Every year, millions of people in the world get bone diseases and need orthopedic surgery as one of the most important treatments. Owing to their superior properties, such as acceptable biocompatibility and providing great primary bone fixation with the implant, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based bone cements (BCs) are among the essential materials as fixation implants in different orthopedic and trauma surgeries. On the other hand, these BCs have some disadvantages, including Lack of bone formation and bioactivity, and low mechanical properties, which can lead to bone cement (BC) failure. Hence, plenty of studies have been concentrating on eliminating BC failures by using different kinds of ceramics and polymers for reinforcement and also by producing composite materials. This review article aims to evaluate mechanical properties, self-setting characteristics, biocompatibility, and bioactivity of the PMMA-based BCs composites containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene oxide (GO), and carbon-based compounds. In the present study, we compared the effects of CNTs and GO as reinforcement agents in the PMMA-based BCs. Upcoming study on the PMMA-based BCs should concentrate on trialing combinations of these carbon-based reinforcing agents as this might improve beneficial characteristics.

Carbon-based fillers have attracted a lot of interest in polymer composites because of their ability to alter beneficial properties at low filler concentrations, good surface bonding with polymers, availability in different forms, etc. Carbon-based materials (such as fullerene, CNTs, graphene, and graphite) have been studied as fillers with enhanced fire resistance to epoxy resins. In order to reduce the flammability and improve the thermal stability of epoxy resin-based nanocomposite materials, which can be achieved by a simultaneous combination of graphene oxide and multiwall carbon nanotubes, the graphite oxide (GO) epoxy nanomaterial was developed by 1% wt.% GO combined with 0.02 wand 0.04 wt.% MWCNT. The homogeneous dispersion of GO and MWCNTs in epoxy resins is supported by ultrasonic vibrations. The results showed that when nanocomposite materials were present at the same time MWCNTs and GO, their mechanical properties and fire resistance were significantly improved. Nanomaterials are characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and SEM imaging, mechanical strength, and flame retardant properties (LOI, UL94).

Although the properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are very well-known and are still extensively studied, a thorough understanding of other carbon-based nanomaterials such as C3N nanotubes (C3NNTs) is still missing. In this article, we used molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the effects of parameters such as chirality, diameter, number of walls, and temperature on the mechanical properties of C3N nanotubes, C3N nanobuds, and C3NNTs with various kinds of defects. We also modeled and tested the corresponding CNTs to validate the results and understand how replacing one C atom of CNT by one N atom affects the properties. Our results demonstrate that the Young’s modulus of single-walled C3NNTs (SWC3NNTs) increased with diameter, irrespective of the chirality, and was higher in armchair SWC3NNTs than in zigzag ones, unlike double-walled C3NNTs. Besides, adding a second and then a third wall to SWC3NNTs significantly improved their properties. In contrast, the properties of C3N nanobuds produced by attaching an increasing number of C60 fullerenes gradually decreased. Moreover, considering C3NNTs with different types of defects revealed that two-atom vacancies resulted in the greatest reduction of all the properties studied, while Stone–Wales defects had the lowest effect on them.
