Twenty-five patients were prospectively evaluated to quantify levels of methylmethacrylate monomer and fat in systemic blood and in shed blood after total joint arthroplasty. Levels of methylmethacrylate monomer in systemic blood were measured at intervals after insertion of the prosthesis. Levels of methylmethacrylate monomer in shed blood were measured at intervals after insertion of the drain. Levels of fat in systemic blood were measured preoperatively and 30 minutes after insertion of the prosthesis. Levels of fat in shed blood were measured 60 minutes after insertion of the drain. No significant fat or methylmethacrylate monomer was noted in systemic blood. Levels of methylmethacrylate monomer in shed blood were highest five minutes after insertion of the drain. Levels of methylmethacrylate monomer in shed blood collected from the hip were significantly lower than levels in shed blood from the knee. Levels of shed blood from the hip and knee were undetectable six hours after insertion of the drain. Shed blood from the hips and knees contained fat particles of three diameters: fat particles less than 9 microns, 9-40 microns, and greater than 40 microns. The diameter of most of the fat particles in the shed blood was less than 9 microns. Fat particles less than 40 microns in diameter will not be removed by microaggregate screen filters 40 microns in diameter.

A hybrid coating made of poly (methyl methacrylate) with SiO2-TiO2 particles (PMMA/SiO2-TiO2) has been developed for use as a coating on nanosatellites, evaluating its resistance to high vacuum by quantifying its weight loss. The coating was applied on an Al 7075 aluminum substrate used for the aerospace sector. PMMA/SiO2-TiO2 hybrid coatings were prepared using sol-gel reaction in situ assisted with sonochemistry.

Recently, a new class of synthetic methyl methacrylate-based random heteropolymers (MMA-based RHPs) has displayed protein-like properties. Their function appears to be insensitive to the precise sequence. Here, through atomistic molecular dynamics simulation, we show that there are universal protein-like features of MMA-based RHPs that are insensitive to the sequence, and mostly depend on the overall composition.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how different chemical surface treatments affect the bond strength between acrylic teeth and denture bases.
- Three groups were tested: a control group with no treatment, one treated with monomethyl methacrylate monomer, and another treated with acetone, with shear bond strength measured for each.
- Results indicated that acetone treatment provided the strongest bond (183.21 N), followed by monomethyl methacrylate (171.64 N) and the control group (149.32 N), highlighting acetone's effectiveness in enhancing adhesion in dental prosthetics.

Article Synopsis
- Switchable wettability in smart fibers is crucial for various applications, particularly through light-induced surface changes in wettability.
- Researchers synthesized eco-friendly smart polymers with improved optical properties by using specific comonomers, which enhanced flexibility and polarity while reducing glass transition temperature.
- The resulting electrospun fibers incorporated few-layer TiC MXenes, demonstrating smooth, bead-free structures that showed a reversible shift in wettability under UV and visible light.
