Dual-Setting Bone Cement Based On Magnesium Phosphate Modified with Glycol Methacrylate Designed for Biomedical Applications.

ABSTRACT: Magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) is a suitable alternative for the currently used calcium phosphates, owing to beneficial properties like favorable resorption rate, fast hardening, and higher compressive strength. However, due to insufficient mechanical properties and high brittleness, further improvement is still expected. In this paper, we reported the preparation of a novel type of dual-setting cement based on MPC with poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA). The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of HEMA addition, especially its concentration and premix time, on the selected properties of the composite. Several beneficial effects were found: better formability, shortened setting time, and improvement of mechanical strengths. The developed cements were hardening in ∼16-21 min
