A Study on Constitution and Properties of Gypsum-Polymer Composites

Gypsum is considered as one of the most common non-metallic minerals.
It consists of calcium sulphate dihydrate (CaSO4.2H2O).
It occurs in various forms such as Selenite, Alabaster, Satin spar, Rock gypsum and Gypsite.
It is the mother rock for different chemical industries and various applications.
When pure it contains 32.5 wt. % Lime (CaO), 46.6 wt. % sulphur trioxide (SO3) and 20.9 wt. % water.
It is one of the softest mineral, with a hardness of 2.0 on the Mohs’ scale of hardness (Phillips and Griffin1981).

The purity of the tested gypsum plaster sample was calculated to be around 96 % CaSO4.½H2O with small amount of siliceous materials and carbonates. The carbonates were calculated to be 1.34 % of MgCO3 and 1.9 % of CaCO3.
The investigated gypsum plaster sample blended 46 % water and gave long setting time (30 min) with moderate mechanical properties, 8.7 and 18.2 MPa for bending and compressive strengths respectively.
PVA/plaster composites showed a 56% increase in the compressive strength achieving 28.5 MPa with the addition of only 1.0 % by weight of PVA.
The influence of addition of P(VA-co-VAc-co-It) to plaster at a slightly higher concentration; 1.2 wt. % showed a maximum compressive strength of 23.2 MPa, which is 27% higher than that of polymer-free gypsum.
Conclusions
29
P(VC-co-VAc-co-VA)/plaster composites achieved a compressive strength value of 21.0 MPa, which is 15% higher than that of polymer-free gypsum (when the polymer added in 4.0 wt. %).
Findings showed a correlation between the polymer solubility as well as its chemical structure with its effect on the mechanical properties of the produced composites.
Selected gypsum-polymer composites with the highest mechanical properties were further evaluated for their preliminary bioactivity. SEM micrographs of the SBF-treated composites revealed the formation of bone-like apatite deposits on the composite surfaces as well as inside the open pores. Water insoluble copolymer P(VC-co-VAc-co-VA) showed the greatest extent of apatite coating.
