The micro-hardness measurement of titanium oxide doped poly (methyl methacrylate) samples is reported in the present work. Poly (methyl methacrylate) samples have been used as the host material in which titanium oxide is added in different weight % of doping (0%,0.0001%, 0.0005%, 0.005%, 0.001%, 0.05%, 0.01%). The sample preparation was done by solution casting method. The objective of the submitted work is to analyze the influence of the load on the micro-hardness of pure PMMA and titanium oxide doped PMMA composites. For the present studies Vicker’s micro-hardness test has been used. The sample is subjected to loads of 10-200 grams. The micro-hardness value increases with increasing load up to 100 grams, after which it is constant for all the samples. After this load, micro-hardness tends to be independent of the applied load, also found micro-hardness of the samples increasing with increasing doping percentage of titanium oxide.
