UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008689	Methacrylates	Acrylic acids or acrylates which are substituted in the C-2 position with a methyl group.	Methacrylate
D010968	Plasticizers	Materials incorporated mechanically in plastics (usually PVC) to increase flexibility, workability or distensibility; due to the non-chemical inclusion, plasticizers leach out from the plastic and are found in body fluids and the general environment.	Plasticizer
D002627	Chemistry, Physical	The study of CHEMICAL PHENOMENA and processes in terms of the underlying PHYSICAL PHENOMENA and processes.	Physical Chemistry,Chemistries, Physical,Physical Chemistries
D003822	Denture Liners	Material applied to the tissue side of a denture to provide a soft lining to the parts of a denture coming in contact with soft tissue. It cushions contact of the denture with the tissues.	Cushion Liners,Cushion Liner,Denture Liner,Liner, Cushion,Liner, Denture,Liners, Cushion,Liners, Denture
D004129	Dimethylpolysiloxanes	Silicone polymers which consist of silicon atoms substituted with methyl groups and linked by oxygen atoms. They comprise a series of biocompatible materials used as liquids, gels or solids; as film for artificial membranes, gels for implants, and liquids for drug vehicles; and as antifoaming agents.	Dimethylsiloxanes,Polydimethylsiloxanes,Dimethylpolysiloxane,Dimethylsiloxane
D004548	Elasticity	Resistance and recovery from distortion of shape.
D005069	Evaluation Studies as Topic	Works about studies that determine the effectiveness or value of processes, personnel, and equipment, or the material on conducting such studies.

D006244	Hardness	The mechanical property of material that determines its resistance to force. HARDNESS TESTS measure this property.	Hardnesses
D000180	Acrylic Resins	Polymers of high molecular weight which are derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or other related compounds and are capable of being molded and then hardened to form useful components.	Acrylic Resin,Resin, Acrylic,Resins, Acrylic
D012826	Silicone Elastomers	Polymers of silicone that are formed by crosslinking and treatment with amorphous silica to increase strength. They have properties similar to vulcanized natural rubber, in that they stretch under tension, retract rapidly, and fully recover to their original dimensions upon release. They are used in the encapsulation of surgical membranes and implants.	Elastomers, Silicone,Rubber Silicone,Silicone Rubber,Elastosil,Microfil,SE-30,Elastosils,Microfils,SE 30,SE30,Silicone Elastomer
