Comparison of the flexural strength of polymethyl methacrylate resin reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes and processed by conventional water bath technique and microwave polymerization

Abstract: Purpose:This in vitro study was done to compare the flexural strength of polymethyl methacrylate resin reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and processed by conventional water bath technique and using microwave energy.Materials and Methods:A total of 180 acrylic resin specimens measuring 65 mm × 10 mm × 2.5 mm were fabricated, with conventional water bath groups and microwave group having ninety specimens each. Ninety specimens were divided into thirty specimens as control and subgroups contai… Show more

“…A reduction in flexural strength was detected in the HP resin after immersion in Corega. Somkuwar et al [ 41 ] evaluated the effect of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on PMMA (Poly(methyl methacrylate)) denture resin flexure strength. They demonstrated how microwave-cured denture resins have better flexure strength than the water bath-cured type, and that a 0.025% or 0.050% MWCNT weight could improve this physical property.…”

“…The authors showed how heat-polymerized, auto-polymerized and visible-light-polymerized react differently. According to Somkuwar et al [ 41 ], heat-polymerized denture base resins with and without reinforcement of MWCNTs and polymerized by the microwave technique possess higher flexural strength. MWCNTs could be used as an effective reinforcement material for the denture base.…”

“…The denture base materials can be strengthened to prevent fractures which is a common complication. There are some studies that have evaluated the effect of reinforcement of PMMA with different materials, but the those on the reinforcement of polyamide resin are scarce ( 7 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 33 ). In a previous study, the rigidity of dentures made of polyamide, polyester and conventional heat-polymerized PMMA were compared, and it was concluded that the polyamide, which has low elasticity, needed to be reinforced with metal frames ( 37 ).…”

“…Different methods have been developed to overcome these disadvantages such as; adding filling materials to reinforce of resins, chemical modifications of polymer with copolymerization and cross-linking of resin materials, producing new materials with different polymerization technics ( 6 , 7 , 8 ). Strengthening materials such as glass fiber, aramid fiber, nanodiamond powder, zirconium oxide, aluminum oxide, halloysite nanotubes, metal wires and carbon nanotubes can be added to denture base in order to increase fatigue resistance and fracture resistance of the prosthetic base materials ( 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ). However, the most effective reinforcement is yet to be determined ( 18 ).…”
