The present invention relates to an adhesive composition for hard tissue repair and kit thereof for hard tissue repair. More particularly, the present invention relates to an adhesive composition for hard tissue repair having high curability and adhesion properties and, to a polymerization initiator composition for the adhesive, which has improved safety against ignition when adhered to paper or the like.
It is well known that the adhesion composition with trialkylboron as a polymerization initiator exhibits good adhesion to body hard tissues (see patent literature 1). Trialkylboron is an extremely unstable substance in air, and reacts vigorously with oxygen to ignite spontaneously when exposed to air, and thus not suitable for general clinical use. Therefore, various techniques have been developed for improving the safety of trialkylboron.
Patent literature 2 discloses a method for improving the safety against easy ignition by adding hydrophobic and viscous substances such as vaseline, paraffin wax and organosilicon, i.e., silicone oil, to trialkylboron or derivatives thereof, adding adsorbents such as silicic acid and alumina, if desired, and making into paste.
Patent literature 3 discloses a dental or surgical adhesive using partially oxidized trialkylboron as a polymerization initiator, a product obtained by reacting trialkylboron with 0.3 to 0.9 moles of oxygen. Although, the invention of patent literature 3 proposes a polymerization initiator that minimizes the activity of trialkylboron to improve the safety against ignition, it is difficult to obtain a reactant of a certain composition since this polymerization initiator results from a liquid-gas reaction of trialkylboron with oxygen, thereby leading to the instability of the curing rate of the adhesive using it as the initiator and inhibiting ignition incompletely.
Patent literature 4 discloses a polymerization initiator obtained in a homogeneous mixture by adding organic oligomers or organic polymers such as silicone oil, wax, oligoester, oligoamide, and the like to an organoboron compound. The addition of large amounts of additives tends to cause a decrease in polymerization initiation activity, and an increase in viscosity affects the correct measuring.
Patent literature 5, 6 propose a method for improving the safety against ignition by adding polymer powder of alkyl (meth)acrylate to tributylboron or partially oxidized tributylboron to prepare a paste initiator. The addition of large amounts of additives tends to cause a reduction in polymerization initiation activity, and the paste initiator is difficult to correct measuring.
With respect to the ignition of trialkylboron, Patent literature 7 proposes a mixture based on oxyalkylalkylboron obtained by reacting trialkyl boron with an alkyl alcohol, or further adding a polar organic compound or an inert diluent material to the mixture to improve the safety of the polymerization initiator, but it is not sufficient.
Patent literature 8 proposes a method for improving the safety by adding an aprotic solvent or further adding an inert liquid or a solid organic oligomer or polymer to tributylboron or partially oxidized tributylboron. However, the addition of large amounts of additives tends to result in reduced activity of the polymerization initiator and sometimes leads to an increase in the viscosity of the initiator composition due to the addition of the organic oligomer or polymer, which causes difficulty in accurately measuring the amount.
Patent literature 9 proposes the addition of specific amounts of alkanes and alcohols to tributylboron or partially oxidized tributylboron to inhibit ignition and improve the safety. However, the effect of paraffins remaining in the adhesive that cannot be absorbed and decomposed by the human body on the health of the human body is unknown when the initiator is used, and the addition of large amounts of additives results in a reduction in the activity of the polymerization initiator.
To sum up, there is still a room for the improvement in the initiator or initiator composition of the adhesive composition for hard tissue repair of the prior art in terms of use safety, use convenience, and biosafety.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a polymerization initiator composition which does not cause smoking, coking or exhibits ignition even when contacting paper, porous fibers or the like in the air, has high flowability, can be easily and accurately measured in a small amount, reduces adverse effects on the human body, and can impart high polymerization activity to the polymerizable composition so as to cure the polymerizable composition in a short time, thereby an adhesive composition suitable for hard tissue repair is provided.
In order to achieve the above object, an organoboron compound with a high purity and a specific structure and a small amount of specific alcohol are used to inhibit ignition and maintain its high flowability and high polymerization activity, and thus, the present invention was accomplished. The technical embodiments adopted by the invention are as follows:
An adhesive composition for hard tissue repair, characterized in that it comprises:
The present invention can provide a polymerization initiator which does not cause smoking, coking or exhibits ignition even when contacting paper, porous fibers or the like in the air, has high flowability, can be easily and accurately measured in a small amount, reduces adverse effects on the human body, and can impart high polymerization activity to the polymerizable composition so that the polymerizable composition is cured within a short time, thereby an adhesive suitable for hard tissue repair is provided.
Based on the common knowledge, reaction activity of alkylboron with oxygen, i.e., ignitability is believed to be proportional to its polymerization initiation property. However, surprisingly, the polymerization initiator of the present invention comprising alkoxydialkyl boron of high purity and a small amount of specific alcohol having lower ignition than trialkylboron and partially oxidized trialkylboron has equivalently high polymerization initiation property. The reason for this is not clear, but as one of the reasons, it is speculated that the reaction between alkoxydialkylboron of high purity of the present invention and oxygen is relatively mild compared to trialkylboron and partially oxidized trialkylboron, and the proportion of the primary free radicals generated that are consumed by the mutual reaction without being used for the polymerization initiation is relatively small, so the generated free radicals can be effectively used for polymerization initiation.
As shown in example 1, example 2 and comparative example 1 and comparative example 2 in table 1, when the partially oxidized tributylboron and the mixture of butoxydibutylboron are contacted with the filter paper, the filter paper can be coked and even ignited, while the polymerization initiator of the present invention comprising the high-purity butoxydibutylboron and a small amount of ethanol has no smoking phenomenon and also does not cause coking or ignition of the filter paper when contacting the filter paper, at the same time, has polymerization activity equivalent to those of partially oxidized tributylboron and the mixture of butoxydibutylboron.

If the monomer (A) comprises the monomer comprising an acidic group, the amount of the monomer comprising an acidic group is preferably 1 to 20% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the total monomer (A).
The polymerizable monomer (A) is present in an amount of preferably 20 to 70 parts by weight, more preferably 30 to 65 parts by weight, and more preferably 35 to 60 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the polymerizable monomer (A), the polymer powder (B) and the polymerization initiator (C). The lower limits of the above ranges are meaningful in terms of operability, penetration of the composition into the hard tissue etc. The upper limits are meaningful in terms of curing rate, early adhesion strength, mechanical properties, etc.
The type of polymer powder (B) used in the present invention is not particularly limited, the polymer powder which is soluble or swellable in the polymerizable monomer (A) of the present invention can be used. As the polymer powder (B), (meth)acrylate ester polymer and other vinyl polymer can be used, wherein (meth)acrylate ester polymer is preferred. For example, homopolymer of alkyl (meth)acrylate, copolymer of between alkyl (meth)acrylates, copolymer of alkyl (meth)acrylate with other polymerizable monomer, copolymer of alkyl (meth)acrylate with alkylene di(meth)acrylate, and copolymer of alkyl (meth)acrylate with diene monomer can be mentioned.

The polymerization initiator (C) comprises 100 parts by weight of alkoxydialkylboron having a purity of 97% or more, 0.2-5 parts by weight of an alcohol having a boiling point of 60 to 180° C.
As specific example of an alkoxydialkylboron, examples can include ethoxydiethylboron, ethoxydipropylboron, ethoxydibutylboron, ethoxydiamylboron, propoxydiethylboron, propoxydipropylboron, propoxydibutylboron, propoxydiamylboron, butoxydiethylboron, butoxydipropylboron, butoxydibutylboron, preferably ethoxydibutylboron, propoxydibutylboron, butoxydibutylboron, more preferably propoxydibutylboron, butoxydibutylboron, especially butoxydibutylboron. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
The purity of alkoxydialkylboron used in the present invention is preferably 97% or more, more preferably 98% or more, and particularly preferably 98.5% or more. Surprisingly, when the purity of the alkoxydialkylboron used in the present invention is above a certain degree and a small amount of a special alcohol, its smoking and ignitability are significantly inhibited, but still retains the equivalent polymerization activity.
For the preparation of alkoxydialkylboron, it can be obtained by reacting trialkylboron with corresponding alcohol. Since the reaction must be carried out under an oxygen-insulated condition and is relatively sensitive to reaction temperature, generally a mixture (primary product) containing target alkoxydialkylboron as main component is obtained. The high-purity alkoxydialkylboron of the present invention is obtained by reduced pressure distillation fractionation of said primary product.
For the preparation of alkoxydialkylboron, it can also be obtained by oxidation reaction of trialkylboron with an oxidant such as oxygen. Since the reaction of trialkylboron with oxygen is liquid-gas heterogeneous reaction, reaction conditions such as gas feeding rate and stirring rate must be strictly controlled. Reaction of trialkylboron with oxygen typically results in a mixture containing the target alkoxydialkylboron as the main component (primary product). High purity alkoxydialkylboron of the present invention is obtained by reduced pressure distillation fractionation of the primary product.
As specific example of an alcohol having a boiling point of 60 to 180° C., example can include, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol or isomers thereof, n-butanol or isomers thereof, n-amyl alcohol or isomers thereof, n-hexanol or isomers thereof, and the like, more preferably an alcohol having 4 or less carbon atoms, wherein ethanol, n-propanol are particularly preferred. These alcohols can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
Based on 100 parts by weight of high-purity alkoxydialkylboron, the amount of the alcohol comprised in the polymerization initiator of the present invention must be 0.2-5 parts by weight, more preferably 0.3-4.5 parts by weight, and most preferably 0.5-4 parts by weight. Based on 100 parts by weight of high-purity alkoxydialkylboron, when the amount of the alcohol is less than 0.2 parts by weight, sufficient smoking and ignition inhibition effects cannot be obtained. When the amount of the alcohol exceeds 5 parts by weight, there is a tendency to reduce the polymerization ability of the polymerization initiator composition.
Preferably, the polymerization initiator (C) is present in an amount of 1 to 20 parts by weight, more preferably 2 to 15 parts by weight, and more preferably 3 to 10 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the polymerizable monomer (A), the polymer powder (B), and the polymerization initiator (C).
The type of filler (D) used in the present invention is not particularly limited and inorganic fillers, organic fillers and organic-inorganic composite fillers all can be used as long as they are insoluble or non-swellable in the polymerizable monomer (A) of the present invention.

These inorganic fillers can be used alone or in combination.
In order to obtain a strong adhesion between the inorganic filler and the resin, it is preferable to use an inorganic filler which has undergone a surface treatment such as silane treatment or polymer coating.
In the composition of the present invention, the amount of filler (D) is preferably 20 to 150 parts by weight, more preferably 30 to 120 parts by weight, especially 35 to 100 parts by weight, and most preferably 40 to 80 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the polymerizable monomer (A), the polymer powder (B) and the polymerization initiator (C).

As a specific example of the polymerization inhibitor, hydroquinone compounds such as hydroquinone and dibutylhydroquinone; phenols such as hydroquinone monomethyl ether, 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, 2,6-di-tert-butyl p-cresol, catechol, pyrogallol, benzoquinone, 2-hydroxybenzoquinone, p-methoxyphenol, tert-butyl catechol, butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene and tert-butylhydroquinone.

Generally, the polymerization inhibitor is added to the polymerizable monomer (A).

The polymerizable monomers (A), the polymer powder (B), the polymerization initiator (C), the filler (D), and all other components included if desired can be contained in three or more members, respectively, and stored in the form of a kit for hard tissue repair.

When mixing these components, the order of mixing is not limited. In view of the more excellent stability of the resulting composition for hard tissue repair, it is preferred that the polymerizable monomer (A) and other components comprised if desired of member 1 are first mixed with the polymerization initiator (C) and other components comprised if desired of member 3, then mixed with the polymer powder (B), or the polymer powder (B) and the filler (D) and other components comprised if desired of member 2.
