Hardness and degree of conversion of dental restorative composites based on an organic-inorganic hybrid
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, an...
