Abstract:Bone cement is an indispensable material in orthopedic medicine. In Indonesia, the fulfillment of bone cement needs still depends on imports from other countries. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is one of the main ingredients of bone cement which can be made from suspension polymerization of methyl methacrylate monomer (MMA). Therefore, this study aims to develop a technique for producing bone cement from PMMA. The production of bone cement consists of (1) the manufacture of PMMA, (2) the mixing of solid mixtur… Show more
