Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a radiopaque cement comprises reacting a polymer containing free carboxyl groups (generally a homo or copolymer of acrylic acid) with a particulate acid-leachable source of polyvalent metal ions (such as an acid-leachable glass) in the presence of water and strontium fluoride.
