Abstract

The use of collagen is the recent development in various medical fields. Huge quantities of hide and skin trimmings are generated during the leather processing are wasted or underutilized. Trimmings contain collagen which can be beneficially extracted and utilized for high value products. Poly methyl methacrylate based denture materials exhibit serious concerns such as high porosity, presence of residual monomer, shrinkage, distortion and high rate of deterioration of the materials. This study aims to incorporate extracted Type I collagen with polymer to obtain denture base and investigate its chemical and mechanical properties. The present research methodology also reduces the quantity of monomer and acrylic resin usage. The collagen was extracted from animal skin and hide trimmings which are otherwise disposed as wastes. This study investigated the effect of visco-elastic characteristics of resulted specimens and their transition temperature, mechanical properties, decomposition temperature and leachability. The collagen-based specimens have better tensile strength with high decomposition temperature compared to control specimens. Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis revealed that the experimental specimens was cohesive and homogeneous which explained the higher tensile and decomposition values. The study suggests that collagen cross-linked acrylic denture base exhibit better mechanical and thermal resistance properties when compared to control specimens. The study indicates that biomaterials are emerging as smart products of value in human health.
