## 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__‐dimethyl‐4‐toluidine (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
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
The fatigue properties of Simplex P and Palacos R bone cements were compared to their antibiotic impregnated counterparts AKZ' and Palacos R with gentamycin.+ The effect of porosity reduction by centrifugation of all four cement types was also assessed. Fifteen specimens of each cement type were pre
