Miscellaneous copper oxide and cobalt hydroxide cements

5 Miscellaneous copper oxide and cobalt hydroxide cements 

Copper(II) oxide and cobalt(II) hydroxide form cements with solutions of many multifunctional organic acids propanetricarboxylic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, pyruvic acid, mellitic acid, gallic acid, tannic acid and phytic acid (Allen et al., 1984 Prosser et al., 1986). These have been used mainly in cement devices for the sustained release of copper and cobalt (Manston et al., 1985 Mansion Gleed, 1985). Little is known about
