abstract = "Cavitation erosion of hybrid acrylate composite films with polyhedral oligosilsesquioxanes (POSS) was investigated in this study. The hybrid films are made with 1, 3 and 5 wt% of POSS reagents containing: (a) hydroxyl (POSS-M), (b) both hydroxyl and allyl (POSS-M-A) and (c) methacryloyl groups (POSS-M-Cl). Addition of 5 wt% POSS-M-A caused the highest microhardness increase for 49.8%, in comparison to the pure matrix material. Cavitation resistance of hybrid films, estimated as the time-dependent mass loss, was improved by POSS addition. POSS-M-A addition (5 wt%) contributed to 94% lower mass loss comparing to pure Bis-GMA/TEGDMA film. Scanning electron (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed the lowest surface roughness obtained for composite with POSS-M-A. The improved hardness and wear resistance of the composite films indicated that POSS-M-A filler enhanced interfacial adhesion and reinforcing of the Bis-GMA/TEGDMA matrix.",
