Influences of TiO2 and SiO2 nanofillers on the hardness and surface roughness of maxillofacial silicone elastomers after two years of outdoor tropical weathering: An in vitro study. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe properties of maxillofacial silicone elastomers (MFSE) are far from ideal and still require reinforcement. The incorporation of nanofillers (NFs) at high levels still requires further investigation.

Porosities and bonding of maxillofacial silicone with embedded glass fibre-bundles
, 2008 Purpose. There are two null hypotheses: including mechanical mixing under vacuum will not reduce porosity (hypothesis 1),and pull-out strength of glass fiber-bundles embedded into maxillofacial silicone elastomer is not affected by interfacial pores ...
