Injectable polymers cement

Poly (fumerates) Biomaterials based on poly(propylene fiunerate) (PPF) have been extensively used for orthopedic application such as injectable bone cement [253]. Unlike PEGDA and pluronics, fiunerate-containing polymers are biodegradable since the ester fink in the polymers can be cleaved hydrolytically. PPF is hydrophobic, and in order to synthesize hydrogels, it has been... 

Small-particle-size cement has found a number of uses in production and injection well casing repair jobs [440]. Oil-based cement is particularly useful for water shutoff jobs, because the hydrocarbon slurry sets only in the presence of water, so the oil-producing sections of a reservoir remain relatively damage free after water shutoff. The selective water shutoff with oil-based cement also has been used with polymers crosslinked by metal crosslinkers [442,1178].

PMMA and its derivatives have been used most often in the bone cements used for fixation in orthopedic surgeries. PMMA is an amorphous thermoplastic polymer. It gives excellent optical clarity, weather resistance, surface hardness, good chemical resistance, rigidity, dimensional stability, low mold shrinkage, good impact strength, nontoxicity, and tastelessness. PMMA powders can be injected and...
