The experimental results show that compared with STP addition, compositing STP with polycarboxylate （PC） plasticizer, the final setting time is prolonged from 0.5h to 2hs. While formulating STP with naphthalene-based plasticizer （NAP） or sulfonate melamine formaldehyde plasticizer （SMF）, the final setting time is reduced to quarter of an hour. Similar changes can also be found in the rate of exothermic hydration and hydration degree. Formulating STP with suitable addition of PC can enhance the strength, while compositing STP and NAP or SMF weakens the strength. Besides, adding STP or STP and SMF, obvious movement （more than 1ev） of binding energy of Ca2p1/2 and Ca2p3/2 is detected. Compared with STP addition, content of the characteristic element （P） of STP is cut down form 1.1% to 0.49% by compositing STP with SMF. Furthermore, as hydration age increases, hydration inhibition in the presence of admixtures weakens and even disappears within 56 h.展开更多

High percentage of α-HH is obviously needed for medical applications, especially for implantation. Three commercially available calcium sulfate dihydrates (DH, CaSO4·2H2O) with different sizes and surface morphologies were used as starting materials to synthesize high percentage α-HH via a hydrothermal method. The median particle sizes of the three types of DH were 946.7 μm, 162.4 μm and 62.4 μm, respectively. They were named as DH-L, DH-M and DH-S in this paper. The particle size distribution, morphology and phase composition of the raw materials were evaluated before synthesis. SEM results revealed that DH-L consisted of irregular large particles, while DH-M and DH-S were composed of plate-like particles with some small ones. High percentage HH can be obtained with proper synthesis parameters by hydrothermal method, specifically, 105 °C/90 min for DH-L (achieving 98.8% HH), 105°C/30 min for DH-M (achieving 96.7% HH) and 100°C/45 min for DH-S (achieving 98.4% HH). All the synthesized HH were hexagonal columns, demonstrating that they were α-phase HH. The particle size and morphology of starting material (DH) have significant influences on not only the rate of phase transition but also the morphology of the synthesized α-HH. Calcium sulfate dihydrate cements were prepared by the synthesized α-HH. The highest compressive strength of calcium sulfate dihydrate cement was 17.2 MPa. The results show that the preparation of high percentage α-HH is feasible via a hydrothermal method and the process can be further scaled up to industrial scale production.展开更多

Its effects on the blood and the biocompatibility were studied to ensure its safety for the bone implantation application.Method: The hemolytic tests were conducted to evaluate the blood compatibility of theα-calcium sulfate hemihydrate. The extracts ofα-calcium sulfate hemihydrate with different concentration reacted with 2% rabbit red blood cell suspension. The existence and morphology of the red blood were observed through naked eye observation and microscope observation. The hemolytic ratios were calculated through the absorbances using a ultraviolet spectrophotometer.Result:It was observed by naked eye that the red blood accumulated at the bottom of the test tubes and the upper liquids were clear, colorless and transparent in the experimental sample. The microscope observation exhibited that the cells of the experimental samples had the normal morphology, no deformed and broken blood sell existed. The hemolytic ratios of the experimental sample were all less than 5%. The hemolytic ratios were increased with the increase of the concentration of the extracts. Conclusions: The hemolytic ratios of the medical -calcium sulfate hemihydrate accorded with the standard ISO/TR7405-1984(E). It could be concluded the material would not cause acute hemolysis. The osteogenic property exhibited dose dependence.展开更多

To obtainα-CSH with the satisfactory performances, a facile hydrothermal-aging pretreatment process for FGD gypsum raw materials was proposed, where FGD gypsum was firstly hydrothermally converted to α-CSH whiskers, and α-CSH whiskers were further hydrated to synthesize CaSO4·2H2O (CSD) by aging under the regulation of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA). The effects of aging time, MBA addition, aging temperature, and pH on the morphology of the synthesized CSD were investigated. The synthesized CSD crystals exhibit highly uniform prismatic morphology with the length of ca 100μm and the whiteness of 91.56%. The regulation mechanism of MBA was also illustrated. The synthesized CSD crystals with prismatic morphology were further used as raw materials to synthesize the short columnar α-CSH. The absolute dry compressive strength of paste prepared from the short columnar α-CSH is 40.85 MPa, which reaches α40 strength grade.展开更多

X-ray diffraction (XRD),thermogra-vimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC),optical micrograph,X-ray photoelectron spec-troscopy (XPS),energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS),and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been employed to characterize the α-HH crystals,based on which the formation and growth mecha-nisms of the α-HH crystals have been discussed. The results show that FGD gypsum can be success-fully transformed into high purity α-HH in salt solution under mild conditions,and that a dissolu-tion-recrystallization route is most probably adopted by this transition. The growth of α-HH crystals in salt solution demonstrates a preferred direction along [001] and results in a bundle-of-sheets or bun-dle-of-raphide texture. The characteristics revealed in this study can help to understand and control the growth of the α-HH crystal from solution.展开更多
