A commercial acrylic bone cement was modified by the incorporation of different weight fractions of polycrystalline hydroxyapatite (HA), and the modified formulation was investigated. The influence of the filler proportion on the flow characteristics and the mechanical behavior of the resultant comp

Ultrasonic parameters such as velocity of sound and broad-band ultrasonic attenuation (BUA) are sensitive to changes in the viscoelastic properties of a material. Bone cement undergoes changes is these properties as it cures. By monitoring the propagation of ultrasonic pulses through a sample of cur
A novel activator, N,N,Dimethylamino 4-benzyl laurate (DML) was used in the curing of acrylic bone cements, based on poly(methylmethacrylate). The water absorption characteristics were studied, and the behavior was found to be similar to commercial bone cements. The net amount of solubles were also
## Two recent were published describing experimentation defining the fracture toughness and fatigue behavior of Surgical Simplex\* P and Zimmer bone cement. A major conclusion drawn from these studies was that "when fabricated at 5 psi, Zimmer acrylic bone cement shows superior fracture toughness
