Relationship between fracture toughness and impact strength of acrylic bone cement

Abstract

The fracture toughness, KIc (in MPa√m) and impact strength, IS (in kJ/m2) of Surgical Simplex P and three variants of Palacos R acrylic bone cements were determined. The best fit of these results yielded a power relationship that is especially suited for performing quality control checks on bone cements.
