Summary The water sorption and solubility of three hybrid and one microfine composite are reported. The values obtained are dependent on composite type and resin system. Incomplete polymerization of the two materials resulted in increased solubility and sorption due to incomplete conversion of the monomer. The marked increase in both parameters will have clinical significance on the durability of the material.
