Physico-mechanical assessment of plaster of Paris bandage produced from locally sourced materials

Abstract: Despite the abundance of gypsum and other materials needed for the production of plaster of Paris (POP) in the country, Nigeria relies heavily on the importation of orthopaedic POP bandage. Therefore, the present study aimed at producing POP bandage (LPOP) from locally sourced pure gypsum and cassava starch. Physico-chemical parameters, such as amylose content, amylopectin content, water absorption capacity (WAC), swelling capacity (SC) and browning-charring temperature (BCT) were obtained for the starch binde… Show more
