Abstract

      Tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) is one of the calcium phosphate materials currently used in medical
applications, especially for “Bone Cement”. This research aims to study the synthesis of TTCP using calcium carbonate
(CaCO3) or calcium oxide (CaO), combined with dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) though a solid-state reaction
process. The average particle size and particle size distribution of raw and synthesized compounds were examined using particle size analyzer. The crystalline phase composition was examined using X-ray diffraction. Morphological observation was done using scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results showed that no significant difference in physical characteristics, microstructure, average particle size and particle size distribution of the synthesized compounds from both CaCO3/DCPD and CaO/DCPD. The crystal structure of the compound derived from CaCO3 and DCPD exhibited the major crystal structure of TTCP. It was different, from the synthesized compound derived from CaO and DCPD exhibited the crystal structure of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) with other calcium phosphate forms, such as hydroxyapatite and TTCP. However, the coexisting compounds are the calcium phosphate materials
that can still be used in biomedical applications.
