Patent ID: 10376612

Abstract:
A material, especially a glassy material of pyrophosphate type, corresponding to the general formula (I): {[(M2+)1−x(R+)2x]2[(P2O74−)1−y(PO43−)4y/3]} n(H2O) in which x and y are positive rational numbers each between 0 and 0.8, and n is such that the weight percentage of water in the material is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 95. M2+ represents a bivalent ion of a metal chosen from calcium, magnesium, strontium, copper, zinc, cobalt, manganese and nickel, or any mixture of such bivalent ions. R+ represents a monovalent ion of a metal selected from potassium, lithium, sodium, and silver, or any mixture of such monovalent ions. This material in particular can be used in manufacturing of bone replacements or prosthesis coatings.
