Dispersibility and modification effect of silver-zirconium phosphate in soft lining materials
To investigate the dispersibility of silver-zirconium phosphate(AgZ) antimicrobial agent in silicone denture soft lining materials and the effect on operational performances of silicone soft lining materials.
Methods
AgZ antimicrobial agent was added into silicone soft lining materials using the method of high shear emulsification dispersion.
Dispersibility of AgZ in silicone soft lining materials was observed under SEM, and the attribution of the elements was analyzed by EDS. Operational properties of materials with and without AgZ were tested to find out the effect of AgZ on these properties, including mixing time, consistency, working time and setting time.
Results
Agz were well-distributed in silicone substrate. There was not obvious nano-agglomerates of AgZ in tested silicone materials. EDS spectra showed the mass proportion of Zr in samples was low, suggesting the main content was still silicon compoundAdding AgZ prolonged mixing time of the material. But consistency, working time and setting time of the material was not significantly affected.
Conclusions
The method of high shear emulsification dispersion is capable to make AgZ distribute evenly in silicone soft lining substrate．Adding AgZ will not significantly affect operational properties of silicone denture soft lining material.
