The Effect of Addition Radish Oil on Some Mechanical Properties

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of radish oil on the transverse strength and surface roughness of polymethyl methacrylate. In this study, a total of sixty (60) samples have been made. 20 specimens of heat-cured acrylic resin were created with no additives (control), and 40 samples were created with additives in different concentrations (2.5% wt and 5% wt) to test the surface roughness and the transverse strength. In the surface roughness test, a non-significant difference was found between the control and addition groups, but a high significant difference was observed in the transverse strength. When oils were added, the surface roughness decreased and the transverse strength increased. When radish oils were added to acrylic resin, the surface roughness decreased and the transverse strength increased.
