Abstract
ABSTRACTA response surface methodology was used to optimize the relationships between the time and power of a methyl methacrylate plasma surface modification process for ZrO2 particles in bone cement formulations. Time and power were varied during the plasma process, and their effect on the mechanical properties of the bone cement was studied. All mechanical properties were improved in all bone cement formulations prepared with modified ZrO2 particles in comparison to those of bone cement formulated with ZrO2 particles without plasma treatment.
