Abstract:

Introduce a new biocomposite materials.  Consist of biopolymer matrix UHMWPE  reinforced with nano  particles. Of Hydroxylapatite and titanium dioxide and carbon and Kevlar fiber with different weight fraction.Investigate mechanical physical, and biological properties to inspect suitable properties for this application .design femure bone model to present total deformation and stress analysis numerically.The result showed that increased properties with weight fraction and can be used as implant in human body because of antibacterial inhibition and cell availability and idetincal the experiment result with numerical.

Abstract:

This study aimed to improve properties of PMMA resin denture base by blending it with polyamide (PA) type (6) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) type (K30) and reinforced by sisal and coconut natural powders. Samples were analyzed experimentaly and numerically. Mechanical, physical, miscibility and morphological tests were conducted in this study. Results obtained the most properties value improved when the weight fraction of blends and reinforcing particles increased. The experimental results were in agreement with the numerical results of the finite element analysis.
