The high tensile strength of coconut-based biomaterial is comparable to the denture-based materials.

摘要

Biomaterials can be made from natural, synthetic materials or the combination of both. Two types of commercially made biomaterials were selected for the study, they were referred as coconut and banana-based biomaterials. A Tensilon Universal Testing Machine (A&D Corporation model RTI-1225) is used for the tensile testing for all types of biomaterials. The study was performed according to the ASTM D 3039 standard at temperature of 25 0C and 60 ± 10% RH. At least five specimens (20 mm  ×  50 mm) of different types of biodegradable pots will be prepared and assayed with a constant crosshead speed of 2 mm/min. The gage length is 3 cm (30 mm) out of the total 5 cm (50 mm). The data obtain from the test are used to establish the load-extension curves and compare the performance of each biodegradable materials of the pot. Independent T-test is use for the statistical analysis. Coconut-based biomaterial has higher tensile strength compared due to its high content of cellulose fiber that is important as reinforcement materials. The high tensile strength of coconut-based biomaterial is comparable to the denture-based materials. This further open the greater use of natural fibers in dental application as a green, safe and added-value material.
