title: Synthesis of fluorinated Bis-GMA and its use with other fluorinated monomers to formulate hydrophobic composites.
abstract: Fluorinated Bis-GMA was synthesized and used with other commercially available fluorinated monomers and diluents to prepare hydrophobic composites. The composites were formulated as one-paste systems and were polymerized using blue light. Mechanical properties and water-related qualities were determined. Fluorination generally improved the hydrophobicity of the composites, but there was no clear-cut effect on mechanical properties.
