Abstract
The thrust of the work involved determining the impact strength, IS (in kJ m(-2)) [using non-ASTM-sized Charpy-type specimens and an in-house impact tester] and fracture toughness, K1c (in MPa square root(m)) [using ASTM-sized rectangular compact tension specimens] of Surgical Simplex P and three variants of Palacos R acrylic bone cements. The attractions and drawbacks of this method for determining IS are detailed. The best fit to the K1c and IS results yielded a power relationship K1c = 0.795(IS)(0.59). The usefulness and limitations of this relationship are detailed.Entities:
