Figure 1From: Quantum chemical simulation of the silica-anaesthetic, silica-polymer, and polymer-anaesthetic interactions Model structures under investigation. Structures of articaine (1); polymer (2); silica nanoclusters (3, 4, 5); binary composites: polymer-articaine (2-1), silica-articaine (3-1, 4-1, 5-1), and silica-polymer (3-2, 4-2); and ternary composites: silica-polymer-articaine (3-2-1, 4-2-1).Back to article page
