## Abstract Acrylic (polymethylmethacrylate or PMMA) bone cement was modified by the addition of highβstrength zirconia fibers with average lengths of 200 ΞΌm and diameters of 15 ΞΌm or 30 ΞΌm. A novel emulsion polymerization process was developed to encapsulate individual fibers in PMMA. Improvements
Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers were treated with argon plasma for 5 min, followed by uv irradiation in methyl methacrylate (MMA)-chloroform solution for 5 h to obtain MMA-g-UHMWPE grafted fiber. The grafting content was estimated by the titration of esterification method. Th
