A new polymer rigid matrix material.
PRIMM, or polymer rigid inorganic matrix material, is a promising new substance. An original approach to improving resin composites is introduced. Domains of tough, strongly bonded crosslinked ceramic fibers improve physical properties and handling characteristics. PRIMM may be the posterior restoration of the future.
