The deformation and fracture behaviour of some commercial acrylic bone cements have been investigated. Cements were characterized by gel permeation chromatography, dynamic mechanical analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The inΓuence of liquid to powder ratio, curing temperature, strain rate an

The mechanical properties of the three cement preparations most widely used in the United States were compared by conducting tensile and fatigue tests on Simplex P, LVC, and Zimmer Regular bone cements. Specimens of all three cement preparations were prepared for mechanical testing with and without
## 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
