Compressive stress of bio-composite bone cements. Compressive stress of pure PMMA (Pure P) is higher than that of different bio-composite bone cements. The ultimate compressive stress of the specimens decreased from 127.4 ± 16.8 MPa for Pure P to 109.0 ± 0.6, 107.5 ± 4.9, 108.8 ± 3.5, 90.3 ± 6.7, and 72.1 ± 6.2 MPa for P3TC1, P2TC1, P1TC1, P1TC2, and P1TC3, respectively (n = 12, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 when compared to Pure P)
