Supporting data for "Applications of a mussel-inspired monomer in dentin bonding"

The dataset is the supporting data for the PhD thesis "Applications of a mussel-inspired monomer in dentin bonding".    
As a little shellfish globally prevails in the ocean, mussel is featured with its distinctive wet adhesion properties. When in the hostile ocean environment, mussel is subjected to the sudden crashes from tidal waves in different directions, periodic temperature variation, and attacks from attached microbes. Equally, within the intraoral cavities, the resin-dentin interface has to withstand numerous repeated mechanical forces caused by daily chewing activities, provide a solid bonding structure against the hydrolysis threat from residual water or saliva, endure aggravated volumetric stress induced by repeated changes in temperature, suffer from the chemical degradation caused by secondary caries, as well as resist the enzymatic attacks from host-derived proteases and exogenous collagenase. Therefore, a mussel-inspired resin monomer, namely dopamine methacrylamide (DMA), was selected and evaluated in the current research.

该数据集为博士论文《基于贻贝启发单体在牙本质粘接中的应用》提供支撑数据。作为海洋中微小的贝类，贻贝以其独特的湿润粘附特性而著称。在恶劣的海洋环境中，贻贝必须承受来自不同方向的潮汐冲击、周期性的温度变化以及附着微生物的攻击。同样，在口腔内部，树脂-牙本质界面需承受由日常咀嚼活动引起的众多重复机械力的作用，抵御残留水分或唾液带来的水解威胁，承受温度反复变化引起的加剧的体积应力，忍受继发龋引起的化学降解，以及抵抗宿主来源的蛋白酶和外源胶原蛋白酶的酶解攻击。因此，本研究选取并评估了一种基于贻贝启发的树脂单体，即多巴胺甲丙烯酰胺（DMA）。
