The present invention provides a bone substitute material comprising a titanium or a titanium alloy and an anodic oxide film of the titanium or titanium alloy, wherein the anodic oxide film is formed on a surface of the titanium or titanium alloy, wherein inorganic compound microparticles are firmly fixed to a surface and/or inside of the anodic oxide film, and wherein the inorganic compound contains at least phosphorus and calcium. The present invention further provides a medical material comprising the bone substitute material and a method for manufacturing the bone substitute material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to electrodeposition material for the electrochemical deposition of a corrosion-protective layer of TiO2 on an electrically conductive substrate comprising a titanium compound, a complexing agent, an accelerator, water and optionally organic solvents, buffering agents and one or more additives, characterized in that the titanium compound is titanyl sulfate and/or titanyl oxalate, the complexing agent is selected from the group consisting of citric acid, citrates, tartaric acid, tartrates, lactic acid, lactates, gluconic acid, gluconates, polyhydroxy-polycarbonic acids, ethylenediaminetetraacetate, methylglycinediacetate, iminodisuccinate, nitrilotriacetic acid and nitrilotriacetate, triethanolamine, phosphonic acid and phosphonates, polyaspartic acid and polyaspartates, polyacrylic acid and polyacrylates and the accelerator is selected from the group consisting of H2O2 and organic peroxides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for providing a metal substrate with corrosion-protection and corrosion-resistance, respectively, as well as to the products thus obtainable. Said process comprises coating said metal substrate with a thin layer of at least one metal oxide selected from the group consisting of TiO2, Bi2O3 and ZnO, preferably TiO2, by electrochemically depositing said metal oxide layer on at least one surface of said metal substrate. At the same time, said metal oxide layer may serve as a primer layer for subsequent coating treatment (e.g. coating with organic materials, such as for instance lacquers, varnishes, paints, organic polymers, adhesives, etc.).

Abstract: A pigment dispersion composition for fill-in coloration of an aluminum or aluminum alloy oxide film is provided, which comprises at least a pigment, a pigment dispersant, a water-soluble organic solvent, water, and a water-soluble amine and/or a derivative thereof. Pigment particles of the pigment dispersion composition are filled in micropores of the aluminum oxide film to a great depth, so that a vivid color film having excellent weatherability and fastness can be provided. In addition, the composition offers a high adaptability for repetitive coloration, and allows pigment deposited on the film surface other than in the micropores to be washed away by simple immersion in still water or running water.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a pigment dispersion composition for depositing a multiplicity of pores existing in anodic oxide films formed on a surface of an aluminum or aluminum alloy material by way of electrophoresis for coloration, the pores being preliminarily enlarged to have a diameter of 50 nm to 250 nm. The pigment dispersion composition comprises water, a pigment dispersant and a pigment. The pigment dispersed in the pigment dispersion composition has a median particle size of not greater than 250 nm in a particle-size distribution thereof with not greater than 30% of the pigment particles being impassable through a sieve having a mesh size of 300 nm. The pigment dispersion composition is useful for coloration of the anodic oxide films, and has excellent repeated-coloration characteristics.

Abstract: A fast and brightly colored oxide film of aluminum which excels in durability and allows no separation of pigment is produced by using an aqueous dispersion of an organic pigment or carbon black finely divided to a size in the range between 3 and 150 nm, forming on a surface of an aluminum member an anodic oxide film containing pores larger in diameter than the ordinary pores, and causing the organic pigment or carbon black to migrate and deposit in the pores of the oxide film by means of electrophoresis. The formation of the anodic oxide film containing the pores larger in diameter than the ordinary pores is accomplished in the first method by subjecting the aluminum member to anodic oxidation at a high voltage in an aqueous solution of acid.

Abstract: Durable and clear blue color of freely controlled density can be expeditiously and efficiently impated to an anodic oxide film of aluminum by a method which comprises forming the anodic oxide film on the aluminum or aluminum alloy, then subjecting the aluminum or aluminum alloy to AC electrolysis in a bath containing an inorganic ferrous salt as a main component thereof thereby inducing deposition of iron in the pores of the oxide film, and subsequently placing the aluminum or aluminum alloy as an anode in a bath containing hexacyano iron (II) acid salt as a main component thereof and subjecting the same to DC electrolysis therein. In the alternative method, the pore-widening treatment is added next to said step of anodic oxidation. The pore-widening treatment is effected by immersing the aluminum or aluminum alloy in sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid or electrolyzing the same in phosphoric acid or a mixed solution of phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid.

Abstract: An aluminum or aluminum alloy material is subjected to anodic oxidation, then to a treatment of electrophoresis in a bath containing a hexacyanoferrate (II) or hexacyanoferrate (III), and subsequently to a treatment of immersion in a bath containing at least one metal salt selected from the group consisting of salts of Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, Cd, Ba, Tl, and Mg and at least one electrolyte selected from the group consisting of sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, sodium chloride, and potassium chloride. Consequently, a coloring compound formed by the reaction of the aforementioned hexacyanoferrate (II) or hexacyanoferrate (III) with the aforementioned metal salt is deposited in the receding parts of micropores of an anodic oxide coating, with the result that the aluminum or aluminum alloy material is endowed with a durable color.

Abstract: A dispersion improved carbon black compounded rubber composition comprises a rubber component and a reinforcing carbon black in an amount of from 30 to 150 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the rubber component. The rubber component is selected from a group consisting of a natural rubber, synthetic isoprene rubber and a mixture thereof, or a blend of this rubber component with a diene base synthetic rubber other than this rubber component. The reinforcing carbon black has a specific surface area of from 70 to 200 m.sup.2 /g when measured by a nitrogen adsorption method and a DBP value of from 80 to 130 ml/100 g, and is obtained by introducing mainly phenolic hydroxide groups into the surface of the carbon black through plasma treatment at low temperatures or by introducing carboxyl groups and the phenolic hydroxide groups thereinto through plasma treating at low temperatures and neutralizing the thus introduced acid groups.
