Composite Materials for Maxillofacial Prostheses.

Abstract

The purpose 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. Experiments continued on the interfacial polymerization process with spherical, sealed capsules achieved. Needs identified are non-inhibition of curing of matrix materials, less diffusion of core liquid through capsule walls, and smaller capsules. (Author)
