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.
