Surface Roughness, Hardness and FTIR of the Modified Soft Liner with Different Metal Oxide Nanoparticles

Aims: To study the effect of metal oxide nanoparticles (MgO, ZrO2, ZnO) on acrylic based soft liner surface properties and FTIR. Materials Methods: Acrylic-based soft-liner specimens were prepared by adding three different concentrations (0.5, 1, 2) %wt ZnO). A disk-shaped with 30mm diameter 3mm thickness for shore (A) hardness test to evaluate modified liner. The roughness samples (10X10X2mm) was tested a profilometer. FTIR analysis conducted chemical reaction that may occur between acrylic-based nanoparticles. Results: there no carried out at concentration- (shore A) increased as concentration in resin. Nanoparticles 1 2% incorporated had lower value. Conclusions: Metal have improved texture liner, while increases.
