Calcium Sulfate Nanopowder
Calcium Sulfate nanopowder is an inorganic compound that occurs naturally in the form of gypsum (hydrated calcium sulfate) and anhydrite (non-hydrated calcium sulfate). Calcium sulfate plays an essential role in a wide range of industrial applications, and when reduced to nanopowder form, its properties are significantly enhanced, including its surface area, reactivity, and functional versatility.
Applications
Biomedical Applications:
Bone Regeneration and Bone Grafts: Calcium sulfate nanoparticles is used in bone grafting materials due to its ability to promote bone growth and its biodegradable nature. When used as a scaffold in bone regeneration, the nanopowder supports new bone tissue formation by slowly dissolving and being replaced by natural bone. It is often combined with other biomaterials to improve its performance and integration with the surrounding tissues.
Drug Delivery Systems: The high surface area and biocompatibility of calcium sulfate nanopowder make it an ideal candidate for drug delivery. It can be used as a carrier material for controlled and sustained release of drugs, especially in the treatment of bone diseases or local infections. The nanopowder’s solubility allows for controlled degradation over time.
Wound Healing: Calcium sulfate nanoparticles has been studied for its ability to promote wound healing due to its biocompatibility and ability to facilitate tissue regeneration. It has been incorporated into dressing materials and wound care products to aid in the healing of chronic wounds or bone fractures.
Construction and Building Materials:
Cement and Plaster: Calcium sulfate, especially in the form of gypsum, is a critical ingredient in the manufacture of cement and plaster. is used to enhance the strength, workability, and durability of these materials. The fine particle size of the nanopowder accelerates the hydration process of cement, which can improve the setting time and increase the material’s mechanical properties.
