Glass
ionomer cements (GICs) are composed primarily of a calcium fluoroaluminosilicate glass powder and an aqueous solution of a homo- or copolymer acrylic acid [1].
Films made with the
ionomer in the seal layer had the best overall physical properties, including impact resistance, and the highest machine-direction tear resistance--a desirable attribute once the bag is opened.
EEA ([M.sub.n] = 2.3 x [10.sup.4], [M.sub.w] = 6.1 x [10.sup.4]), with an ethyl acrylate (EA) content of 8.53 mol% (2.5 mol/kg), was used as the
ionomer matrix.
It has been proposed that glass
ionomer cements may decrease caries demineralization at margins of restorations.

Raising the flap, the affected roots were cleaned and planed and the extruded GP cut and the roots resected and sealed with glass
ionomer cement to encourage reattachment of periodontal apparatus.

Ionomer Cement (high strength) (GC Fuji II, GC corporation, Tokyo, Japan), Grape seed extract (Falcon international- Bangalore, India) and GC Tooth Mousse -Recaldent (GC corporation, Tokyo, Japan), were used as the test materials.
Now in its 50th year,
ionomer materials technology, including DuPont's flagship brand Surlyn
ionomer resins, continues to enable innovation and transforming products in a wide range of industries -- from golf to packaging, the statement said.
The series encapsulant is DuPont's first
ionomer sheet to be available in convenient roll form, easing storage and handling for large-volume, high-speed manufacturing.
