Abstract

This study observed apatite growth in nano fish bone (NFB) processed from fish bone waste and used it in Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement. PMMA was synthesized using the emulsion polymerization method, and the content of the sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) surfactant was varied to control particle size and uniformity. Apatite growth is an approach for bone regeneration to optimize bone repair and restore bone function. Generally, this property is attributed to hydroxyapatite, which can be derived from fish bone waste. PSA characterization showed that the addition of SDS could reduce the particle size from 102.8 nm without SDS to 42.1 nm with 5 wt% SDS. SEM characterization revealed agglomeration due to the very small particle size at a 5 wt% SDS addition. The addition of NFB to PMMA produced bone cement with a 1.65 Ca:P content ratio and an average particle size of 757.5 nm. L-Arginine was also added to PMMA to increase the biocompatibility and antibiotic properties of the bone cement. Tensile strength tests were conducted on the bone cement samples. The BC-PMMA-1-NFB/L-Arg sample exhibited better tensile strength than commercial PMMA. The immersion test showed an increase in mass after seven days of immersion in the SBF solution, indicating the possibility of forming an apatite layer.
