  • Published:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Powders of calcium pyrophosphate Ca2P2O7 of γ- and β-modifications have been obtained using the thermal conversion of brushite CaHPO4⋅2H2O synthesized from phosphoric acid H3PO4 and calcium carbonate CaCO3 at a molar ratio P/Ca = 1.1. The resulting powders can be used to create various functional materials, including biocompatible and bioresorbable materials for the treatment of bone defects.
