TLDR
It is concluded that graphite Fiber reinforcement is beneficial in improving certain mechanical and thermal properties of surgical bone cement, however, considerable effort remains to produce a clinically usable graphite fiber reinforced bone cement.Abstract:
This paper presents the results of a brief experimental investigation to determine the effects of graphite fiber additives on the flexuaral, compressive, and exothermal characteristics of surgical bone cement. The materials used in the investigation were polymethyl-methacrylate (PMM) and chopped graphite (GY70) fibers. Both fiber reinforced and unrein-forced beam and cylinder specimens were fabricated and tested. The unreinforced specimens were used to develop baseline data.read more

Reinforced bone cement, method of production thereof and reinforcing fiber bundles therefor
TL;DR: The distribution of short, fine, reinforcing fibers homogeneously throughout surgical bone cement is accomplished by adding the fibers in the form of bundles of several hundred fibers with the fibers bonded to each other with an adhesive binder that is soluble in the liquid monomer component of the bone cement as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In summary, it can be stated that injection-molded reinforced polyethylene has much superior properties to the nonreinforced P.E. which can be further improved if better adhesion between P. E. matrix and reinforcing fibers can be secured.

Surface topography of a new polymer material for tooth implants.
TL;DR: The surface topography of the new polymer material has been studied with a scanning electron microscope and a lace-like pattern was demonstrated, which had certain similarities to the surface of cementum of natural teeth.
