Calcium metaphosphate (CMP) fine powders were produced by a chemical precipitation method. In order to produce the powders, CMP was prepared by the mixing of two precursors, such as calcium oxide (CaO) and phosphate acid (H3PO4). Sparingly soluble chemicals, the Ca/P ratio of the mixture was set to be 0.50 to produce stoichiometric CMP, were chemical agitated in phosphate acid solution. At least 3 hours of pre-hydrolysis of phosphorus precursor were required to obtain CMP phase. The CMP powders were dried in a drying oven at 60°C for 72 hours and then heat-treated at various temperatures at a ramp of 1°C /min in air for various hours. The obtained powder was analyzed using XRD, XRF, FT-IR, SEM, TG-DTA, Zeta Potential Meter, Specific Surface Area, and Particle Size Analyzer. The results showed that obtained CMP powders have a significantly powder characteristics.
This Magnesium-doped calcium polyphosphate (MCPP) porous bioceramics of different magnesium content were prepared by the method of solid reaction sintering. The effect of magnesium on the structure and density of magnesium-doped calcium polyphosphate bioceramics was studied. Phases, cross section morphologies and porosity of MCPP bioceramics were analyzed with X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that MCPP ceramics were successfully prepared by the solid reaction sintering, and the bending strength of ceramics began to increase and then to decrease with increasing amounts of magnesium content apart with the improvement of the stability improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
