The current research uses the chopped hemp fibers (HF) with a length of 0.5mm at a various mass fraction (0.0, 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 wt%) to acrylic resin (PMMA) reinforced with 0.3% of walnut shell nanoparticles (WSP) for building up the properties of PMMA to be utilized in attachment prosthetics. Some mechanical and physical properties were studied. The results indicated that all properties were improved when the hemp fibers reached the most extreme value at 0.9% mass fraction of HF to polymer nanocomposite (PMMA: 0.3% walnut shell nanoparticle (WSP)) test. Therefore, this hybrid composite might be used for accomplishing the required properties for the prosthetic application.
