Toxicity of methyl methacrylate in dentistry
Methyl methacrylate (MMA), a monomer of acrylic resin, has a wide variety of dental, medical and industrial applications. Concerns have been raised regarding its potential toxicity in dental use, both for the patient and also in the workplace. Dental patients are also exposed to MMA leached from some dental appliances and the effects, at least in vitro,

Wetting of Surface Grafted Hydrophilic‐b‐Hydrophobic Block Copolymer Brushes
The wetting properties of surface grafted diblock copolymer brushes are influenced by the thickness of the hydrophilic bottom block and the hydrophobic top block. The surface adapts in presence of water and the contact angles of the bottom block shine through. Abstract The wetting of diblock copolymer brushes by water is studied.

Simplification of the synthesis of the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer agent 2-(2-cyanopropyl)-dithiobenzoate [PDF]
The general literature procedure for the preparation of the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent 2-(2-cyanopropyl)-dithiobenzoate (CPDB) was modified by omitting the recrystallisation of the intermediate di(thiobenzoyl)disulphide.
