Which property of composites is most affected by the size and number of fillers
1) Polymerization shrinkage
2) Thermal contraction
3) Thermal expamsion
4) Water sorption
📝 Explanation:
The amount of polymerization shrinkage in composite materials is directly related to the volume fraction of the polymer matrix; increasing the size and number of inorganic filler particles reduces the relative amount of polymer, thus decreasing overall shrinkage.
