PMMA bone cement with L-Arginine/nano fish bone nanocomplex to generate apatite formation

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 ..., ,
Solid Content Data
Solid content data are calculated using the equation Solid% = [Wf] / [Ws] (1), where Wf is the weight of the dried emulsion, and Ws is the weight of the undried emulsion. Solid content data are contained in the file 'Table 3 Solid Content'. 
FTIR Raw Data
Raw data from FTIR scans (wavenumber (cm^-1) vs transmittance (%)) of PMMA and Nano Fish Bone (NFB) are presented. FTIR raw data is contained in the files 'Fig 1a FTIR PMMA' and 'Fig 3 FTIR NFB'.
PSA Raw Data
Data from the nanoparticle analyzer (diameter (nm) vs Qi (%)) of PMMA-x-SDS is presented. PSA raw data is in the file 'Fig 1b Particle Size'. We write 'n/a' in cells B96, C96, D93-D96, E92-E96, F92-F96, G95-G96, H94-H96, I94-I96, K96, and L96 because that is the result obtained from the particle size analysis characterization, and those cells have no values.
EDX Raw Data
EDX energy dispersive (eV) vs. arbitrary intensity data for the NFB sample are presented. The EDX raw data shows the weight percentages and at...
