==ARTICLES, METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING POLYMERIZABLE DICARBONYL POLYMERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18246103 titled 'ARTICLES, METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING POLYMERIZABLE DICARBONYL POLYMERS

==Simplified Explanation==

- The abstract describes an orthodontic article made from a resin that can be polymerized using free radicals.
- The resin contains a dicarbonyl polymer, which is a type of polymer made up of units of oxamate, oxalate, or a combination of both.
- The dicarbonyl polymer also contains at least two free-radically polymerizable groups, which allow it to be easily polymerized.
- The abstract also mentions methods of making dicarbonyl polymers and how they can be used in orthodontic applications.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An orthodontic article is described comprising the reaction product of free-radically polymerizable resin comprising at least one dicarbonyl polymer comprising polymerized units of oxamate, oxalate, or a combination thereof and at least two free-radically polymerizable groups. Also described are dicarbonyl polymers, methods of making dicarbonyl polymers and method of use for the described polymerizable resin are also described.
