Abstract
This study investigated the effects of Nano Lead Zirconium Titanium (PZT) on the mechanical properties of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) using tensile and compression tests, three-point bending, fracture toughness tests, and hardness tests. The results revealed that the addition of PZT has promising effects on the composite, except with respect to elongation, which deteriorated with the addition of PZT. The results show clearly that PZT has a significant effect on PMMA quality.
