Effect of the calcium to phosphorus ratio on the setting properties of calcium phosphate bone cements
α-Tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) has become the main reactant of most experimental and commercial ceramic bone cements. It has calcium-to-phosphorus (Ca/P) ratio of 1.50. The present study expands and reports on...

Ultrasound monitoring of the setting of calcium-based bone cements
In this study, the setting of calcium-sulphate (CS) and -phosphate (CP) based bone cements (BCs) was monitored by ultrasound. The objective was to link acoustic and material properties of ceramic-based BCs fro...

Monitoring the setting of calcium-based bone cements using pulse-echo ultrasound
We present a new technique, based on pulse-echo ultrasound, for monitoring the entire setting process of injectable bone cement. This research has been motivated by the lack of satisfying standards. The main p...

The effects of temperature on the behaviour of an apatitic calcium phosphate cement
An apatitic calcium phosphate cement is obtained by mixing α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) and precipitated hydroxyapatite into a cement powder, and by then mixing this powder with an aqueous solution of Na2HPO4 a...
