Impact strength, fracture toughness and hardness improvement of PMMA denture base through addition of nitrile rubber/ceramic fillers

Background/purpose: PMMA resin mostly used the fabrication of denture base by heatcuring technique. It has poor strength, including low impact strength and low fatigue resistance. In this work the combination of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) with two types of ceramic fillers (Al2O3 and YSZ, resp...
