Abstract
This contribution is concerned with the modelling of PMMA-based bone cement polymerisation process and the associated heat effect. While existing models use description in terms of the so-called polymerisation fraction to fit the experimental data, the new model is constructed in such a way as to mimic the chemical processes taking place in the cement dough. The important phenomena are identified and the mathematical formulation is proposed.
