## Abstract One important issue for the acrylic bone cements concerns the radiopacity, which may be achieved by different ways. In this work, a new bromine‐containing acrylic monomer, the 2‐(2‐bromopropionyloxy) propyl methacrylate (BPPM), was synthesized and proposed to be used for providing radio

## Abstract Radiopacity in the vast majority of the commercially available acrylic bone cements that are used clinically is provided by particles of either BaSO~4~ or ZrO~2~. Literature reports have shown these agents to have a detrimental effect on some mechanical properties of the cements as well
## Abstract The use of antibiotic loaded bone cements (ALBCs) has become a common clinical practice in the prevention and treatment of prosthesis‐related infections. However, due to antibiotic resistance, there is a general interest in broadening the antibacterial spectrum of currently used drugs.
## Abstract As part of the search for an alternative to inorganic radiopaque agents, this work studies the possibility of modifying bone cement formulations by incorporating a radiopaque monomer, that is, 4‐iodophenol methacrylate (IPMA), in the liquid phase. The monomer was synthesized in the labo
