Development the mechanical properties of the acrylic resin (PMMA)‎ by added different types of nanoparticles, used for medical applications

الملخص EN

This research is studying the effect of reinforcement the acrylic resin (PMMA) by two types of nanoparticles, which included : walnut shell (WSP) and talc particles (TP) that practical sizes are (40.8 and 29.2 nm) in individually form, and utilize at three various concentrations (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3wt.%), to improve in the mechanical properties of composite materials.

the results showed that the Tensile and Hardness shore D properties became better with increasing the concentration of nanoparticles.

the highest value of (tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and elongation at break) was (28 MPa.

1.28 GPa and 2.35%) for (PMMA : 0.3% WSP) composite specimens.

and the highest value of hardness shore D was (77) for (PMMA: 0.3% WSP) composite specimen.
