摘要

This study investigates the effect of polymer-grafted silica nanoparticles on the performance of light-curable dental nanocomposite resins. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-grafted SiO2 (PMMA–SiO2) organic–inorganic hybrid nanospheres were synthesized by emulsion polymerization using 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (MPS)-silanized SiO2 as the substrate and methyl methacrylate (MMA) as the monomer. Successful grafting was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Orthogonal experiments, in which methyl methacrylate (MMA) and silicon oxide were key variables, were conducted to determine the optimal mass ratio, temperature, and time. Subsequently, 65 wt% PMMA-SiO2 nanospheres were added to Bis-GMA(bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate)/TEGDMA(triethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (70/30 by wt%) resins through a photocuring process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images displayed a relatively unclear interface between the inorganic fillers and the resins in the composite. The PMMA-SiO2/Bis-GMA composite resin had the highest flexural strength and the lowest solubility after 1 week of water storage at 37℃. Using these methods, composite resins containing 15 wt% MPS-SiO2 nanospheres in a Bis-GMA/TEGDMA (70/30 by wt%) mixture showed the best overall properties. A comparison with several commercial resins revealed competitive mechanical properties and favorable water sorption/solubility characteristics.
