Improvement in Mechanical Properties and Anti-Adhesion Activity in Maxillofacial Silicones with Pumpkin Extract Nanoparticles
Background/Objectives: The deterioration of maxillofacial silicone elastomers is caused by microbial colonization and mechanical failure. Traditional inorganic nanofillers influence the elasticity of materials and their surface hygiene. This study provides a two-phase evaluation of mechanically milled pumpkin (Cucurbit...
