Abstract
An emulsion of a polymer, in which the polymer comprises (a) a recurring unit derived from a (meth)acrylate and (b) a recurring unit derived from a vinyl compound having a group of --SO.sub.3 R in which R is a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal atom or ammonium ion. The emulsion forms a film on an adherend to decrease the infiltration into the adherend, exhibits an adhesion force to a hydroxyapatite structure, a cement, a metal or a mineral when it is applied thereto to form a film by only drying around room temperature without washing it with water, and exhibits excellent affinity to a radical-polymerizable acrylic resin composition.
Claims2
An anti-hypersensitive film formed on dentin from an emulsion containing the emulsion of a polymer obtained by emulsion-polymerizing (meth)acrylate in the presence of the emulsion of a polymer as an emulsifying agent, said polymer of the latter emulsion as the emulsifying agent being obtained by emulsion-polymerizing (a) a (meth)acrylate and (1) a vinyl compound having a group --SO.sub.3 R in which R is a hydrogen atom in the absence of a soap in an (a):(1) molar ratio of 99.1 to 50:50, and at least one low molecular weight acid selected from the group consisting of citric acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid and EDTA.
An anti-hypersensitive film formed on dentin from an emulsion containing the emulsion of a polymer obtained by emulsion-polymerizing (meth)acrylate in the presence of the emulsion of a polymer as an emulsifying agent, said polymer of the latter emulsion as the emulsifying agent being obtained by emulsion-polymerizing (a) a (meth)acrylate and (1) a vinyl compound having a group --SO.sub.3 R in which R is an alkali metal atom or ammonium ion in the absence of a soap in an (a):(b1) molar ratio of 99:1 to 50:50, and thereafter converting said group --SO.sub.3 R to an --SO.sub.3 H group, and at least one low molecular weight acid selected from the group consisting of citric acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid and EDTA.
