Preparation and Characterization of PMMA-Based Cements Containing Magnetic Nanoparticles for the Magnetic Hyperthermia

Abstract:

Three types of polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA)-based cements containing magnetic (Fe3O4) particles were developed and their properties were evaluated. The commercial available PMMA cement (PMMAc) was used as a control material. The setting time of the cement extended while the compressive strength of the samples decreased with increasing Fe3O4 content. There was no obvious difference in peak temperature between the cements during the setting reaction. The cement with 10 wt% Fe3O4 in an alternating magnetic field (AMF) of 125 Gs and cement with 20 wt% Fe3O4 in an AMF of 100 Gs could generate enough heat for the therapeutic hyperthermia of bone metastasis.
