Poly(methyl methacrylate)--aqueous phase blends: in situ curing porous materials.
A potential implant material has been developed which combines the advantages of curing in situ and an open porous structure. This paper deals with synthesis and characterization of the material, which is a modification of the well-known acrylic bone cements. Some early results of animal experiments are mentioned.
