Fabrication of a glycerol-citrate polymer coated tricalcium phosphate bone cements: Structural investigation and material properties

α-Tricalcium phosphate is an important ingredient of calcium phosphate bone cements, which are used for bone defect augmentation and repair. In this study sub-micrometre sized αtricalcium phosphate particles were synthesized by heat treating amorphous calcium phosphate. Size of synthesized particles depended on duration and temperature of heat treatment. Longer duration and higher temperatures produced larger particles. The reactivity of synthesized particles did not correlate with particle size – the smallest particles did not have the highest reactivity. The most reactive particles were prepared at 700-800 °C. The prepared particles were more reactive than those of conventionally synthesized α-tricalcium phosphate.

Calcium Phosphate Cements

Conventional calcium phosphate bone cements are self setting water based pastes. Recently pre-mixed calcium phosphate bone cements have been proposed that have non-aqueous fluid as liquid phase of the paste. Such cements thus only start setting reaction in contact with body fluids. In this work the properties (cohesion, compressive strength, phase composition) of pre-mixed calcium phosphate cements based on α-tricalcium phosphate and calcium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate are described. Properties of several cement compositions are examined and compared to properties of β-tricalcium phosphate and calcium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate based cements. It was found that α-tricalcium phosphate and calcium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate based cements have higher compressive strength (10 - 15 MPa) than corresponding β-tricalcium phosphate and calcium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate based cements (10 - 6 MPa). Out of examined cement paste liquids (glycerol, polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol) cements using glycerol as the liquid phase had higher compressive strength and are more cohesive.
