Objectives: This study is an attempt to enhance the properties of conventional PMMA denture material by incorporation of a polyfunctional polyol derived from palm oil by copolymerization with methyl methacrylate monomer to overcome the low fatigue resistance property of PMMA. Methods: A series of copolymerizations of palm oil polyol with MMA was performed in solution. The polyol was added from 40-20 %, MMA from 20-40% , benzoyl peroxide as initiator was at 0.04% and toluene used as solvent was at 60 % of the total weight. The copolymerization was carried out in a 500ml-round-bottom reaction flask, equipped with a magnetic …
