Mechanical properties and biocompatibility of poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cement containing microencapsulated tissue adhesive

One of the most broadly reported self-healing schemes is that pioneered by White and Sottos et al. in which a polymer matrix is co-embedded with a catalyst and microcapsules containing a reactive healing agent. Although this field has been steadily growing over the past 10 years, little discussion of extension into biomaterials has taken place...
