title: Viscoelastic and dynamic properties of soft liners and tissue conditioners.
abstract: The creep compliance and dynamic modulus of two tissue conditioners and five soft liners were determined after storage in water at 37 degrees C. Under static conditions the tissue conditioners functioned like viscous liquids, whereas the soft liners were more elastic. In general, linear viscoelasticity was not observed. Under dynamic conditions, the materials were stiffer.
