In all acrylic bone cement formulations in clinical use today, radiopacity is provided by micron-sized particles (typical mean diameter of between about 1 and 2 microm) of either BaSO(4) or ZrO(2). However, a number of research reports have highlighted the fact that these particles have deleterious

## Abstract It has been suggested in the literature that a lower polymerization rate of an acrylic bone cement is favorable for the __in vivo__ longevity of a cemented arthroplasty. The present work was a study of the influence of three changes in the composition of an acrylic bone cement (when tak
## Abstract In all but one of the acrylic bone cement brands used in cemented arthroplasties, __N__,__N__โdimethylโ4โtoluidine (DMPT) serves as the activator of the polymerization reaction. However, many concerns have been raised about this activator, all related to its toxicity. Thus, various work
