Hence, the present study aimed to elucidate the setting mechanism of CPC, which was fabricated using beta -tricalcium phosphate (beta -TCP)-inositol phosphate (IP6) composite powder using NMR In addition, the effect of IP6 on the local chemical structure of the beta -TCP-IP6 composite powder and its hardened cement would also be investigated. The H-1 -> P-31 heteronuclear correlation NMR spectrum revealed that an amorphous hydrated layer, along with small amount of hydroxyapatite (HA) was formed on the surface of beta -TCP during the ball-milling process. Results demonstrated that the IP6 in the hydrated layer on the surface of beta -TCP inhibited the formation of HA. Moreover, the setting reaction of the cement was mainly triggered by the dissolution of the amorphous hydrated layer on beta -TCP surface, and subsequent precipitation, followed by the inter-entanglement between the HA crystals on the beta -TCP. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KonishiToshiisa en-aut-sei=Konishi en-aut-mei=Toshiisa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamashitaKohei en-aut-sei=Yamashita en-aut-mei=Kohei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataKohei en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Kohei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=LimPoon Nian en-aut-sei=Lim en-aut-mei=Poon Nian kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ThianEng San en-aut-sei=Thian en-aut-mei=Eng San kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=AizawaMamoru en-aut-sei=Aizawa en-aut-mei=Mamoru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Organization for the Strategic Coordination of Research and Intellectual Property, Meiji University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Applied Chemistry, School of Science and Technology, Meiji University kn-affil= en-keyword=beta-tricalcium phosphate kn-keyword=beta-tricalcium phosphate en-keyword=calcium-phosphate cement kn-keyword=calcium-phosphate cement en-keyword=inositol phosphate kn-keyword=inositol phosphate en-keyword=solid-state NMR kn-keyword=solid-state NMR en-keyword=setting mechanism kn-keyword=setting mechanism END
