A Finite Element Study of Crack Behavior for Carbon Na-notube Reinforced Bone Cement
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is a polymeric material that is widely used as a structural orthopedic material. However, it is not an ideal material for bone grafting due to its fragility. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been introduced in order to reinforce PMMA resulting in a composite material which exhibits improved tensile properties, increased fatigue resistance and fracture tough...
متن کاملAn Efficient Functionalization Methode for the Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes and Their Applications in PMMA Bone Cement
In this work, an efficient procedure for the functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) based on nitric acid oxidation was presented. The morphologies of MWCNTs oxidized under various conditions were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The FTIR provided clear evidence for the presence of carboxylic groups (–COOH)...
متن کاملFatigue and biocompatibility properties of a poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cement with multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
Composites of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) of varied functionality (unfunctionalised and carboxyl and amine functionalised) with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were prepared for use as a bone cement. The MWCNT loadings ranged from 0.1 to 1.0 wt.%. The fatigue properties of these MWCNT-PMMA bone cements were characterised at MWCNT loading levels of 0.1 and 0.25 wt.% with the type and wt...
متن کاملThird Sound Analysis of Superfluid 4He Films Adsorbed on Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes
Third sound is known to depend on the chemistry and geometry of the substrate on which a superfluid film is adsorbed. We have studied third sound in films adsorbed on multiwall carbon nanotubes to determine the effects of the cylindrical nanotube geometry. The Van der Waals potential for a single nanotube and the theoretical propagation velocity on the outer surface of a nanotube are presented....
متن کاملVoltammmetric Determination of Captopril Using Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes Paste Electrode in the Presence of Isoproterenol as a Mediator
The electrocatalytic oxidation of captopril (CAP) was studied by modified carbon nanotubes paste electrode in the presence of isoproterenol (ISPT) using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry and square wave voltammetry (SWV). Also, the values of catalytic rate constant (k), and electron transfer coefficient (α) for CAP were calculated. The mechanism of CA electrochemical behavior at the mo...
