Abstract

The influence of fluorite content of the glass on the formation and properties of glass polyalkenoate cements was investigated. A series of glass powders based on 1.5SiO2.0.5P2O5.Al2O3.CaO.XCaF2 were synthesised. The glass transition temperature of the glass fell with increasing fluorite content. Setting and working times of the cement pastes decreased with increasing fluorite content of the glass. Compressive strength and un-notched fracture strength increased with increasing fluorite content of the glass. Fracture toughness and toughness of the cements were relatively insensitive to fluorite content. Copyright (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
