Investigation of Zirconia/Polyacrylamide (ZrO2/PAAm) Based Nanocomposite Hydrogels with Enhanced X-Ray Radiopacity

Article Preview

Abstract:

Zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles with the sizes of 50 nm were prepared via hydrothermal method and utilized to prepare zirconia/polyacrylamide (ZrO2/PAAm) nanocomposite hydrogels through conventional radical polymerization at mild condition. The morphology and crystalline structure of prepared ZrO2 were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the resultant ZrO2/PAAm nanocomposite hydrogels were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and dental ray machines. The results show that the ZrO2/PAAm nanocomposite hydrogels have a certain X-ray radiopacity and stability under simulated human oral conditions, which have the great potential to be used as root canal filling materials.
