abstract = {ObjectiveTo characterize the microstructure of two zinc
phosphate cement formulations in order to investigate the
role of liquid/solid ratio and composition of powder
component, on the developed porosity and, consequently, on
compressive strength.MethodsX-ray powder diffraction with
the Rietveld method was used to study the phase composition
of zinc oxide powder and cements. Powder component and
cement microstructure were investigated with scanning
electron microscopy. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS)
and microfocus X-ray computed tomography (XmCT) were
together employed to characterize porosity and
microstructure of dental cements. Compressive strength tests
were performed to evaluate their mechanical
performance.ResultsThe beneficial effects obtained by the
addition of Al, Mg and B to modulate powder reactivity were
mitigated by the crystallization of a Zn aluminate phase not
involved in the cement setting reaction. Both cements showed
spherical pores with a bimodal distribution at the
micro/nano-scale. Pores, containing a low density gel-like
phase, developed through segregation of liquid during
setting. Increasing liquid/solid ratio from 0.378 to 0.571,
increased both SANS and XmCT-derived specific surface area
(by $56\%$ and $22\%,$ respectively), porosity (XmCT-derived
porosity increased from $3.8\%$ to $5.2\%),$ the relative
fraction of large pores ≥50 μm, decreased compressive
strength from 50 ± 3 MPa to 39 ± 3 MPa, and favored
microstructural and compositional
inhomogeneities.SignificanceExplain aspects of powder design
affecting the setting reaction and, in turn, cement
performance, to help in optimizing cement formulation. The
mechanism behind development of porosity and specific
surface area explains mechanical performance, and processes
such as erosion and fluoride release/uptake.},
