Abstract
A self-setting calcium phosphate cement (CPC), consisting of tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) and dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCP A), reacts with water and hardens fast (30 min) to form hydroxyapatite (HA) under physiological conditions as the final product. Although this CPC is finding increasing use as a biomaterial, it is presently limited to low stress bearing applications because of its relatively low strength and highly brittle nature. Recently the mechanical properties of CPC reinforced with chopped carbon fiber have been reported.
