## Abstract The matrix of a stoichiometric zinc polycarboxylate cement has been shown to be identical with zinc polycarboxylate salt, which consists principally of neutralized carboxylate groups with a few free acid groups. When excess zinc oxide is present, as in practical cements, there are no fr

✦ Synopsis
The behavior of the electrical conductivity of polycarboxylate cement with temperature was studied from room temperature up to 160OC. The effects of powder/liquid ratio, mixing temperature, percentage of MgO in the powder, and aging on this behavior were also investigated. The results obtained revealed that the electrical conductivity decreases with increasing the powder/liquid ratio and with decreasing mixing temperature and the amount of MgO in the powder. The reason for the changes of the conductivity due to the mentioned factors were discussed.

## Abstract Zinc polycarboxylate cement (PAZ) was shown to actively bond to ^45^Ca __in vitro__, with maximum uptake occurring at a Ca^+2^ concentration of 0.2 mg/ml. When the resultant PAZ‐^45^Ca complex was subsequently incubated in the presence of high levels of unlabeled Ca^+2^, there was an ex
