Gamma dicalcium silicate (γ-2CaO∙SiO2, abbreviated as γ-C2S) is considered a potential candidate construction material owing to its high carbonation reactivity and consequent CO2 absorption. This study investigates the diffusion of CO2, physical process, into hardened cement paste resulting carbonation, chemical process. diffuses from region concentration one lower concentration, which inner co...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was developed in early 1990s and has been successfully used for root perforation repair, root end filling, and one-visit apexification. MTA is composed mainly of tricalcium silicate and dicalcium silicate. When MTA is hydrated, calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) and calcium hydroxide is formed. Formed calcium hydroxide interacts with the phosphate ion in body fluid ...

acceptor/donor or Lewis acid-base (AB) terms, in regulating not only the rates of these reactions but also in determining the solubility behavior of the crystal, S,. For a considerable number of compounds, the solubilities show a general increase as the solidlliquid interfacial tensions (~sL) decrease, but despite suggestions to the contrary, the relationship between ysL and logs, should not ne...

This paper presents a simple method for the rapid synthesis of magnetite/hydroxyapatite composite particles. In this method, superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles are first synthesized by coprecipitation using ferrous chloride and ferric chloride. Immediately following the synthesis, carbonate-substituted (B-type) hydroxyapatite particles are mechanochemically synthesized by wet milling dic...

The aim of the study was to develop and physicochemicaly characterize single unit controlled delivery system of Theophylline and was formulated as floating matrix tablet by direct compression method using gas generating agent (sodium bicarbonate) and various viscosity grades of hydrophilic polymers (HPMC K15M, K4M; HPC and Carbapol 934P). Formulation was optimized on the basis of buoyancy and i...

The experiment was made on a Lohmann Brown classic hybrid from 32 to 42 weeks of age. There were used feeds containing various levels of Ca, P or phytase: NC1 and NC2 were commercial recipes, NC3 was supplemented with Phyzyme (500 TFU/kg), NC4 was supplemented with monosodium phosphate and NC5 with dicalcium phosphate according to nutrient requirements (NRC 1998). There was tested the possibili...

Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) were prepared using mixtures of tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) and dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA), with TTCP/DCPA molar ratios of 1/1, 1/2, or 1/3, with the powder and water as the liquid. Diametral tensile strength (DTS), porosity, and phase composition (powder x-ray diffraction) were determined after the set specimens have been immersed in a physiological...

In recent years, graphene and its derivatives have attracted much interest in various fields, including biomedical applications. In particular, increasing attention has been paid to the effects of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on cellular behaviors. On the other hand, dicalcium phosphate (DCP) has been widely used in dental and pharmaceutical fields. In this study, DCP composites coated with rGO...
