This research investigates the effect of adding some reinforcing materials,including (nano and micro) titanium dioxide(TiO 2 )particles with different weight fraction(0.1,0.4,0.7,1,3 and5)% to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)and studying some mechanical and physical propertiesof composite material. Specimens’ of this project were prepared using (in-situ) method to form compositematerials. Themechanical tests were performed on these specimens,includingimpact test, thermal conductivity was performed as a physical test.Results of this study showed that the values of impact strength were decreased when adding the (nano-micro) particles in PMMA composite materials, while the values of thermal conductivity weredecreased.
