Time-sweep curves of alpha-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) cement pastes with (a) and (b) differing liquid to powder (L/P) ratios (0.35; 0.5; 0.65 g·g⁻¹) and liquid phases (0 w/v% water and 10 w/v% polymer solution) at 23 °C (the curves determined for the α-TCP cement pastes with the 20 w/v% polymer solution are shown in Supplementary Figure S4), (c) and (d) a constant L/P ratio of 0.5 g·g⁻¹ and differing polymer solution concentrations (0 w/v%, 10 w/v% and 20 w/v% polymer solutions) at 23 and 37 °C, respectively.
