Investigating the Mechanical Properties of ZrO<sub>2</sub>-Impregnated PMMA Nanocomposite for Denture-Based Applications

Investigating the Mechanical Properties of ZrO<sub>2</sub>-Impregnated PMMA Nanocomposite for Denture-Based Applications

Acrylic resin PMMA (poly-methyl methacrylate) is used in the manufacture of denture bases but its mechanical properties can be deficient in this role. This study investigated the mechanical properties (flexural strength, fracture toughness, impact strength, and hardness) and fracture behavior of a c...
