Dental materials on basis of liquid crystal monomers

摘要

Polymerisable liq. crystalline monomers of formulae (I) and (II) are new; R, R' = H or CH3; i, j = 0-18; k, l = 1-10; m,n = 1-30; and p = 0-10. Also claimed is a dental material based on polymerisable monomers which contains polymerisable monomer(s) with liq. crystalline properties (esp. in the range 10-150 degrees C). Pref. the liq. crystalline monomers have 1-6 polymerisable gps. e.g., ethylenically unsatd. gps., epoxide, vinyl ether, 1,3-dioxolan, 1,3-dioxepan, spiroortho-ester or spiroortho-carbonate gps. The liq. crystalline monomers contain 1, 2 or 3 mesogenic gps., e.g., aromatic carboxylic acid esters or steroid gps. (esp. 2,5-aloxy-terephthalate gp.). The dental material contains a deriv. of (I) or (II) as liq. crystalline monomer. It also contains an initiator for the hot, cold and/or photopolymerisation, and/or filler(s).
