ELASTOMERS AND PLASTICS Development of tribological Properties of PMMA Dental Resins reinforced with CNTs

The current research aims to improve the accuracy of results obtained from a pin-on-disc tribometer by using stepper motors and linear actuators. Additionally, the research focuses on enhancing the tribological properties of PMMA by reinforcing it with 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 wt% SWCNT or MWCNT.

The use of polymers has recently gained popularity in various fields, making their development an ongoing pursuit. Due to their unique properties, polymers have become a key component in many industries. Nanomaterials, in particular, have been effective in significantly reducing friction when used as engine oil additives, resulting in decreased fuel consumption and energy loss.
