The degree of conversion (DC) or methacrylate dental resins is typically determined by spectroscopically Measuring the decrease of the vinyl (C = c) stretching band at 1640cm(-1), ratioed before and after polymerization to all internal standard (aromatic ring quadrant stretching vibration (Ph)) at around 1609cm(-1). While standard methods exist for measuring the intensity of the C = C and Ph peaks from the FTIR or Raman spectrum, these methods either fail under certain Circumstances, or lack a physical basis, being purely based on spectral features. In this study, we present a rigorous method (named rotational isomerism method) for determining the intensity of the vinyl and aromatic bands from the FTIR and Raman spectra of dental monomer mixtures, and compare it to a standard baseline method (SBM) and a standard curve fitting method. Model triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)1:2,2-bis(4-hydroxphenyl)propane (Bisphenol-A) and TEGDMA 2,2-bis(4-(2-hyroxy,-3-methacryloxypropoxy)phenyl)propane (Bis-GMA) mixtures with a series of known C = C Ph molar ratios were prepared in order to simulate the effect of curing. The accuracy of the new method for measuring the DC was found to be as good is the commonly used SBNL The standard curve fitting method was shown to be inappropriate for measuring C = C Pit ratios by FTIR spectroscopy due to its inability to realistically simulate the features of the spectra. The insight gained through the use of this neck method may be useful for the characterization of other methacrylate biomaterials.
