Two kinds of polymer coating (acrylic polymer and vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer) added with 5% nisin were fabricated on the paperboards and tested in their antimicrobial activity against Micrococcus flavus ATCC 10240 inoculated into water contacting the coating at $10^{\circ}C$. Vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer giving faster and higher nisin migration presented the greater reduction in the microbial count than the other coating, which endorsed that the migrated nisin is mainly responsible for the microbial inhibition or destruction. There was also a slight effect of the coating polymer itself in the microbial inhibition.

Statement of problem. Acrylic resin is most commonly used for denture bases. However, acrylic resin has week points of volumetric shrinkage during polymerization that reduces denture fit. The expandability of POSS (Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane) containing polymer could be expected to reduce the polymerization shrinkage of denture bases and would increase the adaptability of the denture to the tissue. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare the dimensional stability in the conventional acrylic resin base, POSS-containing acrylic resin base, and metal bases. Materials and methods. Thirty six maxillary edentulous casts and dentures of different base were fabricated. Tooth movement and tissue contour change of denture after processing (resin curing, deflasking, decasting and finishing without polishing) and immersion in artificial saliva at $37^{\circ}C$ for 1 week and 4 weeks were measured using digital measuring microscope and threedimensional laser scanner. Results. The results were as follows: 1. The conventional resin group showed significant (p<0.01) dimensional change throughout the procedure (processing and immersion in artificial saliva). 2. After processing, the metal group and POSS resin group showed lower linear and 3-dimensional change than conventional resin group (p<0.01). 3. There was no statistically significant linear and 3-dimensional change after immersion for 1 week and 4 weeks in metal and POSS resin group. 4. In all groups, the midline and alveolar ridge crest area presented smaller 3-dimensional change compared with vestibule and posterior palatal seal area after processing and soaking in artificial saliva for 1 week and 4 weeks (p<0.01). Conclusion. In this study, a reinforced acrylic-based resin with POSS showed good dimensional stability.

Purpose: In order to find out the impact of changes in polymerization conditions of orthodontic acrylic resin on maximum load. Methods: While maintaining mixing ratio 3:1 of polymer and monomer in spray-on way in the production condition of polymerization temperature $25^{\circ}C$ or $37^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes or 30 minutes of polymerization time by pressure $3kfg/cm^2$ or $6kfg/cm^2$ in the lab maintaining $25^{\circ}C$ of room temperature, the change in maximum load rise rate was tested by producing 5 acrylic resin specimens for orthodontics per group to meet the standards of $25mm{\times}2mm{\times}2mm$ and using INSTRON with the 3rd bar 2mm in diameter and parallel support bending device of $15{\pm}0.1mm$ as test equipment showing 30.00mm/min of crosshead speed, $50{\pm}16$ N/min of load ratio in the laboratory of $24^{\circ}C$ room temperature and as a result, the following results were obtained. Results: 1. When increasing pressure from $3kfg/cm^2$ to $6kfg/cm^2$, maximum load was lowered by -4.285%. 2. When increasing polymerization time from 10 minutes to 30 minutes, maximum load rose by 3.848%. 3. When increasing polymerization temperature from $27^{\circ}C$ to $37^{\circ}C$, maximum load rose by 5.854%. Conclusion: Considering the above test results that polymerization time and polymerization temperature when polymerizing acrylic resin for orthodontics according to changes in working conditions had an impact on the rate of rise of maximum load values but the rate of rise was lowered when increasing pressure from $3kfg/cm^2$ to $6kfg/cm^2$, we came to a conclusion that high pressure more than necessary does not affect the rate of rise of maximum load.

Blends of poly (acrylic acid-co-maleic acid)(PAM) with poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) were obtained by solution blending. The blends were solvent-on to a film to examine thermo-mechanical properties and gas permeability. The transition temperatures $(T_g\;and\;T_m)$ of the blends remained constant regardless of PAM contents. However, the values of enthalpy changes corresponding to melting transition $({\Delta}H_m)$ and initial degradation temperature $({T_D}^i)$ were decreased with increasing PAM content. The values of ultimate strength and initial modulus gave the maximum value at the 12 wt% PAM then decreased with further increase of PAM content up to 15 wt%. To measure the gas permeability of the PVA/PAM blend films, the PVA blend solutions were coated onto both biaxially oriented propylene (BOPP) and poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) films. The oxygen transmission rate $(O_2\;TR)$ permeability values mono- tonically decreased with increasing PAM content. However, moisture vapor transmission rate was not affected by PAM content.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes crosslinked with poly(acrylic acid-co-maleic acid) (PAM) were prepared to investigate the effect of aging on their morphology by swelling them for up to 7 days. PAM was used both as a crosslinking agent and as a donor of the hydrophilic-COOH group. A $30 wt\%$ weight loss of the dry membrane was observed in the swelling test after 6 days. The surface of the membrane was dramatically changed after the swelling test. The surface roughness of the PVA/PAM membrane was increased, as determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The swelling loosened the polymer structure, due to the release of the unreacted polymer and the decomposition of the ester bond, thereby resulting in an increase in the free volume capable of containing water molecules. The water molecules present in the form of free water were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The fraction of free water increased with increasing swelling time. The swelling of the membrane may provide space for the transport of protons and increase the mobility of the protonic charge carriers. The proton conductivity of the membranes measured at T= 30 and $50^{\circ}C$ was in the range of $10^{-3} to 10^{-2} S/cm$, and slightly increased with increasing swelling time and temperature.

UV-curable high refractive index di-functional epoxy acrylate, 4,4'-thiodibenzenethiol diglycidyl ether diacrylate, was synthesized from acrylic acid and 4,4'-thiodibenzenethiol diglycidyl ether that was obtained by reacting 4,4'-thiodibenzenethiol and epichlorohydrin using a direct method (Taffy process). Its chemical structure was identified by $^1H$ NMR and FTIR. After its dilution with a reactive diluent, 2-phenoxythiol ethyl acrylate as 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 wt% content, the relationship between their viscosity and refractive index was investigated. Their degree of cure decreased with increasing the amount of reactive diluent, and the refractive index of UV-cured film increased with increasing the degree of cure.
