Effects Of Coupling Agents On The Properties Of Poly(Methyl Methacrylate)/Hydroxyapatite Composites For Denture Base Application

Poly(methyl methcrylate) (PMMA) composites containing 5 wt% hydroxyapatite (HA) was prepared by using heat-processing polymers powder and liquid method. In phase 1, both PMMA and HA powder were grounded using planetary ball milling. The effects of the grinding time and particle size of the PMMA/HA...
