MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF DISPERSED CERAMIC NANO PARTICLES IN POLYMER COMPOSITE FOR ORTHOPEDIC APPLICATIONS
Bone acrylic cement is widely used as a structural material in orthopaedics, dentistry, and orofacial surgery. Although bone cement celebrates four decades of success, it remains susceptible to fatigue fracture. This type of failure can directly lead to implant loosening, revision surgery, and increased healthcare expenditures. In this thesis, the application of mixing and vacuum technique to fabricate bone cement enhance its strength and fatigue performance.
