Abstract
Surface-active amine polymerization accelerators can be prepared by the reaction of poly-epoxy resins with the sodium salt of N-phenylglycine and N-methyl-p-toluidine. These materials are expected to promote adhesion through complexation with surface calcium (or other metal ions), utilizing several chelating groups per molecule, and by functioning as polymerization accelerators for dental resins; they can also function as catalysts for the anionic polymerization of cyanoacrylate monomers.
