Novel magnesium phosphate cements with high early strength and antibacterial properties

Facile synthesis of crystalline nanoporous Mg3(PO4)2 and its application to aerobic oxidation of alcohols

“…Hydrothermal synthesis is one of the widely used methods for obtaining the ordered framework structures bearing active sites within the structure to avoid leaching out of the active components otherwise common in supported catalysts. Magnesium phosphate is one of the important materials used for various biological applications related to bone and tissue engineering, and molecular level DNA delivery in the cells [2][3][4]. Further, the co-existence of acid sites along with strong basic sites in the material makes it suitable for various bi-functional organic transformations as catalyst [5].…”

Recent Progress in Chemically Bonded Phosphate Ceramics

“…There have been methodical attempts to develop bioactive dental and prosthetic cements using phosphates in the past [97] and also to exploit antibacterial properties of these materials [98]. Since CBPC materials are phosphate based, they are uniquely positioned to match with composition of bones and teeth, in which hydroxyl apatite, a calcium phosphate hydrate, is the main component.…”

Magnesium phosphate cements formulated with low grade magnesium oxide incorporating phase change materials for thermal energy storage

“…MPC is an acid-base cement that is part of the family of Chemically Bonded Phosphate Ceramics (CBPC). Due to its quick setting and early high strength, the main CBPC applications have been defined in the field of dentistry [7], stabilisation and encapsulation of hazardous and toxic wastes [8][9][10], and finally rapid repairing of roads, flooring, and concrete bridges [11,12]. However, in recent years, there is a tendency to expand their applications in other fields such as building.…”
