Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a hydrogel formulation in which the solid phase is composed of a continuous net work of siloxane bonds and one or more calcium phosphate phases doped with one or more metal dopants.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A hydrogel formulation comprising: a solid phase composed of a continuous network of siloxane bonds and one or more calcium phosphate phases doped with one or more metal dopants; and an aqueous phase, or a precursor or anhydrate thereof. 2 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 wherein the one or more metal dopants is or includes ions of a rare earth element. 3 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 2 wherein the rare earth element is selected from the group consisting of erbium, cerium and ytterbium. 4 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more metal dopants is or includes aluminium ions. 5 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more calcium phosphate phases are fluoride ion-substituted. 6 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more calcium phosphate phases includes fluorapatite. 7 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more calcium phosphate phases are fluoride ion-substituted and the one or more metal dopants is or includes aluminium ions. 8 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more calcium phosphate phases are fluoride ion-substituted and the one or more metal dopants is or includes ions of a rare earth element. 9 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more calcium phosphate phases are fluoride ion-substituted and the one or more metal dopants is or includes aluminium ions and ions of a rare earth element. 10 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more calcium phosphate phases is or includes synthetic hydroxyapatite or a synthetic precursor thereof. 11 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more calcium phosphate phases is or includes a synthetic mineral of formula CaHPO 4 .xH 2 O (wherein x is 0, 1 or 2). 12 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more calcium phosphate phases include monetite which is the predominant calcium phosphate phase. 13 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more calcium phosphate phases include brushite which is the predominant calcium phosphate phase. 14 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the solid phase is further composed of chitosan. 15 . The hydrogel formulation as claimed in claim 1 , obtained or obtainable by a process comprising: (a) preparing an aqueous mixture of a calcium ion-containing solution, a phosphate ion-containing solution and a metal dopant-containing solution in the presence of the siloxane network precursor; (b) causing the formation of the solid phase in the aqueous mixture; and (c) isolating the hydrogel formulation. 16 .- 30 .
