A bioactive PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) bone cement contains a powder component and a reactive monomer liquid, wherein the powder component and the reactive monomer liquid when mixed with one another react with one another and form a polymer-based solid material. The powder component contains particulate polymer powder of polymethylmethacrylates; a radical starter; and anionic copolymer nanoparticles. The anionic copolymer nanoparticles are distributed in nano-particulate form within the particulate powder component or coated as a film on particles of the particulate polymer powder.
