In preliminary ageing test, the cement using only calcium phosphate glass as power phase cracked with 1 day in simulated body fluid because of high dissolution rate of the cement. We added 30 wt% of either β-TCP or HA to 70 wt% calcium phosphate glass as powder phase to control the dissolution rate of the cement and performed in vitro ageing test in simulated body fluid by dynamic protocol as well as static protocol to confirm the possibility of controlling. Adding either β-TCP or HA to the cement increases the setting time and decreases the compressive strength. In dynamic assay, the pH of extract is maintained over 7. However, pH decreased to around 5 in static assay. Therefore, weight loss by static protocol continuously increased for 14 days, while weight loss by dynamic protocol almost saturated. In XRD patterns of ageing cements, CaO peaks appeared. CaO peak was maximized most lately in dynamic assay of the cement adding HA and within 7 days, the cement adding HA showed higher weight loss. It is indicated that CaO formed in surface of the cement hinder the dissolution of the cement. In addition, compressive strength increased when the CaO peak was maximized.

The setting behaviour, the compressive strength and the porosity of four calcium alkali orthophosphate cements were examined under laboratory conditions (dry) and under conditions similar to those during clinical application (37°C, contact with body fluid). The results showed an increase of the setting times when specimens were covered with simulated body fluid. Especially, the final setting time (FHZ) was significantly higher for three of the four cements. Furthermore, when specimens were stored in SBF for 16h, an extensive decrease of the compressive strength was noted. The porosity was more than twice as high after 16h in SBF and this may be the cause for the great decrease of the compressive strength.

The mixed pastes of binary calcium phosphate glass with Ca/P ratio of 0.6 and distilled water were set after about 4 hr, while never set when calcium phosphate glass with Ca/P lower than 0.5. Their compressive strength was ranged from 16.0 to 23.3 MPa. When Na2HPO4 solution was used instead of distilled water as liquid phase, the setting time became drastically much shorter. As the mole concentration of Na2HPO4 solution increased from 0.25 M to 2 M, setting time was shortened to 35 min from almost 3 hr, but compressive strength decreased from 28.8 MPa to 13.2 MPa. At constant mole concentration, as the mass ratio of a powder to liquid ratio increased, setting time was shortened and maximum compressive strength was measured when a powder/liquid ratio was 2.5. However, no crystallized phases were detected either during setting or after complete setting. The XRD , FT-IR and SEM examinations indicated that calcium phosphate glass dissolved and then glass phase precipitated again. We concluded, therefore, that Na2HPO4 just affected the kinetics of dissolution and precipitation of CPG. The mechanism of hardening has yet to be studied.

Titanium-based composites with bioactive phases were produced with TiH2and 10% in volume of calcium phosphate. The mixtures were prepared either by conventional powder metallurgy processing or by ultrasound, dried in a rotary evaporator, pressed at 600 MPa and vacuum-sintered at 1200 °C for 2 hours. Crystal phases of the as-fabricated composites are found to be α-Ti, CaTiO3and TixPyphase (s). The TixPyand CaTiO3phases resulted from the reaction between titanium and tricalcium phosphate at about 1130 °C. Calcium phosphate was better dispersed by ultrasound leading to a higher compressive strength of the composite and a more uniform Ca-P deposition in simulated body fluid solution.

AbstractThe biopolymer (polyhydroxybutyrate) microparticles-calcium phosphate composites were prepared by mechanical mixing of the basic composite components with the addition of hardening liquid after ethanol-composite mixture suspension moulding. The composite microstructures were more compact than the pure cement samples as confirmed by the lower values of specific areas and mesopore volumes. Both the specific areas and mesopore volumes decreased with soaking time in a simulated body fluid. The low polyhydroxybutyrate degradation in composites was found after soaking in simulated body fluid, which was terminated after one week. The formation of a dense apatite layer bonded directly to the surface of polyhydroxybutyrate microparticles was observed. The highest diametral tensile strength (13 MPa) and compressive strength (95 MPa) values of up to 50 % higher than in pure cement were measured in samples with 10 % of polyhydroxybutyrate. The addition of polyhydroxybutyrate microparticles had no effect on the setting time.

The development of phosphate glasses for use in orthopaedic implants has attracted much interest because their chemical and physical properties make them suitable for use as bone-bonding materials. We prepared various compositions of CaO-P2O5-MO or CaO-P2O5-M2O (M: K, Li, Na, Mg, Zn) glasses to measure ion release, solubility and bioactivity. The compositions with (Ca,M)/P molar ratio 0.6 were fixed P2O5 mol% content at 45.45 mol%, and varying MO or M2O mol% at 10, 20 and 30 mol%. Ca2+ ion release properties were investigated in 0.1M potassium acetate with pH 6 at 37oC by immersing 50 mg of powder into 100 ml of acidic buffer solution. The highest and lowest extent of released Ca2+ ion was observed for composition with 10 mol% of K2O and 30 mol% of MgO, respectively. The weight loss in distilled water at 37oC was measured. Solubility increased with decreasing CaO content, but decreased with increasing MgO content. Bioactivity in the simulated body fluid at 37oC was measured.

This work has achieved a novel self-setting biphase porous calcium phosphate cement (CPC). This biphase porous CPC is mainly formed by α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). The influence of the weight percent (wt%) of β-TCP of the powder was studied. The setting time is mainly 10-30min, and increasing with the weight percent of β-TCP. Powder ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that most α-TCP have turned to low-crystallinized HA after immersed in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) of 37°C for 7 days. SEM observation showed that the resultants are mainly formed with micropores and microcrystallites, and more micropores turned out in cements with more β-TCP after immersed in SBF for 8 weeks.

This study was to develop an injectable biocompatible and porous calcium phosphate collagen composite cement scaffold by in situ setting. TTCP was prepared as main material of the CPC powder, and the collagen solution was added into the phosphoric acid directly to form the liquid phase. The injectable time (tI), setting time (tS) and setting temperature (TS), along with the PH value were recorded during the setting process. The compressive strength, morphology and porosity were tested. With the increase of collagen, this novel CPC get a tI of 5mins to 8mins, tS of 20mins to 30mins, compressive strength from 1.5MPa to 4MPa, and the porosity from 40% to 60%. This study gave a possibility to form a porous scaffold of collagen/CPC composite with the nature of injectability and setting in situ.

Self-setting calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has been used in bone repair and substitution due to their excellent biocompatibility, bioactive as well as simplicity of preparation and use. The inherent brittleness and slow degradation are the major disadvantages for the use of calcium phosphate cements. To improve the degradation for the traditional CPC, the apatite cement formula incorporated with β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) with varying concentration were studied and the effect of the pH value of liquid phase on the properties of this new calcium phosphate cement formula was evaluated. The apatite cements containing β-TCP for 10 and 40 wt.% were mixed into the aqueous solution with different pH values and then aging in absolute humidity at 37°C for 7 days. The setting time and phase analysis of the biphasic calcium phosphate were determined as compared to the apatite cement. For proper medical application, the compressive strength, the phase analysis and the degradation of the CPC samples at pH 7.0 and 7.4 were evaluated after soaking in the simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37°C for 7 days. The results indicated that the properties of the samples such as the setting time, the compressive strength related to the phase analysis of the set cements. The high degradation of the CPC was found in the cement with increasing β-TCP addition due to the phase after setting. Apatite formation with oriented plate-like morphology was also found to be denser on the surface of the biphasic bone cements after soaking in SBF for 7 days. The obtained results indicated that the cement containing β-TCP mixed with the liquid phase at pH 7.4 could be considered as a highly biodegradable and bioactive bone cement, as compared to the traditional CPC.
