The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a titanium
dioxide photocatalyst composite material, and relates to a method for
manufacturing a titanium dioxide composite ceramic material on which
photoactive (photooxidative) apatite or another calcium phosphate
monocrystal is partially deposited, wherein the method is characterized
in promoting the following reactions by immersing titanium dioxide in an
aqueous solution containing an excess of phosphorus ions and calcium ions
in comparison with an artificial body fluid in order to fabricate a
titanium dioxide photocatalyst composite material on which a compound
composed of one or more apatite or other calcium phosphate
Ca.sub.9(PO.sub.4).sub.6 monocrystals is partially deposited: (1) forming
and aggregating calcium phosphate clusters and producing octacalcium
phosphate; (2) converting the octacalcium phosphate into an apatite or
other calcium phosphate Ca.sub.9(PO.sub.4).sub.6 monocrystal; and (3)
growing the monocrystal.
