Mechanical devices, which has been conventionally used for retaining thermo-setting acrylic resin veneers possesses disadvantage of poor marginal sealing and requires rather complicated procedure applying on the metal casting. An application of adhesive resins to overcome these disadvantages was studied. Adhesive opaque resin consisted of MMA, epoxy acrylate, TiO2 and adhesive monomer 4-META was prepared and the adhesive bonding strength between the opaque resin and Ni-Cr alloy which is for crown and bridge works, was measured. As the results, the opaque resin applied on the metal casting with proper surface treatment showed an excellent adhesive bonding strength of 260 kg/cm2. This value did not decreased even after subjected to 300 time thermal cyclings (4 degrees C and 60 degrees C). After a three months immersion in water at 37 degrees C, adhesive bonding strength decreased slightly to 190 kg/cm2.

In this study, biodegradable films were prepared by using corn starch, PVA, nano-sized poly(acrylamide-co-methyl methacrylate) (PAAm-co-MMA), nano-sized TiO2(P-25)/PAAm-co-MMA composite, and additives which are harmless to the human body, that is, glycerol (GL) and citric acid (CA). Nano-sized PAAm-co-MMA was synthesized by the method of emulsion polymerization. Also, nano-sized TiO2/PAAm-co-MMA composites were synthesized by wet milling for 48 h. The morphology and crystallinty of nano-sized PAAm-co-MMA and TiO2/PAAm-co-MMA composite was observed by the SEM and XRD. The physical properties such as tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (%E), degree of swelling (DS), and solubility (S) of biodegradable films were investigated. The photocatalytic degradability of starch/PVA/nano-sized TiO2/PAAm-co-MMA composite blended films was evaluated using methylene blue as photodegradation target.

Poly(methyl methacrylate-butyl acrylate) [P(MMA-BA)]/nanosized titanium oxide (nano-TiO2) composite particles were prepared via insitu emulsion polymerization of MMA and BA in presence of nano-TiO2 particles. Before polymerization, the nano-TiO2 particles were modified by coupling agent. The structure and thermal properties of the obtained P(MMA-BA)/nano-TiO2 composite particles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that there are covalent bond bindings between P(MMA-BA) and nano-TiO2 particles, meaning that P(MMA-BA) and nano-TiO2 particles were not simply blended or mixed up and that there is a strong interaction between P(MMA-BA) and nano-TiO2 particles. TGA and DSC measurements indicated an enhancement of thermal stability. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed that P(MMA-BA) enhanced the dispersibility of nano-TiO2 particles. The dispersion stabilization of modified nano-TiO2 particles in aqueous system was significantly improved due to the introduction of grafted polymer on the surface of nano-particles.

Anisotropic surface modification of TiO2 nanoparticles was achieved applying a Pickering emulsion approach. TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel routes which allowed an excellent control over their size and morphology. The obtained colloids were further used as stabilizers in the formation of oil-in-water Pickering emulsion. For reasons of comparison, also commercially available titanium dioxide nanoparticles (Evonik AEROXIDE TiO2 P25) were used in the functionalization experiments. An organophosphorus coupling agent present in the oil phase coordinated to the surface of the anatase nanoparticles. In such a way an anisotropic surface modification of the particles was achieved which increased the stability of the Pickering emulsion. Spectroscopic studies revealed the presence of organophosphorus coupling agents which exhibited a covalent bonding to the surface of the particles. Thermogravimetric analyses confirmed a lower surface coverage of the particles modified in emulsion compared to those modified in suspension. Reactions of organophosphorus coupling agents containing an additional methacrylate group applying an organic monomer (methyl methacrylate) as the oil phase of the Pickering emulsion resulted in hybrid TiO2@polymer spheres. Spectroscopic characterization of the resulting particles revealed that the phosphonates were coordinated to the TiO2 surface and at the same time copolymerized with the MMA within the oil droplet. Morphological investigations of the isolated final product showed that the material was composed of polymer spheres with the stabilizing TiO2 nanoparticles on their surface.

The photocatalytic removal of arsenite [As(III)] and monomethylarsonic acid [MMA(V)] was investigated in the presence of UV light (350 nm) and aqueous suspensions of ZnO synthesized by the sol-gel technique. Photocatalytic removal of these potent arsenic compounds results in the effective and rapid mineralization to less toxic inorganic arsenate [As(V)]. The effect of ZnO loading and solution pH on the treatment efficiency of the UV/ZnO photocatalytic process was evaluated. The optimal conditions for the removal of 5 mg L(-1) [As(III)] and [MMA(V)] aqueous solutions were observed at catalyst loadings of 0.25 and 0.50 g L(-1) with solution pH values of 7 and 8, respectively. Under these conditions, the activity of photocatalyst sol-gel ZnO was compared with TiO2 Degussa P25 and commercial ZnO catalyst. The results demonstrate that the high adsorption capacity of ZnO synthesized by sol-gel gives enhanced removal of arsenic species from water samples, indicating that this catalyst is a promising material for treatment of arsenic contaminated groundwater.
