It is expected that the incorporation of nanostructures improve the quality of resin-based dental restorative materials, especially dental adhesives. In this study it is shown that the presence of MA-POSS as a crosslinking agent results in higher storage modulus and Tg. It is also observed that in higher concentrations of MA-POSS, conversion diminishes and shrinkage relatively increases
