Abstract
Abstract A method for forming a hydroxyapatite coating film on a substrate which comprises coating a dispersion of flocculated colloids of hydroxyapatite on a substrate and drying. The coating method of this invention does not require heating of the coated substrate to high temperature and hence can also be applied to a substrate which is easily deteriorated with heat. The coated substrate of this invention has excellent strength and adhesion force and is useful in a variety of fields, particularly as an implant and as a material, adsorbing and separating agent.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
A method for forming a hydroxyapatite coating film on a substrate, which comprises coating a dispersion of flocculated colloids of hydroxyapatite having a sedimentation volume of more than 27 ml/g onto a substrate, and drying the coated substrate, wherein the dispersion is prepared by forming sediment of flocculated colloids of hydroxyapatite in a supernatent liquor, removing said supernatant liquor, and, without drying, dispersing the sediment.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
65 words
A method for forming a hydroxyapatite coating film on a substrate, which comprises coating a dispersion of flocculated colloids of hydroxyapatite having a sedimentation volume of more than 27 ml/g onto a substrate, and drying the coated substrate, wherein the dispersion is prepared by forming sediment of flocculated colloids of hydroxyapatite in a supernatent liquor, removing said supernatant liquor, and, without drying, dispersing the sediment.
