Resin matrix system used in the composite shown below is:
Correct Answer: POSS
Description: Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS):
POSS molecules are 12-sided silicate cages produced from silane and functionalized to copolymerize with other monomers.
POSS is a molecule-sized hybrid organic-inorganic oligomeric compound that can disperse homogeneously in compatible monomers and become covalently incorporated into cross-linked networks upon curing. Like the ormocer-type materials, the silicate cage structures provide a reinforcing function, but filler particles must also be included to achieve the balance of mechanical and other properties required for adequate performance as dental composites.
