The effect of the addition of metallic salts and sulfuric acid on the radiation grafting reaction was investigated when MMA was grafted to the irradiated UHMWPE. The adhesive characteristics with the grafting yield were investigated using conventional acrylic bone cement based on poly(methyl methacrylate) [PMMA]. The results showed that the inclusion of an $${\text{FeSO}}_{\text{4}} \cdot {\text{7H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}$$ and sulfuric acid in MMA grafting solutions was extremely beneficial and led to a most unusual synergistic effect, while $${\text{CuSO}}_{\text{4}} \cdot 5{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}$$ led to a detrimental effect. The tensile bonding strength between UHMWPE and PMMA sheet increased remarkably with an increased grafting yield on UHMWPE surfaces.
