The mechanism for phosphate cement hydraulic reaction is determined. The microscopic process is described by means of scanning electronic microscope, X-ray diffraction analysis,infrared spectrophotometry and differential heat analysis. The results show the three main phases are present, i.e. hydromagnesium phosphates, Mg (OH)2and MgO phase. The type, structure, and amount of every phase play an important role in phosphate cement properties. Hydromagnesium phosphate phase structure has a close relation to phosphate cement setting and hardening. The development of strength has much to do with the formed crystalline directing.
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.
