heal.abstract	Acrylic bone cements based on poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) reinforced with hydroxyapatite (HA) were synthesized by polymerization of MMA with PMMA prepolymer. The materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the molecular weight was viscosimetrically determined. The molecular weight of PMMA bone cement without HA is about twice that of the initial PMMA. Acrylic bone cements reinforced with HA can be an advantageous solution for problems of bone filling as well as bone regeneration.	en
