Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate poly(isobutyl methacrylate) as a potential denture base material. It was found to have very low water absorption but poor mechanical properties and a low glass transition temperature. The latter features render the material itself unsuitable for use as a denture base material, but indicated that isobutyl methacrylate may be a useful co-monomer for reducing water absorption.
