Conventional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement has been successfully used in arthroplasties of hip, knee and other joints for the fixation of polymer or metallic prosthetic implants to living bone; however, it still has some potential problems and risks, such as poor adhesion of bone cement to bone surface and high exothermic reaction during the polymerization<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Properties of Strontium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It has an atomic number of 38, an atomic mass of 88, one oxidation state (+2) and four naturally occurring isotopes (<sup>84<\/sup>Sr,&nbsp;<sup>86<\/sup>Sr,&nbsp;<sup>87<\/sup>Sr,&nbsp;<sup>88<\/sup>Sr), of which 88Sr is the most abundant at 82.6% of the total mass.<\/li><li>Strontium is most similar chemically to the heavier alkali earth elements, Calcium, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/byjus.com\/chemistry\/barium\/\">Barium<\/a>.<\/li><li>Strontium is a lithophile metallic element.<\/li><li>The size of the Sr2+ ion (118 pm) is intermediate between those of Ca2+ (100 pm) and K+ (138 pm), for which it may substitute in a variety of rock-forming minerals including K-feldspar, gypsum, plagioclase and, especially, calcite and dolomite, which are the main sources of Sr in stream water.<\/li><li>Some substitution for Ba also takes place in barite BaSO4 and witherite BaCO3.<\/li><li>Minerals of Sr are relatively rare but include strontianite SrCO3 and celestite SrSO4, which are mainly associated with hydrothermal deposits or pegmatites.<\/li><li>Strontium is strongly associated with calcium and is indicative of calcareous rocks, especially in association with Sr, Mg, and Ba. Where Ca and other elements indicate calcareous rocks and other elements (e.g., REEs) indicate felsic intrusives, bedrock geology may be favorable for skarn mineralization.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strontium Symbol Sr Atomic Number 38 Atomic Mass 87.62 g.mol&nbsp;-1 Discovered by Adair Crawford in 1790 Chemical Properties of Strontium Group 2 Melting point 777\u00b0C, 1431\u00b0F, 1050 K Period 5 Boiling point 1377\u00b0C, 2511\u00b0F, 1650 K Block s Density (g cm\u22123) 2.64&nbsp; Atomic number 38 Relative atomic mass 87.62 State at 20\u00b0C Solid Key isotopes [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3002"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3002\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mudassirbackup.infinitycodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
