Physicomechanical Properties of a Technical Polyethylene Glycol-Silica-Based Hydrogel as an Alternative Low Shrinkage Dental Polymer Composite
A synthesized expandable monomer with good polymerization shrinkage properties and the incorporation of silica filler significantly enhanced the mechanical properties compared to pure cured DAPEG 400, with flexural and compressive strengths reaching 10.27 MPa (standard deviation) and 441.42 MPa (SD = 2.80), respectivel...
