Abstract
The values of Young's modulus, hardness and wear resistance obtained on the hand-mixed and the vacuum-mixed cements were compared. The results indicate that the vacuum-mixed cement has better mechanical and tribological properties compared with the hand-mixed one. Since the nano-indentation and the nano-scratch test methods need less sample material, decrease costs and obtain reliable results, they can be considered as suitable techniques for determination of the mechanical and tribological properties of bone cements.
