Abstract : Mechanical properties of hybrid poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) fortified with KP (8:2, by vol.%) were explored. In this work, the impact of KP treatment on tensile, flexural, and impact strength of PMMA were contemplated. The KP loadings were changed from 5% to 20%. Impact of EDTA (disodium) blended composite on tensile and impact strength has likewise contemplated. The expansion of KP had caused increment in the tensile strength of the PMMA composite. The three-point bending strength of the surface-blended KP presents slope increase, while the unblended one abatements gradually. If there should arise an occurrence of blended KP/PMMA, the impact strength discernibly expanded with the KP content. Results uncovered that the nearness of disodium salt of EDTA at first glance blended KP has additionally upgraded the effectiveness of stress exchange from the framework to the KP in this way enhanced the interfacial adhesion between the KP and PMMA lattice.
