Ermüdungsverhalten von Knochenzementen nach Alterung
Abstract
Bone cements normally exhibit a distinct fatigue behaviour. Frequently differences in the composition, the preparation or the environmental conditions additionally influence the long-term strength. The changes by fatigue are mostly more pronounced than those of the usually determined quasistatic strength. In this study as a further possible influence it is investigated whether ageing effects to which polymers are often subject, may change the fatigue behaviour, too. The results show that for the standard acrylate-based cements considered here, such influences can be neglected.
