Study the structural and mechanical properties of HAP-MgO NPs-PMMA nano-composite

Abstract

Polymer composite of heat cure acrylic (PMMA) matrix reinforced with different weight of nanoparticles Hydroxyapatite and Magnesium Oxide (1, 5 and 10% wt.) were prepared by hand molding technique. The Magnesium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by Simple Chemical Method (Co-precipitation). The structure and morphology properties of MgO examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and EDX. Lattice constant is a= 4.19
