Abstract: The present invention discloses a silicone rubber with improved adhesive properties; a composite structure in which a base member formed from a synthetic resin or metal is bonded firmly and directly to silicone rubber; a denture in which a biocompatible silicone rubber is firmly bonded to a section of a denture bed that contacts the body; and a method for making the denture. Methyl methacrylate is added to a linear polysiloxane and polymerized in a predetermined molding cavity, and methyl polymethacrylate is formed on at least the surface of the molded silicone rubber. The silicone rubber resulting from this process provides superior adhesive properties. A section of a base member, such as a main unit or an auxiliary member of a product, that is to be bonded with silicone rubber is extended into the predetermined molding cavity. The molding cavity is filled with a linear polysiloxane to which a monomer is added. This results in a composite structure in which silicone rubber is bonded to the base member.
