Characterization of the properties of the bone-filling materials. Water uptake (A) and volumetric expansion (B) of PBC, PGBCs, and PGBCm(n ​= ​5). Representative stress-strain curves (C), compressive strengths (D, E), and elastic moduli (F, G) of the materials before (D, F) and after (E, G) water immersion (n ​= ​5). Representative time-temperature curves (H), setting temperatures (I, n ​= ​3), max temperatures (J, n ​= ​3), dough times (K, n ​= ​5), and setting times (L, n ​= ​3) of each bone cement. (∗ indicates a significant difference between PGBCs or PGBCm and PBC, ∗P ​< ​0.05, ∗∗P ​< ​0.005; # indicates a significant difference between PGBCs and PGBCm, #P ​< ​0.05, ##P ​< ​0.005).
