The synthesis of an hemispiroorthocarbonate functionalized with an oxetane group is reported. The obtained monomer was used as a slow shrinkable additive in the cationic ultraviolet curing of a commercially available dioxetane resin. We evidenced polymer network flexibilization by increasing the oxetane‐functionalized hemispiroorthocarbonate content in the photocurable formulation. It was demonstrated that spiroorthocarbonate acted as a shrinkage reduction additive and reached expansion on volume after polymerization in the presence of 50 wt % of the functionalized spiroorthocarbonate. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
