Six different tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) products were synthesized by solid state reaction at high temperature by varying the overall calcium to phosphate ratio of the synthesis mixture. The objective was to evaluate the effect of the calcium to phosphate ratio on a TTCP-dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) cement. The resulting six TTCP-DCPD cement mixtures were characterized using X-ray di...

Reported here is a battery in the form of a cement-matrix composite, with cement paste as the matrix, the pore solution in cement as the electrolyte, zinc particles dispersed in the matrix as the anode, manganese dioxide particles dispersed in the matrix as the cathode, and carbon black dispersed in the matrix as the conductive additive in both anode and cathode regions. The electrolyte is cont...

In this research, effect of soaking time of a new synthesized hydroxyapatite-based bone cement in simulated body fluid (SBF) on the final phase and strength has been studied. The powder section of the cement has been synthesized by using tricalcium phosphate, calcium carbonate and anhydrous dicalcium phosphate. The liquid phase of the cement consists of different concentrations of NaH2PO4.2H2O....

This article contains data of time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) analysis of brushite-forming calcium phosphate cements doped with biologically active metal ions. This data are related to the research article "Cu2+, Co2+ and Cr3+ doping of a calcium phosphate cement influences materials properties and response of human mesenchymal stromal cells" (Schamel et al., 2017) [1]...

Addition of sugar surfactants, sucrose fatty acid esters and alkylpolyglucosides to a calcium phosphate cement, designed for bone reconstruction, is described. Thanks to their adsorption at the surface of the calcium phosphate particles, the sugar surfactants allowed a full injectability and brought a very good workability. Injectability was measured by monitoring force-distance curves. With so...
