Metal-filled resin composites. II. 1978

R L Bowen, and H H Chandler, and H O Wyckoff, and D N Misra

Various particulate materials were combined with a BIS-GMA resin, and the resulting composites were evaluated. The fillers prevented, altered, had no apparent effect, or accelerated polymerization. Coupling agents also influenced polymerization. Physical properties varied widely with different fillers.
