AB  - While dental poly methyl methacrylate(PMMA) possesses distinctive qualities such as ease of fabrication, cost-effectiveness, and favorable physical and mechanical properties, these attributes alone are inadequate to impart the necessary impact strength and hardness. Consequently, pure PMMA is less suitable for dental applications. This research focused on the incorporation of Strontium titanate (SrTiO3-STO) and hybrid filler STO/Manganese oxide (MnO2) to improve impact resistance and hardness. The potential of STO in reinforcing PMMA is poorly investigated, while hybrid filler STO/MnO2 has not been presented yet. Differential scanning calorimetry is conducted in order to investigate the agglomeration influence on the PMMA glass transition temperature (Tg), as well as the leaching of residual monomer and volatile additives that could pose a threat to human health. It has been determined that agglomeration with 1 wt% loading had no influence on Tg, while the first scan revealed differences in evaporation of small molecules, in favor of composite PMMA-STO/MnO2, which showed the trapping potential of volatiles. Investigations of mechanical properties have revealed the significant influence of hybrid STO/MnO2 filler on microhardness and total absorbed impact energy, which were increased by 89.9% and 145.4%, respectively. Results presented in this study revealed the reinforcing potential of hybrid nanoparticles that could find application in other polymers as well.

AB  - Polyurethane (PU) and PU nanocomposites with good biocompatibility and mechanical properties can be used as the biomedical matrix and tissue engineering biomaterials. Magnetic nanoparticles, especially ferrite nanoparticles have attracted much interest due to their specific physicochemical properties in various areas including magnetic recording, biosensing, catalyst, drug delivery systems, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cancer therapy. Despite all these advantages, the nanoparticle agglomeration reduces the efficiency of the nanoparticles, so the nanoparticle incorporation into an appropriate polymeric matrix to prepare organic-inorganic nanocomposites is a right direction in the current scenario of biomedical nanotechnology. In this study, organic-inorganic PU nanocomposites based on zinc and copper ferrites and with the same composition of PU were prepared. The properties of PU nanocomposites were evaluated by nanoindentation, water contact angle and water absorption measurements. The presence of the nanoferrite nanoparticles affects properties of PU nanocomposites such as bulk morphology, mechanical, and biological properties. The biocompatibility of PU nanocomposites was investigated by MTT assay and cell attachment using endothelial cells. According to the results, the prepared PU nanocomposites with noncytotoxic chemistry could be a potential choice for vascular implants development.

AB  - Processing and characterization of PMMA-MXene composites were investigated. γ-Methacryloxypropyltrimethoxy (MEMO) silane was used to modify the surface of MXenes and improve the compatibility between MXenes and the polymer. The FTIR analysis revealed the formation of a chemical bond between MXene and MEMO silane, while the XPS analysis confirmed the presence of silicon in the functionalized MXene. PMMA composites with non-functionalized and functionalized MXene were prepared using a solution casting method. Tensile tests showed that, compared to neat PMMA, Young’s modulus increased in both composites by 22.1 and 27.6%, respectively. As a result of coupling between the PMMA matrix and the surface-modified MXenes, the tensile strength also increased by about 37%. In addition, optical spectroscopy showed higher absorption for the composite with surface-modified MXenes and short-lived fluorescence with emission intensity sensitive to the crumpling of functionalized MXene nanosheets.
