Uniform uv-curable coatings for 3d-printed orthodontic devices and methods for preparing the same

Abstract

The present disclosure provides novel polymerizable compositions that can produce coating layers on polymeric materials thereby imparting excellent stain resistance. Further provided herein are methods of producing polymerizable coatings, coated devices, and coated polymeric materials. Also provided herein are methods of using polymer coated materials, and coated polymeric materials fabricated via additive manufacturing processes (e.g., via 3D printing), such as orthodontic appliances with increased stain resistance.
