Objective To investigate the setting property and compressive strength of β-TCP (β-tricalcium phosphate)/α-CSH (α-calcium sulphate hemihydrate) combined bone graft. Method βTCP/αCSH combined bone graft and distilled water were mixed with different ratio: 1 g∶0.1 mL、1 g∶0.2 mL、1 g∶0.3 mL、1 g∶0.4 mL、1 g∶0.5 mL, respectively. The initial setting time (Ti), final setting time (TF), compressive strength were recorded, and the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) were examined. Results The initial and final setting time of combined bone graft increased along with the increase of solid/liquid ratio. The Ti and TF were (4.6±1.3) min and (13.1±2.9) min respectively when the solid/liquid ratio was 1 g∶0.2 mL. The average compressive strength was 7.86 MPa in one day after setting, which was about two times higher than that of β-TCP alone. The XRD results showed that no other materials were produced except that α-CSH was transformed to CSD in the setting process. The SEM results indicated that thick CSD granules were adhered to the porous surfaces of β-TCP granules after setting. Conclusions The setting time and compressive strength of β-TCP/α-CSH combined bone graft could be adjusted by the different solid/liquid ratio.
