Abstract excerpt
A novel amino acid based dimethacrylate monomer (lysineurethanedimethacrylate, LUDM) was prepared by the addition of hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) to lysinediisocyanate (LDI). The structure was confirmed by FT-IR and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy as well as FAB-MS. Photopolymerized LUDM exhibited low volume shrinkage upon polymerization, good mechanical properties (Young's modulus: 3740 MPa) and high thermal...
