PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF COPOLYMERS SYNTHESIZED FROM POLYCARBOXYLIC ACIDS

This review article examines the use of polymeric materials in modern medicine, the role of polymers and their properties. In the scientific research paper, the authors present the stages of synthesis of new copolymers based on the radical polymerization reaction, process conditions and obtained results. To date, the most common monomers and oligomers used in dentistry as connecting restoration composite materials are acrylic monomers. Polymeric materials based on acrylic acid are widely used in orthopedic dentistry. Currently, it is difficult to assume that in the coming years any of the newly proposed polymers will be able to supplant them from the sphere of everyday use. For this, there are a number of objective factors, among which the most important is high technology, cheapness, accessibility.
