Abstract
Poly(acrylic acid) [poly(polypropenoic acid)] (PAA) can form stable an d insoluble, colorless hydrogels with HfCl4, TiCl4, and ZrCl4 in water . Two carboxylic groups of PAA are complexed by the M(OH)(2)(2+) ions. Hydrogels formed from PAA-MCl(2)(OH)(2) (where M = Hf, Zr) (2 : 1) ha ve found practical application in the blocking of microscopic channels in tooth dentin, and thereby decrease the fluid permeability and prot ect against tooth decay.
