Study of thermal properties of improved adhesives for medical applications

Adhesives are of important materials in medicine applications. These materials are used in many applications such as disposal medical devices, structural bonds, bone cement, prostheses, etc.. In order to use these materials in medicine applications, the thermal properties of these materials should be evaluated. We measured the thermal properties of the adhesive which has been modified with Hycar rubber. It is found that increasing in Hycar leads to decrease in thermal properties of adhesive. This means that we can not increase the Hycar content beyond the critical value. Because this might result in diminishing adhesive efficiency especially in human bodies where the operation temperature reaches 37 centigrade degrees.
