Abstract
Provided herein are photopolymerizable monomers, optionally for use as reactive diluents in a high temperature lithography-based photopolymerization process, a method of producing polymers using said photopolymerizable monomers, the polymers thus produced, and orthodontic appliances comprising the polymers.
Claims17
An orthodontic appliance comprising a polymer, wherein the polymer comprises a 2-(meth)acryloxybenzoic acid ester monomer of the formula:
- wherein:
- R1 is C3 cycloalkyl, wherein the C3 cycloalkyl is unsubstituted;
- R2 is H;
- R3 is absent;
- X is absent;
- Y is absent;
- and
- n is 0,
- wherein each dashed line represents a bond to a carbon atom.
