Investigation of TiO۲ Effects on the Mechanical and Antibacterial Propertiesof Urethane Acrylate Resin

Urethane acrylate is widely used in various industries due to its excellent mechanical properties andchemical resistance. However, improving its antibacterial properties could lead to new applications,especially in medical and hygiene-related sectors. This research systematically examined the impactof adding TiO۲ nanoparticles to urethane acrylate resin on its tensile strength, elasticity, anddurability. The results were promising, demonstrating that TiO۲ nanoparticles not only enhanced themechanical strength of the resin but also significantly improved its antibacterial activity. Thesefindings suggest that TiO۲ nanoparticle-enhanced urethane acrylate resin can revolutionizeapplications requiring both mechanical durability and antibacterial properties, such as medicaldevices, protective coatings, and food packaging materials.
