- •
Niobium and titanium oxides were prepared to determine the effect of structure on bioactivity.
- •
Simulated body fluid testing resulted in positive surface chemical and morphological changes.
- •
Amorphous, rod-like CaP deposits were observed on the surfaces.
- •
Niobium oxide exhibited a range of viability partially dependent on materials atomic structure.
