✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A tougher, more fatigue‐resistant bone cement consisting of short, highmodulus carbon fibers dispersed randomly in normal poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cement has been developed. Fatigue and impact tests are reported that demonstrate the superior fracture resistance and prolonged load‐carrying ability of this system.

The use of this carbon fiber‐reinforced bone cement in the treatment of a pathological fracture of the femur associated with neoplastic disease of the bone is reported. The tougher cement has provided long‐term stability of the fracture.

The effect of carbon fibers on the tensile strength of cement paste matrix was experimentally and analytically investigated. The tensile strength values were obtained using the cementitious composites axial tensile technique (CCATr) [ 1,2]. The addition of 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 volume percent ofpolyacry

Self-monitoring of slight fatigue damage was demonstrated in cement mortar containing short carbon fibers (0.24 vol.%), as damage (occurring in the first < 10% of the tensile or compressive fatigue life) caused the volume electrical resistivity to decrease irreversibly by up to 2%.
