The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a dental resin-modified glass ionomer composition comprising a polymerizable polyacidic polymer, wherein the process comprises the following steps as further defined in claim 1.

Provided herein is a non-naturally occurring microbial organism having a methanol metabolic pathway that can enhance the availability of reducing equivalents in the presence of methanol. Such reducing equivalents can be used to increase the product yield of organic compounds produced by the microbial organism, such as 3-hydroxyisobutyrate or MAA. Also provided herein are methods for using such an organism to produce 3-hydroxyisobutyrate or MAA.

The present invention relates to a superabsorbent polymer showing a low degree of decrease in absorption capacity, and a preparation method thereof. Specifically, the present invention provides a superabsorbent polymer having an excellent rewetting prevention ability such that moisture hardly leaks out under pressure even after a certain time, and a preparation method thereof, by preparing an acrylic resin with a high molecular weight main chain that is evenly cross-linked for maintaining high gel strength by minimizing an amount of an initiator with respect to a monomer.
