Measuring the viscoelastic properties and curing characterstics of Vertecem V+ bone cement using oscillatory rheometer

A commercially available bone cement (Vertecem V+) is subjected to an oscillometric test using a parallel plate rheomter in order to characterise its viscoelastic properties. For this, a small amount of bone cement is placed between the plates of the rheometer and subjected to oscillations with gradually increasing angular frequency upto 40 rad/s. This cycle is repeated to obtain the change in properties arising due to the curing of the bone cement until there is no significant change with time. The results are given in form of an Excel file as well as text csv format.
