## Abstract Samples of low viscosity poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), graphite reinforced PMMA, and graphite reinforced low viscosity PMMA were evaluated for their compression strength and fracture toughness. These results were compared with two currently used plain PMMA bone cements. There were n
An organic-inorganic hybrid material, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-SiO 2 (SiO 2 content of 72 wt%), was prepared by incorporating PMMA structure units covalently into an SiO 2 glass network via the sol-gel approach. The hybrid sol-gel material PMMA-SiO 2 was subsequently used as the solid powder
The film-forming ability of latex blends (hard latex / soft latex) and the mechanical behavior at finite strain of latex blend films (soft matrix with tough inclusions) has been investigated. The maximum weight fraction of hard latex particles (f max ) which still gives rise to transparent and crack
## Abstract The use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) to reinforce vertebral bodies (Vertebroplasty) leads to an increase in the Young's modulus of the augmented vertebral body. Fractures in the adjacent vertebrae may be the consequence thereof. Hence, PMMA with a reduced Young's modulus may be suit
