Abstract:This study aimed to determine the tensile strength and strain properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/nano-zircon (n-ZrSiO4) composites with various nano-zircon sizes. Wet milling method for 5 and 15 h without annealing treatment was used to obtain the nano-zircon powders. Results showed that milling for 15 hours can reduce zircon size up to 93 nm. Meanwhile, the composites were synthesized with zircon compositions of 1, 2.5, and 5 wt.%. Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) measurement were carried out to … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
