Enhancing the Mechanical and Physical Properties of PMMA Resin Through Clove Particle Reinforcement

الملخص

Clove extracts was used to reinforce the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin used in denture bases. Samples with a granular size (53 micrometers) and volume fractions of (8%, 6%, 4%, 2%and 0%) were prepared using the manual molding method. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength,bending strength and Physical properties such as thermal conductivity.The findings demonstrated an improvement in the results of the tensile values. The highest value was recorded at the volume fraction (4%), which reached 49 MPa), and the bending values also showed an improvement. The highest value was recorded at the volume fraction (4%), reaching 61 MPa), while the thermal conductivity value showed a decrease by increasing .

 the volume fraction of powder, where the minimum value was recorded at the volume fraction (8%) reaching) 0.044 W/m.℃(.
