Phosphate cements, structural applications, mechanical properties. (en)Cementos de fosfato, aplicaciones estructurales, propiedades mecánicas. (es)
Phosphate cements originated more than a century ago for specific applications to the field of dentistry. These cements have other applications including: biomaterials with bone applications, stabilization of hazardous waste, and structural cements. However, the applications in civil infrastructure are recent and not widely known. Therefore, this review discusses and analyzes phosphate cements, presenting the most significant findings of the research to address their mechanical behavior of these cements. It also describes the impact and application of phosphate cements as a structural product (pastes, mortars and concretes), in addition to typical values of mechanical strength, workability, commercial applications, etc. As a result, the review allows to elucidate advantages and disadvantages in comparison with existing technologies and the mechanical possibilities of these cements as biomaterials and for the immobilization of radioactive waste.
Los cementos de fosfato se originaron hace más de un siglo para aplicaciones propias en el campo de la odontología. Estos cementos registran otras aplicaciones entre las que se destacan: biomateriales con aplicaciones óseas, estabilización de desechos peligrosos y como cemento estructural. Sin embargo, las aplicaciones en obras de infraestructura civil son recientes y poco conocidas. Por este motivo, esta revisión discute y analiza los cementos de fosfato, presentando los hallazgos más significativos de las investigaciones realizadas para abordar y comprender su comportamiento mecánico. También se describen el impacto y la aplicación de los cementos de fosfato como producto estructural (pastas, morteros y hormigones), así como valores típicos de resistencia mecánica, trabajabilidad, aplicaciones comerciales, etc. Como resultado, esta revisión permite dilucidar ventajas y desventajas en comparación con las tecnologías existentes y las posibilidades mecánicas de estos cementos como biomateriales y para la inmovilización de residuos radioactivos.
