title: Effect of the curing cycle on acrylic denture base glass transition temperatures.
abstract: Glass transition temperature of a polymer is an important physical property which may have a major effect on the dimensional stability of denture base materials. Thermomechanical analysis has been used to determine the glass transition temperature of specimens of denture base materials which had been produced by various selected curing cycles. It was found that different curing cycles produced variations in glass transition temperature of up to 20 degrees C.
