Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a polymeric layer comprising a catechol containing a monomer, polymer, or oligomer, wherein said catechol presents as a catechol and/or as a semi-quinone and/or as a quinone without the presence of a primary amine or a secondary amine; and wherein the polymeric layer optionally comprises a reactive material that is not reactive with catechol or quinone. The present disclosure is also directed to a polymeric layer comprising a catechol containing monomer, polymer, or oligomer disposed adjacent to and in contact with a bulk adhesive layer. The present disclosure is also directed to methods of coating a substrate using the layers described herein.
Claims18
A polymeric layer comprising a catechol-containing thin-film comprised of a polymer containing catechol, semi-quinone, or quinone to enhance the binding strength of a dental adhesive;
- wherein the polymeric layer comprises the reactive species separate from the catechol or catechol containing material;
