Abstract
The effect of different metal and fibre strengtheners on the fracture resistance of polymethylmethacrylate was tested. Different types of commonly used metal wire and glass fibre, as well as carbon and aramid fibres, were used as strengtheners in test specimens. There were 21 groups, and each group contained 12 test specimens. Each metal strengthener had a beneficial effect on the fracture resistance of the polymethylmethacrylate (P less than 0.001-0.01). Some fibres, which were silanized for better adhesion, also had strengthening properties.Entities:
