title: Data from: PMMA bone cement with L-Arginine/nano fish bone nanocomplex to generate apatite formation

description: This study observed apatite growth in nano fish bone (NFB) processed from
 fish bone waste and used it in Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement.
 PMMA was synthesized using the emulsion polymerization method, and the
 content of the sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) surfactant was varied to
 control particle size and uniformity. Apatite growth is an approach for
 bone regeneration to optimize bone repair and restore bone function.
 Generally, this property is attributed to hydroxyapatite, which can be
 derived from fish bone waste. PSA characterization showed that the
 addition of SDS could reduce the particle size from 102.8 nm without SDS
 to 42.1 nm with 5 wt% SDS. SEM characterization revealed agglomeration due
 to the very small particle size at a 5 wt% SDS addition. The addition of
 NFB to PMMA produced bone cement with a 1.65 Ca:P content ratio and an
 average particle size of 757.5 nm. L-Arginine was also added to PMMA to
 increase the biocompatibility and antibiotic properties of the bone
 cement. Tensile strength tests were conducted on the bone cement samples.
 The BC-PMMA-1-NFB/L-Arg sample exhibited better tensile strength than
 commercial PMMA. The immersion test showed an increase in mass after seven
 days of immersion in the SBF solution, indicating the possibility of
 forming an apatite layer.
description: <strong>Solid Content
 Data</strong> Solid
 content data are calculated using the equation Solid% = [Wf] / [Ws] (1),
 where Wf is the weight of the dried emulsion, and Ws is the weight of the
 undried emulsion. Solid content data are contained in the file 'Table
 3 Solid Content'.  <strong>FTIR Raw Data</strong>
 Raw
 data from FTIR scans (wavenumber (cm^-1) vs transmittance (%)) of PMMA and
 Nano Fish Bone (NFB) are presented. FTIR raw data is contained in the
 files 'Fig 1a FTIR PMMA' and 'Fig 3 FTIR
 NFB'. <strong>PSA Raw Data</strong>
 Data
 from the nanoparticle analyzer (diameter (nm) vs Qi (%)) of PMMA-x-SDS is
 presented. PSA raw data is in the file 'Fig 1b Particle Size'.
 We write 'n/a' in cells B96, C96, D93-D96, E92-E96, F92-F96,
 G95-G96, H94-H96, I94-I96, K96, and L96 because that is the result
 obtained from the particle size analysis characterization, and those cells
 have no values. <strong>EDX Raw Data</strong>
 EDX
 energy dispersive (eV) vs. arbitrary intensity data for the NFB sample are
 presented. The EDX raw data shows the weight percentages and atomic
 percentages for calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). EDX raw data is contained
 in the file 'Fig 4b EDX NFB'. <strong>XRD Raw
 Data</strong> Raw data
 from XRD analysis (2θ (°) vs. intensity (arbitrary unit)) of NFB and PMMA
 are presented. XRD raw data is contained in the file 'Fig 5 XRD PMMA
 NFB'. <strong>Mechanical Properties and
 Mass Change Data</strong> Data from mechanical test results and mass
 changes of all samples are presented. Mechanical properties and mass
 change data can be found in the file 'Fig 7 8 9 Mechanical Properties
 and Mass Change'. We write 'null' in cells D2, D7, E2, and
 E7 on the 'mechanical properties' sheet because the Young's
 Modulus calculation for the BC-Commercial sample was not
 performed.
