Resin polymers, such as Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), have been used in denture fabrication because of their easy molding ability and flawless appearance. However, these PMMAs are not the most desirable material when dealing with mechanical strength, electrical conductivity and thermal stability. In this study, the addition of fillers, such as Nano-Aluminum Oxide (Nano-Al2O3) and plasma treated polypropylene (PP) fibers, to these polymers has been explored. Nanocomposites are desired in ...
Despite its fragility, poor thermal properties, and high water sorption rates, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is commonly used in denture fabrication. This study aimed to examine how the addition of Aluminum oxide nanoparticles affected the properties of PMMA. A thermal constant analyzer measured the thermal properties of the Al2O3 nanoparticles using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of acrylic resin improved ...
