title: Silane coupling agents in stainless steel and polymethyl methacrylate systems.
abstract: Smooth stainless steel rods coated with silanes were embedded in acrylic resin dough. The strength of the bond between treated rods and polymerized resin was improved compared with that found in the untreated rods under all conditions of the tests. The strength increased with age when specimens were left in air; immersion in water lessened the increase in strength.
