DMTA analysis for long-term mechanical behaviour prediction of PMMA-based bone cements

Poly(methyl methaerylate) (PMMA) is commonly used as acrylic bone cement to fix bone implants. In vivo degradation of bone cement may lead to a decrease in mechanical properties and result in aseptic loosening. Creeping can promote failure of the implant. This study used dynamic mechanical thermal a...
