Description

The incorporation of BaSO4 containing cotton threads into acrylic matrices was studied, as a means of reinforcing the polymer and producing radiopacity at the same time. Coating the threads with a thin poly(vinyl acetate) film containing BaSO4 was defined as the most suitable method, providing strength and wettability to the fibres. A percentage of about 10 p.h.r. fibres can be characterized as satisfactory for both objectives, i.e. radiopacity and reinforcement. (EN)
