Graphene oxide and cannabidiol-based hybrid coatings on PMMA for biomedical applications.

ABSTRACT: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is commonly used in medical devices for the oral cavity. It is precisely due to its biocompatibility, mechanical strength, wear resistance, and aesthetic qualities that it is so prolific. While widely used in dental and biomedical applications, PMMA has several limitations that necessitate improvement. Due to mechanical limitations, low impact resistance, susceptibility to cracking and wear, low thermal conductivity, and microbial adhesion, various modifications have been introduced. In this study, the PMMA surface was modified with a SiO₂ coating obtained from a TEOS precursor under both acidic and alkaline conditions using the sol-gel method. Additionally, Graphene oxide (GO) and cannabidiol (CBD) were added to the coating, and the mechanical prop
