Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance study of setting mechanism of beta-tricalcium phosphate-inositol phosphate composite cements

IR

Abstract

Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a technique, which can be used to provide insight into the chemical structure of non-crystalline and crystalline materials. Hence, the present study aimed to elucidate the setting mechanism of CPC, which was fabricated using beta -tricalcium phosphate (beta -TCP)-inositol phosphate (IP6) composite powder using NMR In addition, the effect of IP6 on the local chemical structure of the beta -TCP-IP6 composite powder and its hardened cement would also be investigated. The H-1 -> P-31 heteronuclear correlation NMR spectrum revealed that an amorphous hydrated layer, along with small amount of hydroxyapatite (HA) was formed on the surface of beta -TCP during the ball-milling process. Results demonstrated that the IP6 in the hydrated layer on the surface of beta -TCP inhibited the formation of HA. Moreover, the setting reaction of the cement was mainly triggered by the dissolution of the amorphous hydrated layer on beta -TCP surface, and subsequent precipitation, followed by the inter-entanglement between the HA crystals on the beta -TCP.
