Composite Materials for Maxillofacial Prostheses.
Abstract
The purpoe of this program is to develop ultrasoft composite materials to be used as fillers in the fabrication of maxillofacial prostheses. The projected composite systems are elastomeric-shelled, liquid-filled microcapsules. Two experimental approaches were pursued toward making such microcapsules. One approach involves coaxial extrusion of a catalyzed elastomer precursor and core liquid into a receiving bath. The other approach involves interfacial polymerization (e.g., of polyurethane) around droplets of core liquid suspended in a continuum containing reactive materials (e.g., diisocyanates).
