Optimization of a calcium orthophosphate cement formulation occurring in the combination of monocalcium phosphate monohydrate with calcium oxide

Optimum composition for a mixture of monocalcium phosphate monohydrate and CaO is a Ca/P molar ratio of 1.35 plus or minus 0.02. The optimum water/powder ratio appears to be 0.53 plus or minus 0.01. Amounts of precipitated HAp, up to 7 wt%, increases the compressive strength and diametral tensile st...

Description
Summary:Optimum composition for a mixture of monocalcium phosphate monohydrate and CaO is a Ca/P molar ratio of 1.35 plus or minus 0.02. The optimum water/powder ratio appears to be 0.53 plus or minus 0.01. Amounts of precipitated HAp, up to 7 wt%, increases the compressive strength and diametral tensile strength of the cement.
