materials purposes findings analytical results ref
MMA, titanium(III)–salicylaldoxime [Ti(IIII)-SAO], 2.0 wt % HQ observation on termination of polymerization initiated by the [Ti(IIII)-SAO] redox system the mechanism of termination was predominantly reciprocal coupling, with a minor contribution from a chain transfer process that involves solvent molecules polymerization time (90 min): (27)
absence of HQ: 80% conversion
presence of HQ: 40% conversion
PMMA, polypyrole dodecylbenzenesulfonate (PPY.DBSA), 1.0 wt % HQ HQ as compatibilizer agent to increase the dispersibility of PPY.DBSA with PMMA in the presence of HQ, optical micrographs indicated a moderate amount of phase separation the thermal events in the blends containing HQ exhibit substantial temperature shifts, indicating more mixing and miscibility than the comparable processes in pure polymers (32)
PMMA bone cement, rifampin (RIF) 1.00 (1.2 × 10–3), HQ 0.13 (1.2 × 10–3) g(mol) characterize the effect of HQ and HQ in RIF incorporation intoPMMA bone cement the HQ structure of RIF was discovered as the polymerization inhibitor based on the radical scavenging experiment and strength testing compared to the control, RIF had much lower strength and remained well below 70 MPa for 14 days, and HQ had lowest moduli (33)
3 wt % of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), BPO, MMA, PMMA, 300 ppm of HQ improving standard PMMA bone cement’s poor mechanical characteristic tensile strength value is improved for PMMA bone cement with HQ and BPO compared to the pure PMMA bone cement tensile strength (MPa): (34)
BPO 0.75%, HQ 300 ppm: 49.9 ± 3.75
pure PMMA bone cement: 44.5 ± 1.78
