TI  - The effects of metal nanoparticles incorporation on the mechanical properties of denture base acrylic resin
AB  - Purpose The aim of this study was to examine the flexural strength of acrylic resin base material incorporated with iron, copper, and titanium nanoparticles. Materials and Methods Seventy bars of samples (65x10x2.5 mm3) were divided into seven groups. Acrylic samples were prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fe2O3, CuO and TiO2 nanoparticles were manually added in a proportion of 1wt% and 3wt% to the heat-polymerized acrylic resin. The Universal Testing Machine was used for 3-point flexural test of 5 mm/min force. ANOVA and Weibull analyses were used for the statistical analyses. Results A statistical difference was found between the nanoparticle-added group and the control group. The highest mean value was observed for the 1wt% TiO2 added group, (84.99 MPa) and the lowest value was for the 3wt% CuO added group (71.32 MPa) (p<0,001). The 3wt% Fe2O3 and CuO added groups showed lower values than the control group. Conclusion The incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles into acrylic resin in a proportion of 1wt% increased the flexural strength values of the resins. Within the limitations, the nanoparticle addition to acrylic resins could improve the mechanical properties; however, when the percentage of nanoparticle addition increases, the flexural strength values of the acrylic resins decrease.
