ABSTRACT: The present paper reports on the effect of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) addition on injectability, setting behaviour, and mechanical properties of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) for injectable bone filling applications. Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, and diammonium hydrogen phosphate, (NH4)2HPO4, have been used as precursors in wet chemical precipitation synthesis of hydroxyapatite powder. Cement paste was prepared with different powder-to-liquid ratios, varied at 1.0, 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0. The incorporation of PEG was also varied at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 wt% at the powder-to-liquid ratio of 1.3. The CPC produced was then evaluated in terms of injectability, setting time and mechanical strength. The results indicated that PEG addition significantly improved setting time, injectability, as well as compressive strength of CPC. Without PEG, the initial setting time ranged between 3 and 122 min, while the final setting time ranged between 5 and 277 min. The addition of PEG has significantly improved setting time where the initial setting time ranged from 47 to 88 min and the final setting time ranged from 182 to 228 min. The extrusion load decreased when PEG was added, which revealed an improvement in injectability; 82.5% without PEG addition and 95.5% when 5% PEG was added. The compressive strength of CPC is in the range of 0.59 to 1.344 MPa and its porosity is in the range of 39.2% to 47.1%. With the incorporation of PEG, the compressive strength greatly increased to the range of 1.167 and 1.786 MPa.. ABSTRAK: Penyelidikan ini melaporkan tentang kesan menambah polietilina glikol (PEG) terhadap sifat-sifat simen kalsium fosfat seperti keupayaan suntikan, masa pengerasan dan kekuatan mekanikal. Kalsium hidroksida dan diammonium hidrogen fosfat digunakan sebagai reagen dalam kaedah pemendakan kimia basah bagi menghasilkan serbuk hidroksiapatit. Pes simen disediakan dengan nisbah serbuk kepada cecair yang berbeza, dengan nisbah 1.0, 1.3, 1.5 dan 2.0. Kemudian, PEG ditambah ke dalam simen kalsium fosfat dengan kepekatan yang berbeza, bernilai 1, 2, 3, 4 dan 5 wt% bagi 1.3 nisbah serbuk kepada cecair. Simen yang terhasil diuji bagi menilai keupayaan suntikan, masa pengerasan dan kekuatan mekanikal. Keputusan ujian-ujian tersebut menunjukkan bahawa penambahan PEG ke dalam simen telah meningkatkan kebolehan simen untuk disuntik, mengurangkan masa pengerasan simen dan meningkatkan kekuatan mekanikal simen. Simen tanpa PEG mempunyai masa pengerasan awal daripada 3 min kepada 122 min dan masa pengerasan akhir daripada 5 min kepada 277 min. Apabila PEG ditambah, masa pengerasan simen menjadi lebih baik dengan masa pengerasan awal daripada 47 min kepada 88 min dan masa pengerasan akhir daripada 182 min kepada 228 min. Peningkatan dalam keupayaan simen untuk disuntik telah dibuktikan dengan pengurangan beban penyempitan apabila PEG ditambah ke dalam simen. Simen tanpa PEG mempunyai 82.5% keupayaan suntikan dan meningkat kepada 95.5% apabila 5% PEG ditambah. Kekuatan mampatan simen bernilai antara 0.59 dan 1.334 MPa dan keliangan simen bernilai antara 39.2% dan 47.1%. Kekuatan mampatan simen meningkat dengan ketara apabila PEG ditambah, bernilai antara 1.167 dan 1.786 Mpa.

Abstract Several strength grades of sulphoaluminate cement concrete were designed, and the mechanical properties with different mix ratios were studied. This paper mainly analyzes the mechanical properties of sulphoaluminate cement concrete with the setting time test, compressive strength test and flexural test. The test results show that the setting time of cement concrete can be controlled by mixing different admixtures. One hand, the initial setting time increases from 34 min to 340 min, and the final setting time increases from 57 min to 580 min when the incorporated borax content changes from 0 to 1.0 %. Other hand, the initial setting time decreased from 34 min to 11 min, and the final setting time increased from 57 min to 18 min, when the incorporated borax content changed from 0 to 0.5 %. Furthermore, the compressive strength can reach 40 MPa, and the flexural strength can reach more than 2.5MPa after 6 hours of curing. The experiment results illustrate that the setting time and the mechanical properties satisfy the needs of the rapid construction requirements under normal temperature conditions.

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the compressive strength and setting time of MTA and Portland cement (PC) associated with bismuth oxide (BO), zirconium oxide (ZO), calcium tungstate (CT), and strontium carbonate (SC). Methods. For the compressive strength test, specimens were evaluated in an EMIC DL 2000 apparatus at 0.5 mm/min speed. For evaluation of setting time, each material was analyzed using Gilmore-type needles. The statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA and the Tukey tests, at 5% significance. Results. After 24 hours, the highest values were found for PC and PC + ZO. At 21 days, PC + BO showed the lowest compressive strength among all the groups. The initial setting time was greater for PC. The final setting time was greater for PC and PC + CT, and MTA had the lowest among the evaluated materials (P<0.05). Conclusion. The results showed that all radiopacifying agents tested may potentially be used in association with PC to replace BO.

This paper deals with the setting time and pozzolanic activity of cement when ultra fine natural steatite powder (UFNSP) is used as replacement for cement. Initial setting time, final setting time, and mortar cube strength were studied, due to the replacement of ultra fine natural steatite powder with cement at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% by mass of cement. The setting time of fresh cement-binder paste and compressive strength of mortar cubes are observed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were applied to investigate the microstructural behaviour and chemical element distribution inside cement-binder matrix. Results indicate that the length of dormant period is shortened. The replacement of ultra fine natural steatite powder with cement reduces initial setting time, and final setting time and increases mortar cube compressive strength.

It is studied the influence of triethanolamine (TEA), diethylenetriamine (DEA), Triisopropanolamine (TIPA), aminoethyl ethanolamine (AE), and polyvinyl alcohol ammonium phosphate (PAAP) at different dosages on the properties of fresh and hardened cement pastes and mortars prepared by Portland cement, including standard consistency water, setting time, the cement paste fluidity, and compressive and flexural strength. It is showed that the high polarity alcohol amine molecules exhibit strong chemical interactions with cement matrix, which are reflected in modified macroscopic properties of the cement system. All alcohol amine admixtures increased the standard consistency water and decreased cement paste fluidity of Portland cement. TEA significantly shortened the initial setting time and final setting time of Portland cement. On the other hand, TIPA, DEA, AE and PAAP extended the initial setting time of cement but shortened the cement final setting time. All alcohol amine admixtures except TIPA at 0.2 and 0.5 dosage increased the compressive and flexural strength of the Portland cement mortars at 3 days. Especially when the dosage of PAAP is 1, the compressive strength of the Portland cement mortars at 3 days is increased 10.5MPa. All alcohol amine admixtures except AE at 0.2 and 0.5 dosage increase the compressive and flexural strength of the Portland cement mortars at 28 days, Especially when the dosage of TIPA is 1, the compressive strength of the Portland cement mortars at 28 days is increased 8.8MPa.

The effects of triethanolamine on the compressive strength and setting time of fly ash cementitious materials, slag cementitious materials, and limestone cementitious materials were investigated. The results show that the dosage of 0.04% of triethanolamine can significantly improve the 3d, 7d and 28d compressive strength of fly ash cementitious materials. It possesses less impact on the setting time. The dosage of 0.04% of triethanolamine can significantly improve the 3d and 7d compressive strength of slag cementitious materials while the effect of late strength is not obvious. It extends the initial setting time and the final setting time is not changed, which has retarding effect. The results of hydration heat and XRD show that triethanolamine extends the induction period of cement hydration, and gypsum is exhausted in advance during the hydration process. Triethanolamine promotes the transformation of AFt to AFm and there is no effect on the type of hydration products.

In the present study, ZrO2 was added into the injectable calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) to improve their mechanical strength. Different mass fractions of ZrO2 (5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20%) were mixed with the powder components consisted of tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA). Then formed the paste via adding the liquid component consisted of citric acid. The compressive strength, the injectability, the initial setting time and finial time of CPC were measured, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was employed to analyse the phase of as-prepared CPC. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy dispersive spertrum (EDS) were used to observe the morphology and indicate the element components of CPC. The compressive strength of ZrO2-CPC was higher than that of CPC without added ZrO2. The compressive strength got the maximal when the mass fraction of ZrO2 was 15%. It had no effect on the injectability with adding ZrO2, which were 89 % to 92 %. It had a slight down-regulation of the initial and final setting time with adding ZrO2. SEM showed that there was amounts needle-like substance in CPC, which might be related to the improvement of compressive strength of CPC. XRD showed that there were HA, a few of α-TCP and ZrO2 diffraction peaks in CPCs. The present results indicate that it is feasible to improve the compressive strength of injectable CPC via adding ZrO2.

Effects of various amounts of ground limestone on the setting time, fluidity and compressive strength of high alumina cement were described in this paper. Microstructure analyses were performed by SEM. The results indicate that the initial setting time, the final setting time, the fluidity and the compressive strength of the pastes increase first and decrease later with the ground limestone content increasing, all of which reach the maximum when the ground limestone content is 3%. Meanwhile, an increase of the fineness of the ground limestone produces a shorter setting time, the fluidity of the pastes increases when the content of the ground limestone increases, and the compressive strength of the hardened pastes increases with the ground limestone content increasing and decreases with water-binder ratio increasing. The 28d strength of the pure high alumina cement paste is lower than the 3d strength, appearing the strength shrinkage, which can be improved by a proper addition of the ground limestone.

The effect of calcium nitrate (CN) dosages from 0 to 3% (of cement mass) on the properties of fresh cement paste rheology and hardening processes and on the strength of hardened concrete with two types of limestone-blended composite cements (CEM II A-LL 42.5 R and 42.5 N) at different initial (two-day) curing temperatures (−10 °C to +20 °C) is presented. The rheology results showed that a CN dosage up to 1.5% works as a plasticizing admixture, while higher amounts demonstrate the effect of increasing viscosity. At higher CN content, the viscosity growth in normal early strength (N type) cement pastes is much slower than in high early strength (R type) cement pastes. For both cement-type pastes, shortening the initial and final setting times is more effective when using 3% at +5 °C and 0 °C. At these temperatures, the use of 3% CN reduces the initial setting time for high early strength paste by 7.4 and 5.4 times and for normal early strength cement paste by 3.5 and 3.4 times when compared to a CN-free cement paste. The most efficient use of CN is achieved at −5 °C for compressive strength enlargement; a 1% CN dosage ensures the compressive strength of samples at a −5 °C initial curing temperature, with high early strength cement exceeding 3.5 MPa but being less than the required 3.5 MPa in samples with normal early strength cement.
