Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
A process for forming a hydroxyapatite film on a substrate, which process comprises arranging said substrate and a glass comprising CaO and SiO₂ as main components in a face-to-face relation at most 2 mm apart, and soaking the thus arranged substrate and glass in an aqueous solution substantially saturated or supersaturated with constituents of hydroxyapatite to form a bone-like hydroxyapatite film on a surface of the substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
37 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein said glass comprises 20 to 60 mol % CaO and 80 to 20 mol % SiO₂ and the total amount of CaO and SiO₂ is at least 70 mol %.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
A process according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said aqueous solution contains Ca and P as a solute in amounts of 0.1 to 10 mM as Ca²⁺ ion and 0.1 to 50 mM as HPO₄²⁻ ion, respectively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein said aqueous solution has a pH of 5 to 9.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process according to any one of the preceding claims wherein said aqueous solution is at a temperature of 5 to 70°C.
