Autonomic healing of acrylic bone cement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-healing in orthopedic bone cement is demonstrated with a novel thermoplastic solvent-bonding approach. Low toxicity solvent-filled microcapsules, embedded in a commercial acrylic bone cement matrix, enable recovery of up to 80% of the virgin fracture toughness of the cement at room and body temperature conditions without external stimuli or human intervention.

Methotrexate diffusion from acrylic cement. Local chemotherapy for bone tumours.
We investigated the possible use of acrylic cement containing chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment of malignant lesions in bone. The diffusion of methotrexate (MTX) from methylpolymethacrylate implants was studied in vitro: polymerisation of the cement did not destroy the drug; liberation began immediately and about 10% was released by 18 hours. Some release continued for as long as six mont...
متن کاملAcrylic antibiotic-loaded bone cement: a basic study
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic-loaded bone cement in controlling local infection and in regard to its physical characteristics, elastic modulus, and tensile strength in-vitro. Methods: Acrylic bone cement, based on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) was mixed with the powder form of three antibiotics, i.e., gentamicin, tobramycin, and...
متن کاملCritical evaluation of pulse-echo ultrasonic test method for the determination of setting and mechanical properties of acrylic bone cement: influence of mixing technique.
Currently there is no reliable objective method to quantify the setting properties of acrylic bone cements within an operating theatre environment. Ultrasonic technology can be used to determine the acoustic properties of the polymerising bone cement, which are linked to material properties and provide indications of the physical and chemical changes occurring within the cement. The focus of th...
متن کاملOptimisation of a two-liquid component pre-filled acrylic bone cement system: a design of experiments approach to optimise cement final properties.
The initial composition of acrylic bone cement along with the mixing and delivery technique used can influence its final properties and therefore its clinical success in vivo. The polymerisation of acrylic bone cement is complex with a number of processes happening simultaneously. Acrylic bone cement mixing and delivery systems have undergone several design changes in their advancement, althoug...
متن کاملA room-temperature autonomically-healing PMMA bone cement: influence of composition on fatigue crack propagation rate.
PURPOSE To test two hypotheses. First, autonomic healing is achievable in a commercially available poly (methyl methacrylate) bone cement brand that is widely used to anchor total joint replacements. Secondly, in this self-healing cement, the fatigue crack propagation (FCP) rate is critically dependent on the relative amount of the mass of the healing agent (endo-isomer of dicyclopentadiene (DC...
