Background: Polymerization shrinkage is an innate characteristic of thermo-polymerized denture base acrylic resin. Volumetric shrinkage is still a problem, although myriad material modifications. Ring-opening oxaspiro monomers have promising volumetric expansions of about 7%. These monomers have diminished the shrinkage in dental filling resins through copolymerization (CP). However, their CP with denture base resins is not reported yet.
Purpose: The aim is to confirm the CP of an oxaspiro monomer with methyl methacrylate (MMA) by radical-cationic hybrid polymerization and to assess the degree of conversion (DC) of the formed copolymer.
Materials And Methods: The oxaspiro monomer was synthesized by a transesterification reaction. The study groups were based on the composition and thermo-polymerization method. The control and E1 groups were thermo-polymerized in water-bath, whereas the E2 group in a laboratory autoclave. Both E1 and E2 groups contained the oxaspiro monomer and cationic initiator. E2 group had an additional radical initiator. The CP and DC were confirmed and assessed by infrared spectroscopy.
Results: Accentuation of carbonyl peak, the disappearance of the spiro-carbon peak, and the appearance of ether linkages in experimental groups confirmed the ring-opening. E2 group had the highest DC.
Conclusion: The oxaspiro monomer successfully copolymerized with MMA and had good DC.

Chemically modified nucleic acids are essential for the therapeutic application of oligonucleotides. In this study, 6'-C-spiro-thymidine exhibiting a fixed torsion angle γ was designed, synthesized, and incorporated into oligonucleotides. The conformational analysis of the 6'-C-spiro-thymidine monomer revealed that its torsion angle γ was in the +synclinal range (approx.

Background: 3,9-Dimethylene-1,5,7,11-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane (DMTOSU) is a double ring-opening monomer that exhibits expansion upon polymerization and may be used as a denture base resin's comonomer to offset or minimize polymerization shrinkage. It's synthesis by transesterification reaction (TE) catalyzed by distannoxane is not reported in the literature. The synthesis became the prime concern because this monomer is hardly available commercially.

A simple, fast, sensitive and reliable method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 13 food contact materials (FCM) regulated substances and non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) migrating into official food simulants. The method has been optimized to quantify the monomers styrene and α-methyl styrene, selected polystyrene oligomers (dimers, trimers) and polyester urethane-based oligomers (PU) cyclic oligomers, as well as cyclic NIAS originating from food packaging such as 2,6-Di-tert-butylbenzoquinone and 7,9-Di-tert-butyl-1-oxaspiro(4,5)deca-6,9-diene-2,8-dione. The method employs liquid-liquid extraction of aqueous ethanol food simulants with dichloromethane, and analysis with gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with a total analysis time of less than 16 min, with limits of detections ranging from 0.
