Preparation and characterization advanced polymer blend Nano composite materials

الملخص EN

In the present work it has been studied the effect of (0.3, 0.8 and 1.5 wt.%) Zirconia ZrO2 and Hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles on polymer blend matrix (poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) / High density polyethylene (HDPE.

SEM Morphological analysis has been performed which shows different morphologies with various contents of polymer blend composites.

Mechanical tests including (tensile, compression, flexural, Impact and wear) were performed on the two groups of binary blend composites.

Zirconia blend composites gave higher values of mechanical characteristics as compared with the hydroxyapatite ones.

Wear resistance showed improvement with the addition of nano powders still, the effect of addition hydroxyapatite to polymer blend, was better as compared with that of zirconia.
