Tiivistelmä
Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) made from wood-derived fiber is considered as a potential alternative reinforcing material to conventional fibers. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of CNF on the flexural properties of CNF-reinforced, injection molded, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture base material. Test specimens were fabricated from a model thermoplastic denture base resin using the injection molding technique. The resin pellets were mixed with CNF (to obtain different weight percentages 5, 10, 15, and 23 wt%). PMMA without CNF served as the control (0 wt%). Prior to the testing, the test specimens (n = 12/group) were water-immersed at 37 °C water for 50 h. The flexural strengths and moduli of the specimens were determined using three-point bending tests. Statistical evaluation included a one-way analysis of variance and the Student-Newman-Keuls test (α = 0.05). The mean and standard deviation of flexural strengths with the addition of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 23% CNF were 49.4 (±0.7), 56.4 (±1.3), 63.5 (±2.0), 72.0 (±4.7), and 96.8 (±4.0) MPa, respectively. The mean and standard deviation of flexural modulus with the addition of the same concentrations of CNF were 1.31 (±0.02), 1.56 (±0.05), 1.99 (±0.14), 2.40 (±0.15), and 3.96 (±0.08) GPa, respectively. The flexural strengths and moduli of the CNF-reinforced PMMA were significantly higher than those of pure PMMA (p < 0.05). Hence, incorporation of CNF can significantly improve flexural properties of a thermoplastic PMMA denture base material.
