摘要：The paper presents the studies and results of the Shore hardness and scratch test of polymer materials used inmedical devices. Polymers of organic PMMA (poly(methyl methacrylate)) origin for the manufacture of orth-odontic appliances were tested. Samples of test materials differed in manufacturing technology. The surfacefunctional properties of four materials were compared. Hardness tests were performed with the Shore D hard-ness test method. The scratch test was done with a Rockwell diamond cone indenter. The hardness was alsocalculated from the scratch test. Shore’s highest hardness was demonstrated in 1A material. But the differencesin Shore’s hardness were small. Larger differences between the tested materials were shown in the scratch testthan in the Shore hardness test. The lowest residual scratch depth (Rd) was obtained for 1A material. 3A mate-rial had the highest scratch hardness.
