To improve the safety of cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine (HMX) particles, polymer thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) and nitrocellulose (NC) were introduced to coat HMX powder by water-solution suspension method internal solution method, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) X-ray photo-electron spectrometry (XPS) employed characterize samples role NC TPU in coating process...

Objective This study investigated the wear resistance of injection-molded thermoplastic denture base resins using nanoindentation instrument. Materials and methods Six injection-molded thermoplastic denture base resins (two polyamides, two polyesters, one polycarbonate, one polymethylmethacrylate [PMMA]) and a PMMA conventional heat-polymerized denture-based polymer control were tested. Elastic...
