The study of new materials for biomedical application is still in the focus of scientific researchers because materials that satisfy completely biological needs have not been found yet. The recent investigation of Ahmed Fouly et al., (2021) addresses the analysis of a nanocomposite broadly employed as denture base material: the poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) reinforced with Hydroxyapatite (HA). The relevance of the research lies in the need of enhancing the mechanical and tribological composite properties to decrease material failures, disturbing of patients, as well as cost and duration of treatments. In this scenario, the authors evaluated PMMA/HA nanocomposites with different low loading fractions of HA and related the effect of those concentrations on the change in the specified properties. |
