The area of hypervelocity impact and associated high energy is one of extreme interest in the research community. A specific example of this emphasis is the US Air Force test facility at Holloman Air Force Base which specializes in the field of hypervelocity impact testing. This Holloman AFB High Sp
## Abstract Radiopaque glassβresin composites were made for evaluation as denture base materials. The addition of silaneβtreated, radiopaque, powdered glass to clear poly(methyl methacrylate) resulted in composites that had greater optical translucency than commercially available pink denture base
