Polymeric materials have special advantages over other materials used for the recording, storage and retrieval of information, telecommunication transmission and visualization of images.

At its core is a detailed description of the stabilization of different polymers, including an explanation of stabilization mechanisms and the influence of commonly used additives such as fillers, flame retardents and pigments on the stability of plastic.

Braden and his coauthors give a comprehensive overview of the use of polymers and polymer composites as dental materials. Such materials are used in dentistry as restorative materials, hard and soft prostheses, and impression materials.
