Influence of Plasticizer on Soft Polymer Gelation

Abstract
An evaluation has been made of the soft polymer gel systems of the type used as prosthodontic short-term denture-lining materials. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect upon gel strength and gelation time produced by variations in the composition of the plasticizer liquids. Poly(ethylmethacrylate) co-polymers were mixed with combinations of ethyl alcohol and the esters dibutyl phthalate (DBP), butylphthalyl butylglycolate (BPBG), and benzyl salicylate (BS).
