Abstract
Novel cements formed from zinc oxide powder and aqueous solutions of zinc nitrate are described. They belong to the class of material known as acid-base reaction cements. The zinc oxide/zinc nitrate cements have been found to show reasonable resistance to dissolution in dilute aqueous acid and in alkali, and to develop compressive strengths comparable with those of the related zinc oxychloride cements. Compressive strength was found to increase with increasing ratio of ZnO to Zn (NO3)2 solution, and with increasing concentration of Zn (NO3)2 in the aqueous solution. The cements appeared to be completely amorphous and exhibited no sign of crystallinity. The significance of these findings is discussed.
