NOVEL BIOACTIVE COATINGS AND THEIR PREPARATION AND USE

摘要

This invention relates to novel coating materials for biomedical application s, particularly for the use on biomedical implants, said coating material comprising gel-derived titania wherein said material is capable of inducing calcium phosphate formation onto its surface under in vitro conditions, e.g. in a simulated bo dy fluid and/or under in vivo conditions. The invention further includes processes for the preparation of the coating materials as well as their use in biomedical implant technology.
