title = "Dicalcium pyrophosphate cement: Effect of powder to liquid ratio and in-vitro degradation",
abstract = "The effects of powder to liquid ratio on the compressive strength, relative porosity and the setting times of cement were analyzed. Pyrophosphate cement was produced from the mixture of polyphosphoric acid with water and between 1.25 and 2.75 grams of Plasma Biotal. Rietveld refinement of the X Ray Diffraction data revealed that the cement consisted of brushite, dicalcium pyrophosphate and Plasma Biotal. a cement was produced with a compressive strength of ~25 MPa, by altering the mixing ratios of the reactants.",
