Conversion of gypsum to phosphate materials for novel composites with enhanced macroscopic properties

This thesis describes the synthesis, characterisation and macroscopic properties of phosphate materials made from gypsum, CaSO4⋅2H2O, using inorganic chemical reactions. The aim was to reduce the degradation of gypsum based materials by water exposure, using strategies that included the complete con...
