1,6-Hexanediol dimethacrylate is a compound that belongs to the class of methacrylate polymers, recognized for its versatile applications in various fields, including biomedicine and materials science. In the biomedical field, 1,6-Hexanediol dimethacrylate is primarily utilized in dental materials, adhesives, and coatings. In dental applications, it is commonly used as a crosslinking agent in dental composites and adhesives, enhancing the mechanical strength and durability of restorative materials. Additionally, its properties make it suitable for use in tissue engineering scaffolds and drug delivery systems, where it can facilitate controlled release and provide a supportive environment for cell growth due to its biocompatibility.
Two high-performance liquid chromatographic methods for determination of residual monomer in dental acrylic resins are described. Monomers were detected by their UV absorbance at 230 nm, on a Nucleosil C18 (5 microm particle size, 100 A pore size, 15 x
To evaluate the compatibility between aged siloranes and methacrylate-based composites by simulating a common repair-technique. Twenty substrates were constructed using silorane (Filtek Silorane, 3M ESPE) and methacrylate composites (Filtek Supreme XT, 3M ESPE). Substrates were aged in 0.9% NaCl solution

A great challenge regarding the ease-of-use of composites involves the development of 'self-adhesive' composites that no longer require a separate adhesive to bond to tooth enamel/dentin. To characterize the interfacial ultra-structure of an experimental self-adhesive filling material bonded to enamel
