Abstract
Infrared spectroscopy was used for the characterization of some commercial bone cements and investigation of their interaction with bone marrow. The infrared spectra of the cements and their mixtures with bone marrow were recorded after various periods ranging from 1 day to 8 weeks. The quantitative analysis of infrared spectra of the mixtures provided strong evidence that a certain reaction takes place between the acrylic resins and the bone marrow. It was found that the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of the bone marrow and the ageing time. The rate of reaction showed a maximum at 22 and 31 days according to the concentration of the bone marrow and then decreased with ageing up to 8 weeks.
