RESUMO

This paper presents a factorial design (mixture design) used to analyze the hardness and degree of monomer conversion into composites containing conventional monomers and an organic-inorganic hybrid polymer-based methacryloyloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (MEMO). For this purpose, resins (composites with SiO2) were formulated with the hybrid polymer (polycondensed, pMEMO), and two conventional monomers used in dentistry, bisphenol-A dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA) and triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA). The resins were characterized through the degree of monomer conversion and Vickers hardness, and the pMEMO by means of FTIR and ¹H NMR. The results showed an increase in hardness for resins containing the hybrid material relative to the resins containing only conventional monomers. The mathematical model adjusted to the experimental data yielded an optimized formulation, which presented a higher hardness value (48.88 HV).
