ste-PPTA-PMMA greater than PMMA in the region from rubbery state to viscous flow state by DMTA.
