| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study evaluated the effects of the fluorinated monomer of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFEMA) on the denture base materials. Dynamic mechanical properties over time, wettability, water absorption and solubility were measured. Water absorption and solubility tended to be reduced and contact angle increased. As a result, changes of dynamic mechanical properties of denture base materials reduced with the addition of TFEMA. The results of this study suggest that TFEMA improves mechanical properties and durability of denture base materials over time.
