CURABLE RESINS WITH REDUCED FOAMING CHARACTERISTICS AND ARTICLES INCORPORATING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to novel curable resins and orthopedic casting materials incorporating such, which experience reduced foaming during cure, decreased set times, and/or increased warm wet strength after cure. The resins contain a stable dispersion of hydrophobic polymeric particles which are responsible for the foregoing benefits. The polymeric particles preferably are made from vinyl monomers.
