Water absorption and water solubility of soft lining materials for acrylic dentures

M Braden et al. J Dent Res. 1983 Jun.

Abstract

Soft lining materials undergo two processes when immersed in water. Plasticizers and other soluble materials are leached into the water, and water is absorbed by the polymer. The balance between these two processes affects both the compliance and dimensional stability of the materials.
