Abstract:
To evaluate the characteristics of a thermomechanically loaded composite resin enhanced with graphene nanoparticles. A total of 60 specimens were manufactured with Test group TG1 (20), TG2 (20), and control group CG (20). All samples were subjected to surface roughness using a three-dimensional (3D) Optical profilometer and flexural strength. All specimens were subjected to thermomechanical cyclic loading. Microhardness measurement was performed with a microhardness tester. The average microhardness and flexural strength were higher in test groups TG1 and TG2 and lowest in control group CG. There was an improvement in surface roughness, flexural strength, and microhardness in the test group after the addition of graphene nanoparticles compared to the control group.
Conclusion:
The addition of graphene nanoparticles to composite resin significantly improved flexural strength and microhardness. The physical and chemical properties of the composite showed marked improvement.
